Or, rather, there is a risk of overheating and Nikon decided not to take any risk and to recall some of the EN-EL15 (batteries used on D700, D7000, D800, D800E and V1). The only batteries that may be replaced hold the letter E or the letter F in 9th position in their serial number. EN-EL15…

Nikon D300s and D700 are at the end of the road
Weird! On their Japanese web site (but not on the French or US web sites, or nay other Nikon web site I could check), Nikon just lightened the list of its discontinued DSLR photo cameras: Nobody’s really surprised by the presence of the Nikon D700 since Nikon will announce its successor the Nikon D800 as…

No Nikon D700x, but a Nikon D700s
According to SPTS, a Nikon authorized camera repair center, we will see no Nikon D700x, but the next improved version of the Nikon D700 will hold the name of Nikon D700s.

Nikon D900, near?
A correspondent from Taipei transmitted me some very amazing information.

I would classify this in the “very low probability” folder since I cannot believe that the Nikon D700 is already…
The end of the pixel war?
This is going to be considered either as the boldest move in years for a whole industry, or the dumbest moment in the career of a doomed photo executive. Akira Watanabe, manager of Olympus Imaging’s SLR planning department, in an interview given to CNet at the Photo Marketing Association (PMA) fair, said: “We have no…

Sony Alpha 900 vs. Nikon D3
Comparing two SLR cameras with very very different prices is realy a tough task. So tough that it is often useless. In the Online Photographer, Michael Johnston still tries this daunting task of comparing the Sony Alpha 900 and the Nikon D3. These are two cameras that are mostly linked by the fact that they…
