    Five Key Takeaways from the Nikon ZR Full-Frame Cinema Camera specs

    September 10, 2025 / Comments Off on Five Key Takeaways from the Nikon ZR Full-Frame Cinema Camera specs

    Nikon has announced the first Nikon-branded Cinema Camera after the acquisition of RED, the highly respected US-based cinema camera company. It’s a true hybrid in the sense that it adopts IP from both companies; the main components of the mirrorless Z6 III, including the sensor and Expeed 7 processor, and RED’s colour processing technology. As expected, the ZR features a rectangular box-shaped body, typical of entry-level cinema cameras. Here are the Five Key takeaways of the Nikon ZR Full-Frame Cinema Camera announcement: Camera Specifications and Features: The Nikon ZR features a 6K full-frame sensor capable of recording up to 6K/60p.

    Sigma announces new 35mm F1.2 and 135mm F1.4 lenses for full-frame Sony and Leica cameras

    September 9, 2025 / Comments Off on Sigma announces new 35mm F1.2 and 135mm F1.4 lenses for full-frame Sony and Leica cameras

    Sigma has announced a new 35mm F1.2 DG Art series prime for Sony E-mount and Leica SL-mount cameras. This new DG II model is a completely new design and replaces the previous version. Being around 30% lighter and 20% shorter, it boasts a significant decrease in size and weight. The redesigned lens features one SLD element, four asphericals and an undisclosed number of elements made from high anomalous dispersion glass. It also features a floating element design by virtue of two High-response linear actuators, one each for the two focusing groups. When changing focus, the dedicated AF acutator in combination with the adoption of the aspherical elements “significantly suppresses focus-breathing,”…

    Lexar CFexpress 4.0 Type B 1TB limited time deal at Amazon

    September 3, 2025 / Comments Off on Lexar CFexpress 4.0 Type B 1TB limited time deal at Amazon

    Amazon UK has a limited-time deal on Lexar CFexpress 4.0 Type B 1TB [affiliate link*] at just £259.99 instead of the usual £300+ price (inc VAT). As a new Gen 4.0 card, the 1TB Type B Lexar has 3600/3000MB/s read/write speeds and, more importantly perhaps, a sustained (max) 2600MB/s write speed. I have one myself, and it’s both super fast and reliable. While most cameras benefit from those higher sustained write speeds, a suitable TB4 card reader is necessary to get the best out of it in workflow terms. *As an Amazon associate, I may earn commission on sales via these links.
