Nikon has long been a pillar of still photography. The company built a reputation on optical fidelity, robust bodies, and a culture of consistency that professionals trust. Cinema was a different arena. For decades that space belonged to ARRI at the prestige tier, with Sony and Canon competing across broadcast, documentary, and high end digital production. When Nikon acquired RED, it was a statement that Nikon intends to participate in cinema at a serious level. A year into this new chapter we can observe the first outcomes. RED has introduced V RAPTOR X and KOMODO X variants with native Z mount.
