Yeah I keep forgetting how dumb the micro HDMI thing is, I'm pretty sure big productions just have tons of those damn things, but I do wish they didn't put that in this camera. I guess this is some sort of test bed intro camera and the version two will basically be what this camera should've been. Also the more I'm looking at Nikon's marketing for this it's not a big production house camera. This is basically them taking on the Blackmagic demographic I would think.

In my experience, micro-HDMI can fail even when securely clamped, even without being touched. There's a good reason why it's a non-starter for big productions. It's basically a ticking time-bomb.
One can tolerate it for personal projects, but step into a larger gig and you're jeopardizing everyone's work. Not a good look, professionally.
This clearly leaves room for a 4,000+ US$ camera based on Z9II technology that will bridge the gap btwn the ZR and the Kodomo X.
