    Even if the Nikon D400 (successor to the Nikon D300) is supposed to be much more expensive than the Canon 500D (successor to the Canon EOS 450D), Google Trends shows that the public’s interest is significantly higher for the Nikon D400.

  • NR sees the Nikon D400

    A reader from Nikon Rumours claims he has spotted a partial update of the German Nikon web site showing the Nikon D400.

  • Canon 500D: Is it near us?

    There was no Canon EOS 500D at Las Vegas PMA Fair. Not even the shadow of the premature announcement of an SLR camera.

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…

  • Discontinued cameras at Leica and Nikon

    Surprisingly, the PMA fair has been the opportunity to announce not only new products, but also the death of some others. The most prominent ones: Leica announces the end of its R-Series manual focus SLR cameras. Probably to be replaced by something else at the same level.

  • Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH1
