Not good enough.

Zero overheating even in 6k 60p raw. But I live in Scandinavia so take that with a grain of salt. Sadly riddled by moiré though, other than that an amazing camera. Extremely disappointed that Nikons first “cinema” camera seems to be catering to the “content creating” vlog crowd. The only thing that could possibly save this is some sort of new ultra efficient red raw codec and a brilliant OLPF.

Yes, I would prefer no ibis for a multitude of reasons. The C50 is such a chubby FX3 epigone that it has to outclass it in order to not be torn apart by all the shilltubers. Open gate is more or less confirmed, but what sensor and what read out speed and what dynamic range we will see is still unclear. But nice that they put a CFexpress card inside, the rumors were talking about 2x SD.

I really hope they don't ruin it with IBIS. And seeing that they use the LP-E6p, battery life will probably be ok, but not great.

You are welcome.

XQD. And 1.5 generations hardly constitute a “tradition”.

Thank god for that. I presume Canon will put a decent OLPF in it like they normally do, so my biggest concern now is read out speed.

Wonderfully shameless rip off of the FX3. Now let's just hope that the C50 is better than the upcoming FX3ii. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/780PWiZDFo8

That’s down to pure luck. No pro mist filter has ever helped reduced moiré on my moiré prone cameras.

Of course I tried filtration, but as we know filters have no impact on wave interference.

As someone who bought the Z6iii twice and returned it twice I really hope the Zr has a strong OLPF. I loved almost everything about the z6iii but the excessive moiré killed it for me.

Agreed on the screeen, but as a former owner of the Z8 which is all in all a lovely camera I found it to have two flaws that made me sell it: Moiré and overheating, especially when exposed to a little bit of sunlight.

I know why moiré and aliasing occurs and of course there are differences but as someone who has had important shots ruined by it and a as someone with a heavy addiction I’ve owned and tested more cameras than what is considered to be sane. And I can tell you this: a good olpf clearly makes a whole lot of difference both with regards to moiré suppression and the texture of details in the image. Canon R5(c) and the Sony A9iii has stood out to me when it comes to this. The whole A9-series have very good OLPFs and the latest iteration is no exception. Canon usually does well in the cinema department too and the perfect downscaled 8K to 4K and an OLPF is very effective on the R5-series. There is a reason the Sony Venice and the Alexas have dedicated teams who only work on producing the most effective OLPF possible.

No OLPF, tons of moiré and slower readout than the much cheaper Z6iii (with excellent n-raw). Thanks but no thanks.

And not a single Word on an OLPF in the white papers. Probably saving that for the S1Hii coming in a decade.
