Unfortunately, the signs are pointing to Nikon continuing to be struggling to turn profitable. This hurts sales to large buyers who are careful if they think a company may be unstable. It might be just a little nudge that results in a order going to a competitor.

Actually try not to be online. It’ll do you good.

I read a quote about someone who reads books when travelling. “That’s like going a thousand miles without moving an inch.”

Explore new territories to recharge self, even if it’s not depleting anytime soon. A quick recharge never hurts.

>> “Nikon and Fujitsu will establish a joint company named “Nikon Imaging Systems”. The company will be responsible for the firmware development in Nikon digital cameras”

[Groan....] Some of the worst crap to ever come out of Japan has been from Fujitsu. Perhaps I’ve just had bad luck, or they are better now. I have made it a point to stay far away from anything associated with Fujitsu.

Am I wrong about them or have other had issues with Fujitsu?

I will still be online – it all depends on the AT&T coverage of Yosemite.

I don’t understand how the funding for the new company can only be 95 million yen and have 100 employees. Isn’t 95 million yen just 1 million dollars?

D5000 cashback already? Weird…
It’s a shame about canceling the Solutions Expo. I was there last year in London, and I got to play around with a lot of incredible setups, that I wouldn’t be able otherwise:
- My D40 with a 200mm f/2 VR. That lens is sharp, big and heavy! And the bokeh, oh god, the “creaminess”.. My D40 simply disappeared behind it… I laughed when another guy approached me and was like: “What the heck is that??!??”. Hehehe.
- A D3x with 85mm PC-E, playing around with focus plane tilt.
- A D700 with a 70-200 VR; That’s a heavy, solid combo.
- A D3 with a 500mm VR. I felt like a terrorist with a RPG launcher.
- Lots of photographer’s talks
- A great Nikon tech seminar, talking about the “letter technologies” (N,G,VR,etc) where I got to make a Nikon tech guy scratch his head when I asked him about Focal Length-dependent minimum shutter speed in Auto-ISO. The guy was like: “Eeewww… Yeah, that would be cool! I’ll report that back!” Lol….
