Nikon ZR Review: A Full-Frame Video Body That Finally Admits What It Is

The ZR is Nikon finally making a camera that admits what half its Z6III buyers were actually doing with it. Same partially stacked 24.5MP sensor, same autofocus, no EVF, no mechanical shutter, boxy gimbal-friendly body, giant 4-inch 1000-nit display, and 6K 60p in R3D raw. That last part is the Nikon-Red acquisition paying its first real dividend. If you're running a gimbal rig for commercial video or doco work, you no longer need to compromise with a stills-first body. The 32-bit float internal audio is genuinely new ground. At $2199 USD it undercuts the Z6III by $500 while doing more on the video side. Stills shooters can move on. This one's for the videographers.
