Nikon ZR preorders at BHphoto, Amazon, Adorama, Fotokoch, Foto Erhardt, Calumet, WexUK, Clifton
This week, both Nikon and Canon unveiled their new compact full-frame cine cameras. Meanwhile, the rumored L-mount cine camera spotted in a German YouTuber’s hands turned out to be none other than Nikon’s new Zr. So no L-mount cine camera coming is coming from Panasonic or DJI. We will have to wait till next year I guess 😉

Last week, a German YouTuber shared images of an unreleased compact cine camera fitted with a Viltrox PL-to-L mount adapter. After realizing the mistake, he re-uploaded the video with a larger blurred area to hide the details. Still, two key claims remain:
If this wasn’t just a diversion, the camera could be Panasonic’s upcoming full-frame model designed to rival the Sony FX3. I first heard whispers about such a camera back in April, though nothing was confirmed since then. It’s possible that it will feature the new S1II’s 24MP partially stacked sensor.
What do you think?
