This camera is amazing, I love the weight and build of the camera. The amount of value for the price is insane. I've filmed some content recently for a client and they are loving the new look.

This an absolutely great camera and it produces an exceptional image. But Nikon you need to do something about the Raw file sizes. R3D offer a few options for compression rates and considering this camera is delivering Raw in 12-but there is absolutely no reason for the files to be so massive. Honestly it prevents me from using the camera to its true potential on any larger projects. Which is where I really need it. Especially with where the state if memory is with AI gobbling it up. Creator just can't handle these massive file sizes.

Love the camera. Cons are much the same as everyone else. While I love the size, having an optional external casing without needing to buy a cage to offer better grip would be nice. Having the ability to connect to an outside storage capture as well a dual slots would be great (I've heard it's in the making and files can be huge). As for micro HDMI I think going with this it should automatically come with some form of locking mechanism preventing damage. Also not sure how...... but where the ports are, interferes with the screen when viewed on the side of the camera. All this said...... incredible idea for a camera and love it. It can be point and shoot right out of the box. But to get it to where it's more functional won't be. For the price point you can't go wrong.

I think this is one of the best Cameras released as of late, and I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it, I just wish there was more first party Nike on lenses for cinema released with this camera that is cinema based, something a little bit better than third-party competitors, but still affordable Cina anamorphic lens from Nikon for the z mount

As a working professional in both weddings, and corporate photo video, this camera is NEARLY a godsend. Let me explain:I currently own the Z8, Z6iii, ZF and now the ZR. I love this brand, and I love how images are captured on Nikon. I have used many systems, (Sony, Fuji x and GFX, Leica, and Canon) and truly find Nikon to be the cream of the crop or, nearly so. The ZR, while certainly an entry level video camera product (based on its price point) does punch above its weight class, yet faults to finish in a few key areas. I feel some of these are intentional, to learn room for future "Z Cinema" products (which is fine) and some of these are bizarre omissions that should be addressed in firmware. Nikon - PLEASE give us more RED cinema tools. You have a real chance to swing hard at the completion. This camera is begging for - False color, improved waveforms, edge focus, RED traffic lights, anamorphic de-squeeze, and open gate. These features would truly propel this product to a new height. I want more Z Cinema cameras; WE the creators and small businesses want better! please. a Z8 - R cinema camera would be incredible with the above mentioned features, and XLR audio support, with improved IBIS, and fans! Please do not let this be the only attempt you make at true cinema / videography tools. This needs to be the first chapter in the book, not a short story of what could have been.

This camera is the bes camera I have own in my entire life. In fact it should be a 4.8 stars review, due to minor inconvenients I have found on the design while using it. BUT REALLY, at this size and for that price, I have no business in complaining about anything at all. This camera exceeds. PROS: The whole camera. The concept behind it. I totally get it. Then the question to the get to the CONS.Why is this camera not a quarter of an inch deeper. It could have permited other system for the screen. I hate the screen is not tiltable up and down in its regular space. And also hate that when out to the side keeps hitting anything I have conected to the body with its ports. This is not for sure a camera for bloggers, primary, so I think this is the biggest flow. Second, the menus, wholy cow! Maybe in the future there could be an improvement on it. To have more buttons for the quick menus. among then one to activate or deactivate luts when shoting on red RAW NE. Also more viusally organized, perhaps. Finaly, better conection ports. Above all regarding the Micro HDMi. At least it could have been MINI HDMI. That's a little bit better, more robust. Now, all the cons I have about it, and as you can see I have some, are erased, when placing the materail this camera creates in a timeline and seeing the results out of it, when working in the most pro codec it has. CONGRATS!!! Nikon team.

Awesome camera. Currently have a Z8 and the ZR will be my new go to camera for traveling and everyday shooting. Love the smaller size. Still getting used to no EVF.A lot to learn about Red Cinema video. Watching lots of YouTube videos on some of the new functions and processes. Pros:Compact sizeTouch ScreenZ lensesFull FrameR3DCons:Micro HDMIBetter ergonomics without having to buy a cage which I didDual CFExpress slotsNeed more Red video functions

The best camera I ever had. Video is out of this world and still images are 24 megapixel perfection. I did not think a camera can improve the quality of life this much.
