The development of the Nikon D4 successor could be announced at CES next week

Nikon-D4-dark

Update: the D4s development is now officially announced.

Digicame-info reports that Nikon may announce the development of the D4 successor next week during the 2014 CES show in Las Vegas (in addition to the two lenses and D3300). The official announcement will be in February and shipment will start in March – this is pretty much in line with what I have been reporting for the past few weeks. Nikon must have some kind of an official announcement before the Olympics, since many photographers will probably be using the new camera at the games.

This is the behind the scenes story about the shot “Brazilian Aquathlon” by Wagner Araujo (www.waguinhoa.com.br) that won the first prize at the 2013 National Geographic Travel Photo Contest:

I’m a professional photographer form Brazil and also editor of the main Triathlon website and online magazine in Brazil: www.mundotri.com.br I live at the airport. No, just kidding. When I’m not traveling, I live in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais in Brazil. A 2million people city and state capital, close to some historical places like Ouro Preto and Mariana. We also hold one of the main open nature museums in the World: Inhotim. As I said, I’m a triathlete/cyclist/runner (no, I’m not a swimmer, my swimming skills are poor!). I use to cover Triathlon race most of the time and also some great cycling races. I love traveling all around the world.
