Those are the Nikon related news from the first “press day” at the 2012 Photokina show:
Yes, Nikon did it! Five days after the Nikon D600 was announced, the Canadian dealer dvshop.ca got their first shipment of the new full frame camera. Heck, this achievement is even faster than the Apple iPhone 5. Expect the first D600 cameras to start shipping in the US tomorrow.
This just in from TechCrunch: Google acquired Nik Software.
Nik Software is the company behind the Nikon Capture NX2 software and other popular photo editing products.
FYI: back in 2006, Nikon made a “capital investment” in Nik Software.
For our German readers: Amazon DE just listed the Nikon D600 as available for pre-order at EUR 2,149.
For a complete list of D600 pre-order options, see this post.
