I haven’t done one of those useless polls in a while, so here we go – which one of those Nikon cameras do want/need and will most likely purchase (you can vote for two cameras):
→ The Sony 256GB XQD G memory card is actually a new model – according to Amazon it was introduced on March 7, 2017. The card is currently $50 off at B&H. More info on the card can be found here.
→ Macphun released a custom preset collection for the Luminar photo editor – there are 8 completely free sets, plus 3 premium collections.

“The most underestimated camera ever” by Henrik Fitinghoff is about the waterproof, shockproof and freezeproof Nikon 1 AW1 mirrorless camera ($797):
I´m a frequent reader of NikonRumors, and there hasn’t been that much good news as of late. I passed 50 years of age and bought my first Nikon when I was 16. It wasn’t a particularly easy choice, and certainly not obvious. But as the years went by I got to work with some hardcore Nikon professionals, and even if I never saw myself as a nothing more than fairly decent with a camera, I guess they inspired me to hold on to my Nikons. I also got to buy some used stuff off of them, which also helped. Since then I’ve renewed my cameras and lenses, trying to keep up with digital development. I left the pro segment with D3 and shifted to D750 and is very happy with that.
