Camera Overview — Z-Cam E2-S6

The Z-Cam E2-S6 is a Super 35mm cinema camera built around a 26MP sensor capable of capturing up to 6K resolution video. Designed for professional filmmakers, it offers a versatile range of frame rates spanning 24fps through 120fps, with 10-bit recording and a solid selection of color profiles including Z-Log2, Rec.709, FLAT, HLG, and support for Custom LUTs — giving colorists meaningful latitude in post-production. The camera uses a Canon EF lens mount, opening it up to a wide ecosystem of glass, and records to both CFast and SD media for flexible on-set workflows.

Connectivity is well-considered for a camera of this size: Full HDMI output, 3.5mm headphone and microphone jacks, USB-C, and built-in WiFi are all on board. The body is constructed from aluminum alloy and measures 122 x 99 x 91 mm, weighing 1.21 kg — compact enough for handheld rigs and gimbal setups. Power comes from the widely available Sony NP-F series batteries, with approximately 1–2 hours of runtime on an NP-F970.

ISO range runs from 400 to 12800. It is worth noting the camera relies entirely on manual focus, with no autofocus system present, and carries no weather sealing.
