Introduction

Working cable for the Nikon NX MobileAir app

By [NR] admin | Published: September 12, 2023


Working cable for the Nikon NX MobileAir app: Anker has discontinued the cable Nikon requires for the app (Anker 514). That cable supposedly has a special chip and normal cables would not work.  This AGVEE cable seemed to be working based on the information I received from readers and it’s cheap ($17).

The Nikon Zf camera could be announced on September 20th

By [NR] admin | Published: September 11, 2023

I have been reporting on the upcoming Nikon Zf retro-inspired full-frame mirrorless camera for several months now, including multiple leaked pictures and specifications.

The Nikon Zf was supposed to be announced back in August, but I assume the latest Nikon Z8 recalls delayed the introduction of the new camera. I still can’t confirm the official announcement date, but if you believe Camerainsider, the Nikon Zf should be officially announced on September 20th.
