The top label reads something like “Nikon starts with new products in Spring”, I think “products” is in plural (Produktneuheiten): Einladung zum Nikon Pressefrühstück Nikon stellt vor: Nikon […]

Nikon D90 with Nikon Media Port UP300x combo – the future of photography?

By [NR] admin | Published: March 28, 2009
