Nikon ZR Debuts as First Nikon‑RED Camera With Internal R3D RAW

The release brings RED workflows to a mirrorless body at a $2,199 price point on October 20.

Overview

  • ZR records internal 12‑bit RED R3D NE and uses RED color science for easier matching with RED cinema cameras.
  • It captures up to 6K/60 in RAW and 4K/120, with options including N‑RAW, ProRes RAW, ProRes 422 HQ, H.265 and H.264.
  • A 24.5MP partially stacked full‑frame sensor delivers IBIS, dual‑base ISO 800/6400 and a Nikon‑claimed 15+ stops of dynamic range.
  • The camera introduces in‑body 32‑bit float audio with OZO mic options and supports the new ME‑D10 digital shotgun via the hot shoe.
  • Shipping is set for October 20 at $2,199 (€2,349), with a compact design featuring a 4‑inch 1,000‑nit screen, micro HDMI, and CFexpress Type B plus microSD slots, while early R3D NE editing relies on REDCINE‑X PRO.
