  • First touchscreen SLR camera?

    What do you think about this? There are already several point-and-shoot compact cameras using LCD touchscreens for all or part of the user interface. But, to this day, none of the major SLR camera manufacturers did try this on a them while it would be relatively easy to push this into a design budget for…

  • Half a Nikon D3

    Is it now a Nikon D1.5? This is a nice presentation of a Nikon D3 neatly cut in half. It’s showing all the inside of the camera and lens. Instructive. Source: TokyoBling.

  • All lens tests are wrong

    I recommend reading a nice little post titled “All lens tests are wrong” that concludes that the only good test for a lens is to use it during a full year. Not wrong, but I still recommend to also check my list of web sites with photo lens reviews.

  • Canon, Sony, no SLR

    Today, Canon as well as Sony did announce several new products for this beginning of a recession year (plenty of point-and-shoot cameras).

    Most probably, those are the first images from the newest Nikon D400. They were published on Nikon Rumours.

  • Chinese Nikon D400

    The Nikon D400 made a sensational appearance on a Chinese web site. There, we find a description of the feature set. Despite the translation difficulties there are a few interesting items (that is, if they are real data): Sensor: 24.4 MP CMOS Rear LCD screen: Touchscreen Exposure adjust by 1/3 or 1/2 or 1EV Sensitivity:…

  • Compare all rumours

    Using Google Trends, I tried to see the impact of what I thought were the most notable rumours in preparation of the next PMA fair in March. Was I in for a surprise! Pentax does not even score on the graph for the Pentax K30D… Visibly, the Nikon D400 is considered more worth of rumours…

  • Nikon D700x or Nikon D800

    RYC has dropped a new possible name for one Nikon camera to be announced during or before the next PMA fair: Nikon D700x. I assume that this is yet another different side of the same game. Keep your eyes peeled for the last days of February.
