So there are Up-dates for the Z camera`s...CF express cards usage and ... provide ProRes Raw video output to Atomos Ninja V recorders costing 200 usd.to implement....this all from an article of Sans Mirror ( Thom Hogan )....it is way too much for me to talk about,therefor a link to said article : https://www.sansmirror.com/newsviews/2019-mirrorless-camera/october-december-2019-newsv/and-heres-the-under-deliver.html But since when has Nikon started a co-operation with Apple ? Guess the Z saga is Not my cup o` tea..

My brief take on this is that we are at the start of a new card standard, it always takes time to work out the compatibilities and incompatibilities with these things, so many combinations are possible. As for Apple they likely developed the software for the new video format with Red, in order to recoup some R&D costs they are probably licensing the application of the technology to Nikon. I would expect $200 fee would be small change for anybody needing that technology (not needed by casual users), the rest of the gear (cameras AND computers) at that level is extremely expensive and no doubt many Z6 units would be involved. When you take into account the very high cost of dedicated video cameras the cost of a Z6 even with the conversion is likely to be tiny when compared, yet I understand the Z6 can provide most of the essentials a videographer needs in a much more compact and vastly cheaper unit.

Well it wont be happening on my Z7 as I dont do video. My Fuji XT3 is also 4K video capable and provides all that I would ever need. I dont even understand/know half the stuff necessary to make a video.

Lol, I have a Canon XL1S for the videos - that is even heavier than the D610!

Personally I have no interest in video but for someone who needs the capability I would imagine that a Z series camera is a very economical way to get what they need. My opinion on the ProRes RAW video capability, for what it is worth; occasionally a new format comes along that is so good that it becomes the standard from then on. If this new format is that good Nikon are well placed to benefit from being involved. I see no benefit in ignoring the new development and if video users want it then they may well buy Nikon to get it.

Put another way...is the serious still photographer being overtaken by the serious filmmaker, such that manufacturers have to consider their needs more? I am sure there are a lot of people who put together YouTube style videos but do they warrant top end video capture? Are we seeing an upsurge in video filmmaking that will be the predominant future for photography in general?

my view is that introducing video capability in cameras was the start of over complication of the hobby as just a small percentage of users need or want it . oh for the good old days of a pure camera for just taking photos on

It begs the question to the old adage, jack of all trades master of none! Why would you want a super photographer to bend his art and try to do video. Or vice versa! Modern photojournalists are meant to provide stills and video coverage as well as voice reports. This save news networks money but in reality we now get bland, stilted reports that lack great photos or incisive video with poor verbal/vocal content. Also the desire to get into news by the public has led to the gifting of great images to the news channels with no reward to the photographer! In the past even local newspapers would give a by-line and payment. Now the large news channels just gobble up the content with no payments and no by-line.
