The Nikon MB-N10 battery pack for the Z6/Z7 cameras will be officially released soon. The grip will be similar to old Nikon and Canon grip designs where the grip goes inside the battery compartment instead of the battery. Batteries will be inserted from opposite ends of the grip in order to allow their seamless replacement. The Nikon Z6/Z7 battery grip will not add a second memory card, it will only extend the battery life.
The Nikon MB-N10 battery pack for Nikon Z cameras was already registered in Korea.
Nikon made a prototype camera for kids called “Exploration Camera” (たんけんカメラ) designed for shooting insects. It’s not yet decided whether it’s going to be a real product:
The German police is searching for a murder suspect who reportedly killed one woman and injured a second critically. The police released a picture of the man named Frank Naaß – he is a Nikon shooter and was apparently known in the local photo community as a semi-professional.
Several German media outlets reported on the story, including Spiegel. The english version of the story can be found here.
Thanks Matthias!
Just a small update on the story: the suspect was recognized by witnesses and arrested on late Friday evening (~ 11 p.m.) on the streets in Göttingen. The arrest was conducted by just two detectives in plain clothes because the main police force (including the SWAT teams) had been redirected to Hannover (about 100km north of Göttingen) after several witnesses had called in and claimed to have seen him there. The second victim succumbed her severe injuries in hospital.
Many of the current Nikon rebates are set to expire this weekend and some new offers will be introduced: the price of the Nikon D5 will drop by another $500 (the new price will be $5,496.95). You can see the new pricing at Adorama, B&H and Amazon this Sunday at 12:01 am EST.
