Camera World Explodes: 48-Hour Blitz of New Cameras, Lenses, and Shocking Industry Moves (Sept 9–10, 2025)

Nikon stole headlines by unveiling the Nikon ZR, its first-ever digital cinema camera, on September 10. Nikon teamed up with RED Digital Cinema to infuse the ZR with true Hollywood DNA – even co-branding it with RED’s logo.

Notably, the ZR is the industry’s first mirrorless camera with internal 32-bit float audio recording, allowing extreme dynamic range in sound capture without manual gain riding. It forgoes an EVF in favor of a huge 4-inch, 1000-nit rear display, and it’s designed in a boxy, modular form factor ideal for gimbals and rigs dpreview.com dpreview.com.

Camera World Ignites with New Gear, Industry Shake-Ups, and Bold Rumors (Sept 5–6, 2025)

Nikon faced an embarrassing hiccup with its new Authenticity Service for the Z6 III.

In other words, the Z6 III could be tricked into “authenticating” content it hadn’t actually captured. This loophole undermines the whole point of Nikon’s content credentials feature, which was meant to bolster trust in photos’ provenance. In response, Nikon swiftly suspended the authenticity signing service for the Z6 III while its engineers rush to patch the vulnerability petapixel.com petapixel.com. “The service has been temporarily suspended while we work diligently to resolve the issue,” Nikon announced, apologizing for the inconvenience petapixel.com.
