Camera Overview — Z-Cam E2-F8

The Z-Cam E2-F8 is a full-frame cinema camera built around a 61 MP full-frame (35mm) sensor capable of capturing video at up to 8K maximum resolution. Designed for professional video production in a compact aluminum alloy body measuring 91 x 99 x 122 mm and weighing 1,330 g, the E2-F8 offers a serious feature set in a relatively portable form factor. It records in a range of color profiles including ZRAW, Z-Log2, Rec.709, and ProRes RAW, giving colorists and cinematographers meaningful flexibility in post-production.

Video is captured at 12-bit color depth, and the camera supports a wide array of frame rates spanning 23.976fps through 120fps. The Canon EF lens mount opens the camera to a broad ecosystem of optics. Storage is handled via CFast media.

The E2-F8 includes built-in Wi-Fi connectivity, a USB-C port, and HDMI 2.0 output for monitoring, alongside both a 3.5mm microphone jack and a 3.5mm headphone jack for on-set audio monitoring. ISO sensitivity runs from 400 to 102400. The camera draws power from Sony NP-F series batteries.

No in-body or digital image stabilization is present, and the body carries no weather sealing, which are practical considerations for any production environment.
