Today’s guest post on Cuba is by Nemanja Rakic (Website | Facebook):
If you wanted a proper break from the rest of the world, Cuba is the place. WiFi is non existent. The dial up internet available is only supported in a few hotels and the computers are still using Windows 98. No more Facebook, gmail, twitter and other social media. Its just you now and whatever is waiting for you out that door.
The price of a grey market Nikon D800 camera dropped another $100 to $2,099.99 on eBay (limited quantity available, free shipping, no US warranty – instead you will receive 1 year warranty from the BigValueInc store, see all of their Nikon listings).
First, a quick note: I will have limited Internet connectivity for the next week or so. I have scheduled several guest posts and will jump online when possible. Enjoy your holidays!
→ Nikon 1 J1 camera with 10-30mm lens listed for $219 (includes Nikon leather body case). The Nikon 1 J3 can still be found for $296.95.

After the announcement of the SB-300 ($146.95), the Nikon SB-400 Speedlight flash is already listed as discontinued at B&H. If you need to get one, Amazon still has them in stock via third party resellers. The SB-400 is also listed as discontinued on the official Nikon Imaging website:
Amazon Germany and Amazon UK currently have a listing for a Just EasyCover Silicone Skin for Nikon V3 (JU0467). Unless this is an error, the design shows that the new Nikon 1 V3 camera will not have a grip (the V1 also did not have a grip, but the V2 did). The in stock date is listed as January 2, 2014. Nikon is expected to have multiple product announcements around January 7th and in early February 2014.
Update: this Amazon listings is probably a mistake since similar cases for Nikon 1 J3 are listed on eBay.

I am a French engineer, I grew up in front on the Atlantic Ocean in Brittany. It is a really beautiful place with amazing landscapes (and food). I was playing with the Minolta camera of my dad when I was a kid but I mainly learned everything I know about photography during the last 2 years after moving to Canada. I had the chance to come and live in Ottawa with enough free time to visit a lot of Canadian areas and the United States. I came in June 2011 with a D700 and 24-70 + 14-24 that I just bought. It’s my first full frame camera, I was using a D300 before it for 2 years. This equipment followed me everywhere during my north american adventure (and when I go back to Europe). It is heavy but I’m young and I don’t spend my money to leave my camera at home.
