Unfortunately, they did not and when I asked the employee […]

Why Nikon D3xs?

By [NR] admin | Published: May 18, 2010

I received those pictures two days ago and decided not post them online because I did not see any convincing evidence that the pictured camera is a Nikon D3xs – it could be any of the D3-D3x-D3s line with black tape over the logo and model.

Michel Lammerse has a picture on his pbase stream that is labeled “cropmode, 85mm f/2.2 VR ON”: I cannot think of an existing Nikon lens with 85mm focal length, f/2.2 and VR. In the […]

By [NR] admin | Published: May 15, 2010

Update: the ISO 3200 is not the maximum value but rather a comment from the photographer that ISO 3200 was very usable.

Clarification

By [NR] admin | Published: May 14, 2010

Some readers misunderstood my last post on the Nikon D4000 and the Nikon D90 refresh. The rumor I wrote about a month ago (indicating that 3 new Nikon DSLRs are in the pipeline) came from a different source. The information I receive is never complete and often I only get bits and pieces of the whole […]
