While Summer heat (in the Northern hemisphere) starts to have a heavy influence on our dreams of holidays and on our ability to think clearly, we are more and more to wonder what Nikon is preparing us: The launch of the Nikon D7000 is now far in the past in mid-2010, the entry-level range is…

Photokina: Expectations for Nikon
As for all of photography brands, the upcoming Photokina fair in Köln (Germany) will be a major meeting point with the after-crisis market. Not only because of the launches that will be done there, but also because the photographers expectations have been piling up tidily (maybe be too high?). Let’s see what is really to…
More reviews for the FF cameras
I am quite impressed, I keep receiving more and more reviews for the Full Frame SLR cameras of this winter. It seems that the interest is very high. Currently: Nikon D3x: 15 reviews Canon EOS 5D Mk II: 21 reviews Sony Alpha 900: 21 reviews Nikon D700: 16 reviews A lot of reading for those…
The best SLR
According to DXO-labs and their DXOmark ranking of the quality of digital sensors, the Nikon D3x is now officially the best digital camera available in the world.
Full Frame SLR comparisons
With the arrival of all these new digital photo cameras with a large sensor (Full Frame) in 2008, like the Sony Alpha 900 or the Canon EOS 5D MkII, it became difficult to find your own path. The more because their main advantage of these is photo cameras is to offer images of ultra-high quality…
Nikon D3x vs Sony Alpha 900 (ISO 50-ISO 6400)
Master Chong presents a direct comparison of these two recent cameras, with 100% cropped images. dPhotoExpert makes something similar, but much simpler, with a single comparison at 1600 ISO. Unfortunately, there is no information about which software/firmware version is used (I expect that the results may change with future upgrades).
New camera tests
As you already know, I list the tests and reviews of recent photo cameras in the database that I use to describe them (in the menu on the left). These last days, this is a deluge of new reviews that we received and listed for: Nikon D3x Canon EOS 5D MkII Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1
D3x Hitler last-day video
OK, it’s a bit silly, but it’s all the rage on the Internet today. What a surprise for a pro dSLR camera. YouTube linkYouTube link2 (it may work better in France or Germany despite YT silly censorship)
A bunch of Nikon D3x papers
Did you notice that there is a real deluge of information around one of the most expensive digital SLR camera, the Nikon D3x? I was ready to close the subject, but I could not avoid giving you a few pointers to some of the most interesting articles. DigitalRev speaks about the D3x sensor resolution: Did…
The Nikon D3x is official
OK, there was nearly nothing left to discover about it except the price. The Nikon D3x (full description updated) is now officially launched in the USA. The available information is now confirmed. But, the price will clearly reserve it for pros. Or you should have hit the Jackpot in Vegas: $7,999.95, you’ll have to think…
Fun with the Nikon D3x
A PBase user decided to have fun creating a 3D CAD model of a pro SLR camera that should have the future Nikon D3x. All the pictures of the Nikon D3x created by nrg_alpha. As is said in one of the comments, I’d laugh seeing some people believing that this could actually be a leak…
Nikon D3x, the features
The UK Nikon Pro magazine [1] just disclosed the feature set of the Nikon D3x: 35mm Full Frame FX sensor 24.5 MP sensor 16-bit processing (Expeed) Sensitivity: 100-1600 ISO (ext. 50-6400 ISO) Continuous shooting at 5 fps Autofocus: 51-point MultiCAM3500FX Scene recognition system, 1005-RGB pixel sensor New Extra High Active D-Lighting setting for overly constrasted…
Thom Hogan is betting for a Nikon D400
At least, that is what can be understood from his post on DPreview forums: Actually, the current speculation is that Nikon will announce both a D3x and a D400 (APS, 16mp).
Nikon D900, D4 or D3x?
Let’s make a summary of the current status of the information that is available (for real or as rumours) about the next SLR camera from Nikon. Plenty of people actually expect it to be the replacement of the Nikon D3 camera. I have to admit that there is a lot of rumours and convergent thinking…
Full Frame Nikon
This is all over the Internet rumours now. People think that Nikon is going to unveil a new 35mm Full Frame SLR camera at around 24MP. Let’s summarized what has been popping everywhere: The Nikon D3 is getting more difficult to find (this would be a signal that its replacement is coming) Announcement is scheduled…
Nikon D3x, more rumours
I think that this camera prepared by Nikon to replace the magnificent (but intolerably expensive) Nikon D3 will stay reserved to a technical and financial elite (if there is still one after the current crisis). But rumours are running wild during those days: DPreview told us that it will come in December with the following…
Nikon D900
Thom Hogan seems to be the only one who is seriously refering to this possible camera. But, as he really is a reference in the Nikon world, we must take this into account. For him, there will be no Nikon D4 ‘or nikon D3x), but Nikon is going for some kind of intermediate named Nikon…
