I Got this from Nikon Australia – lets all just relax a bit…..
………………………………………………………..
This is an exclusive Nikon Christmas event for select professional retailers, journalists and photographers who have assisted Nikon throughout the year.

We intend to thank our key retailers for their efforts throughout 2008 and highlight our ongoing successes.

Any inference of something other than this is pure speculation.

I disagree. I say film is optical. The image is actually present. Not represented.

the flash that is rumoured is an sb700 to replace the sb600. that was the opinion of ECS prior to them pulling down the other blog entry for the cheeky new version.

I don’t think so. It wouldn’t make sense to bring out a new flash right after releasing a new video of the CLS.

I believe that the poster of the above rant is refering the the fact that there have been analogue electronic cameras (electronic, but NOT digital)

Scientifically the term analogue refers to a medium being able to map the transition from one state to another in a “non stepped” manner. The term analogue does NOT require an electronic system.

An 8bit B&W tiff has 256 steps (or levels) from black to white available to be used for any given pixel. The stepped nature of this is a requirement of digital. An analogue ELECTRONIC image would be completey variable in transition from black to white, limited only by the recording or viewing medium and the quality of the circuitry.

To Mr 2 PHD’s: I suggest you take a quiet look at the chemestry of film and the ways that grain and or dye clouds work, they DO in fact work in an analogue (non stepped) manner. Remember, the term analogue does NOT require an electronic system.

Or the whole Dec 1st thing is just a big PRANK, like BIG itself (MF Nikon, really?).

I think the comment on that australian site are poking fun at the fact that NOTHING was announced at the much hyped 20-11 date.

as in:

It is past 20-11 now, no new camera, no new lens, what new flash? Nothing new/

That’s all, I think.

Dweebs! who needs an expensive digital camera and memory cards and a 3 thousand dollar computer? I use an $13 film camera and velvia 50 and get my stuff scanned at 100 megapixels. Then I open the files on my computer and…oh

Film is to analog as nikon is to film, get it? Jeez. Also, why are you guys sitting here reading this? You should all be in yosemite taking pictures. Tell your boss you banged his wife, get fired, and snap some shots. that’s what I do. My wife once returned a house

That’s true. The color of Ryan’s forehead warms up the light, similar to what a 1/2 CTO gel would do.

I feel sorry for all the nerds who pixel peep. I take pictures. No. I MAKE pictures. and a website. all day.

I heard the new d3x is going to have the groundbreaking viewfinder of the fuji disposible cameras. Seriously, this is all you need to take pictures of baby ryan, maybe bounce an sb400 off his forehead for some fill

Sooo… why exactly can’t film be considered analog?

You forgot to mention that anyone who is anyone is switching back to film, and that shooting JPEGs gives better quality than RAW, and that you’re so busy shooting 10,000 shots a day that you couldn’t possibly have time to deal with RAW.

With the number of readers we have, this is expected – so I do not pay much attention to such comments. I am actually surprised that we do not get more of those, which means that we are really doing a good job.
