The Nikon Zr will be the next Z-mount camera with RED tech (R for RED)
I have been reporting for a while that the next Nikon announcement will be for a cinema camera with Z-mount and RED tech inside. The name of that model is rumored to be “Nikon Zr” or “Nikon ZR” (R for RED). This is what we know so far:
- Brick-shaped, video-oriented design, without pentaprism and EVF – a combination of the current RED models design, the Sony FX3, and the Nikon Z30
- Many features and tech from RED will be incorporated inside (not a new RED camera with Z-mount – we already got that)
- Z6 III sensor inside
- Very large LCD screen
- The official announcement is expected later this year, most likely in the third or fourth quarter of 2025
