A quick update before we continue with the D4s coverage: I was told that the law firm Zimmerman & Reed PLLP has already filed a class action lawsuit in California federal court for the Nikon D600 dust/oil spot issue on February 19th, 2014.
Update: here is another Nikon D600 lawsuit.
Moose Peterson (Nikon ambassador) also thinks the Nikon D4s will be announced tonight because I just saw the above blog entry in my RSS feed. The blog post is now of course removed (http://www.moosepeterson.com/blog/2014/02/24/d4s-annoucnement/) but Google cache will probably have it available online shortly.
For the past two months I have been reporting that the Nikon D4s will be 16MP (see this and this posts) and today I received a dozen of emails from readers asking me the very same question. If you are still believing the 24MP hype, you should seriously reconsider the websites where your are getting your Nikon news and rumors. I have also said that if the D4s is 24MP, I will shut down this website for good. Stay tuned for detailed coverage – everything should start around midnight EST (5am GMT).
If the latest rumors are correct, the D4s should be announced in a few hours (around midnight tonight EST or early morning GMT on February 25th). Above are the official press release images of the Nikon D4s camera taken from an online retailer’s website. More D4s Instagram pictures can be found here, here and here. Nikon USA is already advertising the D4s on Google (link not active yet: www.nikonusa.com/NewD4S):
→ The Nikon 1 AW1 and Coolpix A cameras received the 2014 iF product design award.
→ Nikon 1 J1 camera kits are still on sale.
→ The first Nikon D3300 books are out.
→ New: Nikon Df CheatSheet/laminated instructions.
→ A reader painted his beloved Nikon D90 camera in snow camo.
→ New Nikon Experience website.
Alfredo Fernández (Web | Facebook | Flickr) will share some of his wildlife photography tips and photos:
Wildlife photography is one of the most popular fields within photography. I have yet to meet a photographer who does not enjoy driving around National Parks in search of breath-taking landscapes or elusive wildlife. A quick look at any photography forum will show several hundred if not thousand posts regarding nature. Yet, all of these photos mostly look really similar, if not the same. I feel that nature photography has become –to some degree- monotonous. 90% of bird shots are really similar. A nice bird perched on a nice branch with a clean background. Don’t get me wrong, I like this kind of images, and even shoot some myself, but I feel these images have no history behind, they get uninteresting and boring after a while.
So, today I want to share some tips to improve your nature photographer and create different images.
