unless you're doing selfies, the Z8 has a better screen mechanism. Also it won't overheat.

Can you clarify this - so it works well on PAL inputs, but not NTSC?

I'm surprised at andrew's positivity at the fx2. I will say some positive things: I like the viewfinder (detachable would be better). I like the 2 screw holes at the bottom. and I like the exposed ports. But yeah.. Nikon won't have to do much with the ZR to become top option. Open gate, and Red's colour would be enough.

Where are these from? Nikonrumors didn't post these? I'd like to see 14bit readout too though. This is also a comment from Phil Holland, which isn't too different: "If I was a guessing man, I think the efforts of RED and Nikon could lead to a smaller sized FX3-ish sort of Komodo, probably a model with in body stabilization to appease the crowd. But perhaps sticking to a more useful Komodo-X body type with a focus on trimming some length and weight. Maybe getting it down to 2lbs again. Perhaps with a flip up top LCD that folds down and rotates for protection with a decent latch so you can still use it for things Komodo really does well." Personally I'd really like to see open gate, and ND's.

Except they made a sensor https://petapixel.com/2024/03/11/panasonics-organic-sensor-may-be-complete-but-likely-wont-be-used/

Love a hot take like this. I kinda agree it's not going to get people to switch for the price. but it does offer a lot of features. 50/60p open gate is pretty cool.

Damn, nice. I've been saying cameras should be doing this. considering you can get like an hour on those batteries, it's a no brainer. But it doesn't have xlr built into the camera??

If you use an external monitor with the new red luts it shouldn't be a problem, but yeah hopefully they give us firmware updates with IPP2 soon

I already got the Z8 an love it. I do think the xh2s still has nicer log profile (it's basically the same as arri) and open gate, but the Nikon is a lot more reliable in every other way.

We do. It was 85mil. Bargain.

They operate like consumer tech brands, but a lot of sales would be to pros who would like to plan investments.

Aside from possible firmware updates or, we won't see anything from that for at least 2-3 years. Unless it's just releasing a current Red camera with Z mount.

So it's been 3.5 years. What's the latest? About the time it takes for a camera development cycle. Either we're going to see something soon, or this was a genius SEO article.

This could be interesting. When do we think Nikon would release something?

Was going to say this. The bezels on these camera displays are huge. They could go up to 4" just by reducing those.

And yet the z6iii and z8 are better than any L mount options

Wow. The price of these is going to plummet on the grey market

Probably in a technical sense, but you will never be able to see it.

How does evf fix this? Do you have examples of video explaining?

Well now I have the z8 for stills I just need them to put the z8 in a cine body (fx3 or komodox) with internal NDs, open gate, and a better log curve.

Looks like it's only a problem with the nisi vnd

Probably. But does anyone have a comparison between R3D and N-raw? the fact that N-raw files aren't split up and is 10-15 years newer is already an advantage

The red guy already said in a YouTube video that they've licensed raw to all the major brands. We just haven't seen the releases yet.

why do you think sony owns autofocus, or that nikon licences it from them?

Lol what. Only some of Nikon's sensors are Sony designed. Others like the z9 are designed by Nikon and then manufactured by Sony.
