Nikon-Coolpix-P7100-camera

Nikon released firmware update 1.1 for the Nikon Coolpix P7100 compact camera. This comes as a surprise to me, since the P7100 has been discontinued (and replaced by the P7700) for a while and Nikon is not big on releasing firmware updates for older products. Here is the list of modifications:

To be announce soon: Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 18–140mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR lens

By [NR] admin | Published: August 5, 2013

Nikon will soon announce a new NIKKOR AF-S DX 18–140mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR lens. Expect the official news in the next 2-3 weeks (could be as early as tomorrow). Obviously this new 18–140mm is intended to be sold as a kit lens. The big question is: kit lens to what? The D3200 and D5200 are pretty new for a replacement and I doubt this will be the kit lens for the D400. Stay tuned for more info. It has begun.
