• Ever heard of Nikon C mount or Nikon DS digital cameras? Yes, it does exists: Nikon just announced a SMZ-745T trinocular stereo microscope that comes equipped with a built-in 0.55x c-mount adapter permitting direct mounting of Nikon DS series digital cameras. The cameras looks like that:

• Nikon D90 is rated #1 by Consumer Report (December, 2009 issue), followed by Olympus E30 and Canon EOS Rebel T1i.
• Nikon’s net loss on camera unit smaller than previously projected
• The name of the Metris (the company Nikon acquired recently) will change to Nikon Metrology NV (source). Metrology=the science of measurement.
• Video of Prince shooting with a D700 (screen capture available here). Maybe I should do a “Celebrities and their Nikons” post, similar to “Celebrities and their Leicas”.
