it only works if you copy the clips straight from CFExpress to some Finder folder, then rename them, and after that import them to Resolve

It would be funny if turns out RED and Nikon couldn't push Davinci developers to address the issue with nraw rendering and decided to fix it themselves by a metadata trick.

Really funny indeed, it seems with long takes the only way to trim and save only important parts of footage is through Resolve’s Media management. Tried to rename clips to R3D first in CFExpress, but exporting trimmed parts from Resolve did not work. 
Compared one old clip and other than R3D’s chroma NR there was not much difference to NEV. Have to test this more with clips that are saved straight from card as NEV.

Yeah I was looking at the images posted back when I first mentioned the XLR inputs. It was obviously the XLR2D, but it clearly wasn't the analog one since it didn't have the battery pack underneath. I wonder if Tascam is updating it to have dual ADC and 32 bit float, or if it's the one they already have for Canon and Fuji?

I misread the press release as it says full details will be released in October rather than the actual product being released in October so I’m guessing confirmation won’t come until then about that.

Nikon’s Japan site showing official release date there of 24th of October.

That tax inclusive price of ¥299,200 is taking the value for money to another level really isn’t it 😂

You have to keep what you save to buy CFe cards 😉

is there any advantage if you have Z6 III ?

More detail or better dynamic range with red raw instead prores/nraw  raw etc ?

32-bit float audio in the in-camera mic as well as analog input. Digital microphone interface in the hot shoe, will be utilized by Nikon's own microphone (no cables) and TASCAM's audio adapter. Larger and brighter display. Future V-mount battery compatibility. More codecs, and presumably solved the flickering problem (since it's not mentioned in early evaluations and this camera's video first nature, I would expect they solved it). 130 grams lighter than the Z6III.  LUT upload into camera for viewing. 

 

Drawbacks compared to Z6III: no EVF, no mechanical shutter, second card is micro-SD rather than SD.
