EasyCover announced new silicon cases for the Nikon D850 DLSR camera. Available in three different colors, the new sleeves are now listed for purchase at B&H (currently sold out).
EasyCover also offers cases for the following Nikon cameras (see all cases at Amazon & Adorama):
This year Nikon has booked a rather large booth for the 2018 NAB show that will take place in April (7th-12th). Nikon’s booth is in the middle of the Central Hall and is almost as big as other video-heavy-hitters like JVC, Fuji and Arri. Just a reminder that Nikon was not part of the 2016 and 2017 NAB shows.
BCN published their camera rankings for 2018 and Nikon actually increased their market share in the DSLR and compact camera categories while losing lens market share for a fifth consecutive year (BCN collects sales data from approximately 2/3 of all Japanese retail stores):
Nikon released firmware update version 1.01 for the D850 DSLR camera that fixes the following issues:
The Nikon 1 V3 mirrorless camera is now listed discontinued at B&H and it’s on backorder at Adorama and Amazon. The camera is also listed as discontinued on the official Nikon website:
→ Aurora Aperture introduced the world’s first variable GND filter family (Aurora Aperture filters are sold at B&H).
→ Check out this (new?) “special content” Nikon website dedicated to their 100th anniversary.
→ The FBI is looking for vendors to fix and maintain their Nikon photographic equipment.

Nikon 1 – the little camera that could by Thomas Stirr (check out also his ebook with the same title):
After using Nikon APS-C and full frame DSLRs in the past, I’ve been using the Nikon 1 system exclusively for my client video business and for my still photography needs for the past two and a half years.
While many people are assuming the worst, no official announcement regarding the future of Nikon 1 has been made by Nikon. I regularly hear from other Nikon 1 owners who enjoy their cameras and are planning to continue shooting with them in the years to come, even if the system is eventually discontinued by Nikon.
As an owner of Nikon DSLRs, I was certainly spoiled by the dynamic range and colour depth of the sensors in those cameras. My D800 was a superb camera that I could point at just about anything and know I’d get a good quality image for my clients. Through a couple of years of experimentation I discovered that the Nikon 1 system best met my needs, so I sold my D800 and all of my FX Nikkor glass in the summer of 2015, and have never regretted that decision.
