What customers don't like about Nikon ZR

  • There is no viewfinder, so the screen is the only way to frame.
  • There is no built-in flash, so night shots need extra light.
  • At 133 mm wide, it needs a bag with room to spare.
  • Very high bitrate video needs fast, large memory cards.

Verdict

Slow motion at 4K and 120 fps is the headline of the Nikon ZR, and it comes with a full-frame sensor and 5000 Mbps video. The 12-bit recording leaves plenty of room for color grading. Fast subjects benefit from 20 fps shooting and 299 focus points with tracking. The stabilization is rated at 7.5 stops, which steadies handheld work. Two card slots mean a backup while you shoot, and the weather sealing helps on wet shoots. At 540 g it is easy to hold for a long shoot. The trade-off is the lack of a viewfinder, so the 4 in screen does all the framing. It suits a video shooter or a wildlife photographer who needs speed and a backup card, and does not mind working off a screen.
