Today RED sent out an email (by mistake, I assume) offering users to upgrade to one of the following cameras:
- V-RAPTOR [X] Z Mount Starter Pack
- V-RAPTOR [X] Z Mount Production Pack (V-Lock)
- V-RAPTOR [X] Z Mount Production Pack (Gold Mount)
- V-RAPTOR [X] 8K VV Starter Pack
- V-RAPTOR [X] 8K VV Production Pack (V-Lock)
- V-RAPTOR [X] 8K VV Production Pack (Gold Mount)
- V-RAPTOR XL [X] 8K VV Production Pack (V-Lock)
- V-RAPTOR XL [X] 8K VV Production Pack (Gold Mount)
As you probably already noticed, the first three cameras are listed as RED V-RAPTOR [X] for Nikon Z-mount. RED currently does not have any cameras with Z-mount.
The RED V-RAPTOR [X] is priced at $30k (pictured above). Additional informtion is available here:
RED is showcasing the all-new V-RAPTOR [X] and V-RAPTOR XL [X] cameras at the 2024 NAB show
A new Nikon Z-mount video camera has been rumored for a while and was described to me as “brick-shaped, without pentaprism, similar to current RED models” (see this post).
RED recently added Nikon RAW (N-RAW) support to RedCine-X Pro.
Maybe Nikon will make the announcement together with the Nikon Nikkor Z 28-135mm f/4 PZ zoom lens and the new line of Nikkor cinema lenses? Stay tuned!
Update – we may have the first “RED ZED” teaser already:
The Nikon/RED tree is bearing a new fruit: RedCine-X Pro is adding Nikon RAW (N-RAW) support
Nikon is expected/rumored to have a slow 2025 year (in terms of new product announcements)
What to expect: an update list of upcoming/rumored Nikon cameras and Nikkor lenses
