→ The latest Nikon D5 rumors: the camera will have two XQD cards (I guess the previously rumored CF models were only for testing). The D5 will also have less than 15 fps rate. Another possible announcement date is the second week of February (previous rumors were pointing to a January announcement).

Nikon-D4-DSLR-camera
→ First gen Nikon D4 cameras could have compatibility issue with the new Nikkor E lenses – see this Pixelists forum post (Google translation). It seems that Nikon confirmed the issue.

→ Venus Optics Laowa 15mm macro lens review (wide angle macro, available also for Nikon F mount).

The West Highland Way with the Nikon D750

By [NR] admin | Published: January 3, 2016

My name is Ingo Scholtes and I am a researcher based in Zurich, Switzerland. When I’m not in my office doing research, I enjoy spending my free time outdoors doing landscape and nature photography. Since about 10 years, this has become a growing passion and you can find some of my photographic works on my personal website, my profiles at 500px or you can follow @ingo_s on Twitter. You may also already know some of my works from the Windows Themepacks Scenic Europe, Scenic Europe 2 or Yosemite Scenes which were recently published by Microsoft.

Seven new Nikon cameras and one Speedlight registered at the Indonesian communications agency

By [NR] admin | Published: December 31, 2015

New-Nikon-cameras-and-flashes
The Indonesian communications agency Postel has new registrations for seven new digital cameras and one Speedlight (SB-5000) that will be announced in early 2016. All new models have Nxxxx code names, but based on previous rumors, I believe those are the new compact and action cameras since the D5 will most likely be made in Japan (all listed cameras are made in China or Thailand):

Deal of the day: Nikon AF-S 50mm f/1.8G lens for $90 *UPDATED*

By [NR] admin | Published: December 29, 2015

Nikon AF-S 50mm f:1.8G AF lens deal
Nikon-AF-S-50mm-f1.8G-lens-deal
The Nikon AF-S 50mm f/1.8G lens is currently available for $90 on eBay. This is most likely a grey market item (no US warranty) but for that price, I think it’s a steal (regular price is $216.95).

Update: eBay removed the listing, it was most likely a scam. Sorry about that. You can see the latest Nikon deals here.
