Nikon AF-S 85mm f/1.4 VR

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

Update: the picture was removed aprox. 3 hours after I published this post. The picture did not contain any EXIF data. 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 […]

Nikon D500 rumor from Russia

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

There was no information provided about a potential D700 replacement. There is a lot of chatter on the Internet that the D700 […]

Nikon sales by product: past (2010) vs. estimated (2011)

By [NR] admin | Published: May 12, 2010

Those are the “Sales by product” charts for Nikon’s financial year that just ended and the estimated numbers for the next year (March 2010 vs March 2011): Update: the percentage graph could be misleading – here are the actual numbers (March 2010/March 2011): I/L stays for Interchangeable Lenses, SLR-DSC is for SLR/DSLR and C-DSC stays for compact cameras. This […]

Nikon D4000

By [NR] admin | Published: May 11, 2010

D4000 The rumor is that one of the Nikon DSLRs to be released this year will be falling in between the D3000 and D5000 models. I am not sure what this will mean in terms of features/specifications, but I think the model will be called D4000. [NR] probability rating: 50%
