Nikon press conference scheduled for February 3rd, 2010

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

Nikon press conference is scheduled for February 3rd, 2010 – I am saying this with 100% confidence. As I mention before, this time I will not specify the country and location. This date also matches with the expected release of new Coolpix cameras on February 2nd. In the past Nikon has not scheduled press conferences for […]

New Nikon Coolpix cameras on February 2nd

By [NR] admin | Published: January 17, 2010

I know many readers here do not care about Coolpix cameras. I expect that Nikon will deliver at least one unique and innovative point and shoot camera – maybe built-in GPS, email, etc. – they have filed multiple patents applications in this area. The interesting part of this announcement will be the high end Coolpix […]

Your next Coolpix may be sending/receiving emails (Nikon patent)

By [NR] admin | Published: December 11, 2009

Update: Similar camera to the one described in this patent is just to be announced by Samsung. According to patent applications 20090307322 Nikon is thinking about integrating an email client into a point and shoot camera: “A digital camera comprises an image-capturing unit that captures an image of a photographic subject and acquires image data, a […]

What to expect from Nikon next week

By [NR] admin | Published: October 10, 2009

UPDATE: Nikon Germany and Nikon Sweden websites are/were down today. The “Presse” link has some serious errors on nikon.de & nikon.se. Same on nikon-europe.com. Problems with the new press release(s)? Nikon D3s should be a sure thing. This is a collection of the rumored Nikon D3s specs: ISO 200-12800 New ISO range HI-3 at 102,400 ISO […]

It seems that Nikon will announce a camera similar to Leica X1

By [NR] admin | Published: October 6, 2009

UPDATE: when I use the phrase an “X1 clone” I just mean to say a compact camera with a CMOS sensor, the X1 is just used as a reference. Do not expect to get the exact same Leica X1 camera with a Nikon logo for a half price. If Nikon does release something like that, […]

There will be another camera announced, but not Nikon D700x/D700s

By [NR] admin | Published: October 2, 2009

I have no reliable information that Nikon will release a D700s/D700x camera on October 15 (the actual release date may vary +/- one day based on your location). It also doesn’t make sense to release two PRO level cameras at the same time – I know, D3 was announced with the D300 two years ago […]

Nikon to announce APS-C sized sensor compact camera similar to Leica X1?

By [NR] admin | Published: September 15, 2009

Update: Nikon Singapore response: “based on the current outlook, we do not foresee a similar product range as the Leica X1.” I did not expect a different answer, did you? The new Leica X1 has a 12.9MP Sony based APS-C sensor. The interesting part here is that at the Leica Singapore event Sunil Kaul, (Regional […]
