The next new entry level Nikon DSLR (D5000?)

By [NR] admin | Published: April 5, 2009

We now have the first picture of what could be the next entry level Nikon DSLR with a swivel display (D5000 or D500?).

In addition we should see 12-15 mpixels, video mode but not full HD. The date? April 14.

I don’t really have an April fools’ day joke

By [NR] admin | Published: March 31, 2009

We had enough of those already on this blog, so I will take the day off tomorrow. If you really insist, check out the new Nikon D4.1. And don’t send me any tips on April 1st, I will not take them seriously 😉

Tension build up

By [NR] admin | Published: March 31, 2009

After receiving few more tips, I can now clarify the initial Nikon press conference date confusion – the April 16th date will be only for China (I guess 4.14 will not be well accepted in Chinese culture). For the rest of the world the date remains April 14th.

In the meantime Nikon UK is out of D300 and D80 brochures (source, send by a reader):

Nikon Capture NX 2.2 available for download (Europe)

By [NR] admin | Published: March 31, 2009

Update: I started a forum discussion about the potential issues/bugs with the latest version of Capture NX.

Nikon Capture NX 2.2 now available for download in the US & Canada:

I guess Nikon could not wait till April as previously announced and they released the Nikon Capture NX 2.2 (Win link) update today in Europe (Mac link available here).

A new version Camera Control Pro 2.4.0 is also available for download.

Next, I will check if there are any traces of new bodies or lenses in Capture NX.

Yep, it is April 14

This is the press invitation for the Austria Nikon Event on April 14 – no need for translation, the date is important (I removed all names & emails). The top label reads something like “Nikon starts with new products in Spring”, I think “products” is in plural (Produktneuheiten):
