Working cable for the Nikon NX MobileAir app

By [NR] admin | Published: September 12, 2023

Working cable for the Nikon NX MobileAir app: Anker has discontinued the cable Nikon requires for the app (Anker 514). That cable supposedly has a special chip and normal cables would not work. This AGVEE cable seemed to be working based on the information I received from readers and it’s cheap ($17).

It seems that many readers (myself included) did not get one detail in the latest Nikon USA rebates (or that promotion was added later): if you buy more than one qualifying lens, you get an additional bonus discount/bundle savings.

Check out this new B&H Photo site that makes it easier to understand the new rebates and the added bonus/bundle savings – just add the lenses you want and you can see the final discount in your cart (please note that some lenses are sold out already):

Direct links to all qualifying lenses for the BONUS Z-Series promotion can be found here (the rebates are set to expire on September 17th):

Today only: the Delkin Devices 325GB BLACK CFexpress Type B memory card is $225 off (more than half off):

The Nikon Zf camera could be announced on September 20th

By [NR] admin | Published: September 11, 2023

I have been reporting on the upcoming Nikon Zf retro-inspired full-frame mirrorless camera for several months now, including multiple leaked pictures and specifications.

The Nikon Zf was supposed to be announced back in August, but I assume the latest Nikon Z8 recalls delayed the introduction of the new camera. I still can’t confirm the official announcement date, but if you believe Camerainsider, the Nikon Zf should be officially announced on September 20th. I have to remind you that Camerainsider does not have a good track record when it comes to Nikon gear (they seem to be spot on for the latest Tamron announcements).

In case you missed them – here are the latest updated rumored Nikon Zf full-frame retro mirrorless camera specifications:
