Nikon Zr is coming

Looks like the video got pulled, but NikonRumors summarized some stuff:

Quote

no Open Gate Gate

no overheating

Micro HDMI

Price for camera only: $2,100

At $2,100, it's a much, much more interesting option than it was at $2,600.

I managed to see the whole video. He was saying colors looks like RED colors, but R3D fidelity is not there. Of course because its 12bit and not 16bit. Also the image is as noisy as Z6iii. He loves the large screen tho.

CVP guys are excited too

I guess I'll be curious to compare it with the OG Komodo.  Its dynamic range is really nothing to write home about.  It's some of the best DR I've seen from a global sensor, and definitely better than the E2-S6G - but compared with other cameras that I have which do 12-bit raw like the Ronin 4D, it is definitely not better and grading doesn't seem that much smoother either.
(Komodo-X is a lot better)

Also, a noisy image in raw partly just tells me that the manufacturer isn't baking it in - and I'm pretty OK with that.

Man, his review was a bit of a preview with very little detail. No hating because he had very little time, but comparing images in full sunny day and cloudy day is not very conclusive. For example, we know that they have a new hotshoe that seems to have an audio link.
