Quietly, and under the radar, Z CAM has introduced the Z CAM E2-F6 Pro Full-Frame Cinema Camera with a 5″ Touchscreen Monitor. Besides the price, which is $4,000, details are barely known. This is what we know so far.
Z CAM E2-F6 Pro
With no official announcement by Z CAM, besides very superficial posts on its social channels, the Z CAM E2-F6 Pro was announced. At the first sight, it looks like a similar camera compared to the first E2-F6 model. However, when looking carefully, differences are noticed. The Z CAM E2-F6 Pro looks like a new camera by Z CAM. The Original F6 has other buttons on the left side. Explore the slide below that demonstrates the differences.
Key Features
The key features of the Z CAM E2-F6 Pro are:
- Full-Frame CMOS Sensor, up to 6K60 Video
- Interchangeable Canon EF Lens Mount
- Detachable 5″ Touchscreen Monitor
- 12G-SDI and HDMI Outputs
- 15 Stops Dynamic Range/10-Bit Encoder
- Integrated V-Mount Plate
- 4 x User-Assignable Buttons
- Genlock and Timecode Support
Basically, it seems like a bit more user-friendly version of the original E2-F6, but with a dedicated touch screen/interface which is great.
Price and availability of the Z CAM E2-F6 Pro
For now, only a page on B&H has been established where you can preorder the camera. The price is $4,000 including the 5″ Touchscreen Monitor (Explore the Product List at the end of the article).
A cinema camera per se
We love Z CAM, particularly the Z CAM E2-F6 model, which was heavily utilized on Mission Impossible 7. Make sure to read our article: Z CAM E2-F6 Paired With IMAX Cameras in Mission Impossible 7. The camera was used as one of the main cameras in the movie, and not just as a stunt camera. It’s worth mentioning that this film is going to be screened on IMAX.
