Nikon D3 – the camera of choice for this 3 years old boy

[NR] admin — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 06:23:06 +0000

This 3 years old boy doesn't need the newly released Coolpix S30 - he is shooting with the Nikon D3!

Thanks @RickWilks

This is why you should not buy your camera at Target

Today Nikon posted this on their Facebook page:

"A photographer is only as good as the equipment he uses, and a good lens is essential to taking good pictures! Do any of our facebook fans use any of the NIKKOR lenses? Which is your favorite and what types of situations do you use it for?"

Nikon to introduce new NIKKORNER product line

Together with the D5100, Nikon will also introduce a revolutionary new brand called NIKKORNER which will include products from the Imaging and Sports Optics divisions. In the Imaging division, Nikon will be announcing a new lens that can take pictures around corners and protect photojournalists when working in dangerous areas. The lens will be available also in camouflage pattern/colors.

In the Sport Optics division, Nikon will introduce a new riflescope, specially designed for the CornerShot weapon system, that will eliminate the need of the LCD screen (currently embedded in all CornerShot products). The main complains of the CS-APR 5.56 rifle has been short battery life, low resolution and ISO performance and with the new NIKKORNER optics those problems will be solved.

Here is a brief demo of CornerShot weapons in action:

Update: few months ago MIT created a camera that can produce an image of an object that is not directly visible.

Hitler is not happy with the Nikon D7000 shipment schedule

Hitler rant videos are always fun, especially when they mention NikonRumors (this is one was done by the same guys who created the Nikon lenses iPhone app, warning: graphic language):

Nikon Q – a hoax?

Update: the original car photo can be found here. It's a Lexus LF-A. The weirdest thing is that this car is.... mirrorless... look at the pictures, there are no mirrors whatsoever.

Unless you can make any sense of the fourth picture I received today, I say this whole "Nikon Q" thing is a hoax:

I am filing this under the humor rumor section: the new Nikon car

This is hilarious!

Much better deal on that Nikon lens coffee mug

The first time I wrote about the Nikon lens coffee mug, the prices on eBay were too high. Now you can get it for $23 here (plus $6 shipping and handling):

When Canon came up with their coffee mugs during the last Winter Olympics, I thought for a moment that they may really have better stuff than Nikon. Today I got my faith back - the Nikon AF-S 24-70mm f/2.8 coffee mug is "now available for pre-order" on eBay

But wait, there is more - for all you caffeine addicts: the Nikon Lens AF-S 70-200mm f/2.8G ED VR II Coffee Cup is also available:

If you don't know what is this all about - check NikonRumors twitter page (update: here is the direct link). This is not important enough to be discussed on NikonRumors, but I had to make a statement: I LOVE MONGOLIA! I LOVE OUTER MONGOLIA TOO!

Remember the Nikon MX rumors from last year? Some Chinese forum now claims that the M stands for Micro and the new MX camera will have:

24.8mp full frame sensor
1080p video at 24fps, 30fps or 60fps
100% optical viewfinder
Nikkor 10-70mm f/1.2 lens

Nikon rumors I didn’t post

I got this idea from a reader and from Gizmodo - once a month, (just for fun) I will list some of the Nikon rumors that did not make the cut. So, here we go:

Nikon 24-65 2.0G: there was a listing on craiglist with the a picture from Japanese magazine cover talking about a new Nikon 24-65 2.0G (source). I did not see the magazine cover. Does anyone has a copy of this picture/magazine?
Picture taken with Nikon D300s? I don't think so. Maybe the photographer has multiple D300s.
Accessories for Nikon flash SB-700. Probably a typo.
Nikon D300s manual leak: I got this screenshot of a leaked Nikon D300s manual. I think this is a simple HTML manipulation. If this leak was true, the tipster would have sent me the actual manual.

Another Nikon ad in the shooting? This picture was taken in Tokyo last month and sent to me by a reader. I cannot see what camera is the model holding (hi-res image available here):
