Update: the lens only rebates are now live.
Good news: the Nikon US “lens only” rebates are coming back! I do not have the details, but the savings should be similar to last year’s rebates (no need to purchase a Nikon DSLR body in order to qualify. The program is not yet available online. Check back on NikonRumors this weekend for more details.
Update: This press event was be for the Coolpix cameras that were announced on February 6th in the US.
According to the invitation pictured above, Nikon have scheduled a press conference for February 11th, 2014 (next Tuesday). The CP+ show in Japan starts on February 13 and Nikon is expected to announce several new products.
The UK magazine Amateur Photographer published what appears to be the first press image of the Nikon D4s camera on their front cover (all other D4s pictures were from CES):
B&H is currently selling the Nikon Coolpix P330 compact camera for $196.95 (available also in white) which is almost half of its original price ($376.95):
The P330 was the first model in that product line to have NRW/RAW support – detailed specifications and sample images can be found here.
I already mentioned that Nikon will most likely replace the P330 at the upcoming CP+ show.
Nikon Capture NX 2.4.6 ($139) is now available for download. The new version includes D3300 support and improved White Balance. Download links:

Discussion of the Petzval Lens

He eventually struck out on his own as a lens maker. Large format photographers seek out and treasure the original Petzval lens.
