A german photo store is currently having a contest where the second prize is (translation from the pdf document): Nikon DSLR D-X00 (D300 replacement)
The end date for this contest is October 22nd, 2009. Nikon better hurries up with the D300 replacement, otherwise the second prize winner of this contest will be disappointed…
I read about Scot Kelby’s trip to Tuscany and how he had to buy a Nikon D5000 because he forgot his D300 in a hotel room. Long story short: he deiced to sell his Nikon D300 after he got the D5000. So far nothing out of the ordinary.
Then a reader contacted me today with a tip that Terry White is also selling his Nikon D300 – he announced that on his twitter page two days ago (here is the actual D300 listing on eBay).
Coincidence? Probably – I will let you decide. Scott Kelby and Terry White are members of NAPP (National Association of Photoshop Professionals). Scott Kelby is also one of the hosts of dtowntv, which is sponsored by Nikon.
Anybody else selling their D300 in order to get the anticipated D300s?
The DSLR Camera Remote iPhone app post got more negative than positive votes (this is the second topic with more neg than pos I believe), so I decided to write about it again and maybe convince some readers that this is not such a bad idea. Here are some videos that will explain how this whole thing exactly works:
Remember the wireless USB solution for Nikon DSLR? It will be a good solution for the shooting shown in the next video:
but wait, there is more…
There is another iPhone app by kentidwell.net that will allow you to control your Nikon DSLR remotely from your iPhone or touch: MUG Nikon iLive (currently pending approval in the Apple store). From the same guy(s) you can get also Nikon guides for your iPhone: MIn-U Guide: for D3, D300, D5000, D40, D90. Min-U Guides are organized in the same manner as Nikon® DSLR camera control menus and cost $1.99 each.
Min-U Guides for Nikon DSLR cameras include: • Active D-Lighting • ADL Bracketing • AF Area Modes • AE Lock • AF Assist • Available Shutter Speeds with Flash • AF Focus Area Selection • Control Panel reference • AF Focus Modes • Custom Settings • Auto Low-Pass • Dust Reference Photo Filter (Sensor) Cleaning • Exposure Bracketing • Battery Information • Exposure Compensation • Color Spaces • Exposure Modes • File Numbering Options • Flash Exposure Compensation • Focus Lock • Flash Modes • High-ISO Noise Reduction • Flash Output (FV) Lock • Image Quality • Flash Sync Modes • Image Size • Image Overlays • LCD Brightness • Image Playback • Long Exposure Noise Reduction • ISO Equivalency • Manual Focus • Live View • Memory Card Formatting • Manual Low-Pass Filter (Sensor) Cleaning • Menu Reset • Max Flash Shooting Distances • Metering Modes • Multiple Exposures • Movies • Playback Options • Picture Control • Scene Modes • Reset to defaults • Viewfinder Reference • Self-Timer • White Balance Bracketing • Shooting Modes • White Balance Options
I hope to get more “likes” this time 🙂
DSLR Camera Remote app for iPhone (v1.1) adds several improvements, including Nikon DSLR support. Expected release date: mid-July, 2009.
Previous post on the same topic.
Note: in order for this app to work, the camera must be tethered to a computer.
I got this idea from a reader and from Gizmodo – once a month, (just for fun) I will list some of the Nikon rumors that did not make the cut. So, here we go:

… July 30th and August 4th. Double whammy? Maybe D300s on July 30 and D4000 on August 4th (300->3, 4000->4). Stay tuned – I am sure I will be getting more confirmations from around the world in the next few days.
This news comes from Nikon Nordic and the event will be held in Stockholm, Sweden.
The above lenses are all gray market (one lens is a demo?).
