Nikon’s Z Cameras Are Changing the Video Game

Featured Tuesday, 27 January 2026 03:21

The bridge between casual user, advanced and professional cinema videographer has never been so strong.

I've already updated the Z Setup Guide: https://learn.mattgranger.com/courses/zsetup

Check out the new firmware: https://geni.us/ZRv11

Nikon RED Range: https://geni.us/RED-ZED

In this video I walk through the Nikon Z6III, Z8, Z9, the video‑focused ZR, and the RED Komodo‑X in Z‑mount. Together they show how Nikon has built a system that scales from hybrid creators to full cinema production. Canon and Sony are no longer the only names in video — Nikon Z is now a serious player. I also cover the latest ZR firmware update v1.1, which adds new features and expands Nikon’s cinema options.
