Nikon also announced a new WR-1 wireless remote controller for the D7100:

Nikon-WR-1-Wireless-Remote-Controller“The D7100 supports the WR-1, a highly functional transceiver that enables verification and adjustment of settings, as well as control over remote shooting. The WR-1 uses radio waves and supports 15 channels for communication over a maximum range of 120 m between multiple WR-1s. Not only can one WR-1 be configured as a transmitter and a second as a receiver to control operation of one remote camera, but multiple WR-1s can be configured as receivers for remote control over multiple cameras. A number of remote shooting options are available, including simultaneous release and synchronized release, as well as interval timer shooting and division of multiple cameras into groups for separate control over each group. Remote control is also possible using the WR-R10/WR-T10 combination.”

Detailed Nikon D7100 specs:

  • 24.1MP CMOS sensor
  • 6fps
  • No AA filter (similar to the D800E)
  • 51 AF point, 15 cross-type
  • Built-in HDR function
  • 2016-pixel RGB sensor
  • 3.2″ 1,229k dots LCD screen
  • Dual SD card slots
  • EXPEED 3 processor

  • Video: 1080p @ 60i/50i/30/25/24 fps plus 720p @ 60p

Based on those specs, it seems that Nikon will really merge the D7000 and D300 product lines – what I reported back in November last year.

Nikon D7100 and a compact DX camera announcement in few hours

By [NR] admin | Published: February 20, 2013

In few hours (around midnight EST) Nikon will most likely announce the D7100 and a new compact camera. As I already mentioned few weeks ago, the D7100 will have a 24MP sensor and 100-6400 ISO range with body design similar to the D600. The new compact camera will have a fixed 18mm f/2.8 lens (28mm equivalent), APS-C sensor, EXPEED 2 processor and Wi-Fi support.

Stay tuned for detailed coverage.

Update: Nikon D7100 detailed specs.

Nikon’s 18mm f/2.8 mirrorless DX lens patent

By [NR] admin | Published: February 19, 2013

nikon-18mm-f2.8-DX-lens-patent

I want to mention again patent application 20110080659 filed by Nikon on September 30th, 2010 for a 18mm f/2.8 DX lens (28mm equivalent) because I think this could be the lens used in their upcoming high-end APS-C compact camera. As I already mentioned back in 2011 when I covered this patent, this lens is not designed for F-mount – the back focus (BF) is 19mm and it needs to be 46.50mm for F-mount. The lens is also very compact – only 58mm from the image plane to the front element. Here is the lens diagram from the original patent filed in Japan (2008-40033):
