If you ask why they don't add another hole to make it more secure on tripod, here is your answer. Its bottom of Z6iii. There is no room for another one lol

You have to keep what you save to buy CFe cards 😉

Its all speculation, but it makes sense to switch from 12bit to 14bit in Super35 mode. The main reason almost all cameras are at 12bit in full frame video is basically power consumption. But in crop modes, they have to deal with less resolution, so the total consumption stays low. There is also another theory. Canon is known for applying NR to the raw video. Maybe the CPU is not powerful enough to apply the same amount of NR applied to Super35, to the 7k image, or if it does, there will be overheating/power consumption issues. Or maybe we're reading too much between the line and the official spec table has incorrect number and will be edited soon.

Not trying to jump into your apparently long discussion, but EXACT look of Full Frame can be achieved on M43, but you need faster lens, and once you go that fast, the lens becomes so big and heavy that the size advantage of the M43 format loses its relevance at that point. But the difference between 44mm wide sensor and 36mm wide sensor is far less than FF and M43. Its basically f/1.2 vs. f/1.4. And at the same time, lens makers of the two systems went opposite direction. FF lenses are now bigger and faster than 44mm MF lenses, cause FF systems want to differentiate themselves from low end cameras, even at the expense of size/weight, while MF systems want to break the collective mindset that MF=Bulky/Inconvenient.

It would be funny if turns out RED and Nikon couldn't push Davinci developers to address the issue with nraw rendering and decided to fix it themselves by a metadata trick.

Yea, and I suggested considering NRAW normal as R3S LQ. But you have to be careful about base ISOs.

The fact that NRAW High bitrate is exactly same as R3D NE, could be a hint

No translation, but you don't need to.

In Z6iii, normal quality NRAW for 6k24p is only 750mbs. Import the file in CineX Pro, and rename the .NEV extension to .R3D, then select log3g10. Thats your REDCODE LQ.

Thats why The Creator shot on FX3 was so surprising for these categorizer youtubers. Many of mirrorless lenses don't cover the image circle of Raptor's VV sensor. But the actual film makers don't care about the vignette and use them anyway. Its not like "You can use Komodo for still photography". Its like these filmmakers recognize these lenses as cine tools.

Mood? I'm just saying we have never seen a cinematic work done by the Undone, and yet he thinks he is the one who defines what cine camera should be.

Gerald is pissed that they call it cine camera, then complain why the only dependable codec of the camera is the one used in cine cameras. Tho I understand for a video shooter who never leave his garage room YouTube studio, the quality of h.265 is important and Nikon should address that.

People already asking for Z8 sensor in ZR body with air cooling! One thing this camera did, even before shipping, is raising expectations from Nikon. I mean with 8k60p capable stacked sensor, and IPP2 pipeline, you get almost $15k Raptor Xe image quality, with IBIS, and 1 second boot time.
