Nikon D850 listed as discontinued at B&H (*UPDATED*)

By [NR] admin | Published: August 8, 2021


Last night B&H Photo sent out emails to waiting customers indicating that the Nikon D850 is now discontinued:


The Nikon D850 is completely removed from the B&H online store (updater: the D850 is listed again). Adorama lists the D850 on backorder. Amazon has a few D850 in stock but they are from third party resellers or gray market. The official Nikon Japan website does not list the Nikon D850 as discontinued.

UPDATE: I can now confirm that the Nikon D850 is not discontinued. As I already mentioned, B&H automatically marks products as discontinued if they are out of stock for a long time:

How to: on demand backup „The One-Card-Slot (No-) Issue“ (one memory card slot backup solution)

By [NR] admin | Published: August 7, 2021

How to: on demand backup „The One-Card-Slot (No-) Issue“

Some words ahead:

I’m a snap-shooter (Knipser in german) since the 1990s. During the time, I shoot from film up to digital cameras with different brands.

Disclaimer:

I’m not a paid person by any of the companies given below. All names, brands and ikons are owned by their owners and are used for illustration only.

The story:

Some time ago a cry of horror went through the country —

— Ahhh, Ohhh, Uhhh – one Card-Slot only.

Hm – maybe that is scary to someone, but it was not frightening me. Since I am a snap-shooter, most of my camera bodies have had one storage element only. I mostly use small storage because impact by an accident is not very much. It is no problem with that one card-slot thing to me, at all. But – then Nikon managed to get Wi-Fi to be useful and SnapBridge became better and better.

I’am using a NAS and Smart-Devices – could I use this for On-Demand- or Online-Backup? I don’t use some Cloud because it is expensive to me and free storage is mostly very limited, but I’m running a NAS. I have an Idea.

Mhh, lets see how to put things together …
