If you’re researching the best camera for YouTube, the best vlogging camera, or a compact cinema tool for professional work, the ZR brings serious video features to a lightweight body. Highlights include:

• 6K up to 60p with a wide frame-rate range from 24p to 240p for slow motion and flexible delivery.
• Semi-stacked full-frame sensor with wide dynamic range (approx. 15+ stops)
• Dual Base ISO 800/6400 for clean results in bright and low light.
• RED R3D NE codec leveraging RED colour science for robust grading and easier cross-camera matching.
• Internal 32-bit float audio for massive headroom and clip-free capture without riding levels.
• 5-axis IBIS and focus breathing compensation for smoother handheld shots and consistent framing during focus pulls.
• 4-inch vari-angle touchscreen (16:10) with DCI-P3 coverage and support for loading up to 10 user LUTs.
• Intelligent AF with subject detection, adjustable AF transition speeds and reliable tracking.
• Approx. 540 g, weather-sealed body with efficient passive heat dissipation for long takes.
• Nikon Z-mount compatibility with NIKKOR Z lenses (and options for adapted F-mount and third-party cine glass).

Pairing the ZR with the NIKKOR Z 24–70mm f/2.8 S II provides pro-grade optics, internal zoom for a steadier balance on gimbals and tripods, smoother focus transitions, and minimal breathing.

This event is perfect for:

• Liverpool filmmakers and content creators looking to upgrade to the latest technology
• Creators upgrading from hybrid bodies to a cinema-first tool without the bulk.
• Anyone deciding between the best camera for videography, the best vlogging camera, or the best camera for YouTube in 2025. The Nikon ZR is an affordable option, but with professional features suited for a wide range of uses.
