Announcement could be in September.

About that release... honestly, the whole RED acquisition reminds me so much of when I was waiting for the first high-speed video updates on the older bodies. I remember I had this massive project lined up years ago, and I spent weeks scouring every technical white paper I could find on sensor readout speeds and global shutter physics. I actually ended up chatting with a tech rep at a trade show who swore up and down that the next firmware would change everything for cinema workflows. I stayed up till 3 AM for the supposed drop, refreshing the page like a madman, only to realize I had totally mixed up the time zones and the server was down anyway. It turned into this whole ordeal where I had to rent a completely different rig at the last minute because the gear I had banked on just didnt exist yet. Its funny how history repeats itself with these technical leaps tho... basically makes you appreciate the old reliable gear even more while you wait.

> Has anyone heard any solid updates on the Nikon ZR release date? I've been seeing rumors about Q4 2025 for this RED-tech integrated cinema camera. I would suggest being cautious about a 2025 ship date. Integrating RED IP with Nikon hardware is gonna be a logistical nightmare for their firmware teams. If they're aiming for that FX3 style, thermal throttling is my biggest concern. Quick tips for when specs leak:

• Watch the sensor readout data. If it isnt a global shutter, check if it hits sub-5ms speeds. Anything slower will look like jello in a compact cinema body.
• Make sure you invest in high-sustained-write storage. You'll need something like the ProGrade Digital CFexpress Type B Cobalt 650GB to keep up with the internal raw bitrates without the camera shutting down.

Next few months.

In next week maybe.
