Nikon’s first compact cinema camera takes gold at EISA Awards
EISA has named the Nikon ZR Photo/Video Camera 2026-2027, praising a whole raft of features and calling it “unique”
The Nikon ZR, Nikon's first compact cinema camera, has won the Photo/Video Camera 2026-2027 award at the EISA Awards. The EISA jury commended the camera's "attractive features" and "reasonable price," while highlighting its RED color science and codecs. They even described it as a "unique tool." The Nikon ZR stands out in the crowded market of compact cinema cameras like the Sony FX5 and Canon EOS C50, offering a 4-inch rear screen, a fanless design, and access to Nikon's Z-mount optics.
EISA also praised the camera's "excellent audio," thanks to its internal 32-bit float recording, as well as its 7.5 stops of in-body image stabilization (IBIS) and autofocus performance. The Expert Imaging and Sound Association (EISA), a group of experts from 51 magazines, websites, and social media outlets across 26 countries, delivered their verdict on the latest consumer technology.
The acquisition of RED by Nikon in 2024, when Nikon was still relatively new in the video sphere, marked a significant step for Nikon. This win could indicate promising future collaborations between Nikon and RED.
