  • Sony 70-400mm tested in France

    Jean-Marie Sépulchre made a test of the Sony 70-400 mm f/4-5.6 G SSM on a Sony Alpha 900 (24 MP Full frame camera). As this is a serious chunk of nice glass impatiently awaited by many (incl. wildlife photogrpahers like me), it was worth seeing. The 70-400mm lens test draws the interesting conclusion that “this…

  • Nikon D400: Confirmation in the Ads

    Currently, Google AdSense is distributing ads that match the exact words “Nikon D400”. Usually, this is not very significant (many small companies try to catch some attention this way), but those are coming from the big names in photo camera distribution: Amazon, B&H, Adorama. If those big guys are now all spending money on the…

  • Images of the Nikon D400

  • 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…

  • Canon EOS 60D (or EOS 7D)

    Photography Bay is showing a list of features for the upcoming replacement of the Canon EOS 50D. Already??? Sure, it seems a bit early to start talking about this one. Did I say rumour? Anyway, here are the (rumoured) features: 15.1MP sensor (no resolution changes, improved IQ?) New 13 Point AF 1080p Movie Mode Continuous…

  • 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.
