  • Canon EOS 5D looses its mirror

    This is assuredly an unusual service advisory notice that was just dropped by Canon USA: Some Canon EOS 5D may simply loose their mirror if its glue stops sticking enough.

  • Cameras delayed for fear of recession

    Crisis, recession, deflation, financial crush, layoffs are all words that we hear about on a daily basis. Whatever you feel/think about them, there is a reality: the consumers are buying less. This is as true for photo hardware and software as for the other markets (maybe it’s worse for cars…) Now, this has a clear…

  • Back to September predictions

    Today, I was back reading the post I wrote last September about the Nikon D800. Isn’t it interesting to notice that the Nikon D3x appeared about the time I was thinking to see the Nikon D800. So what? A Nikon D800 in February 2009?

  • Nikon D800 at 15MP

    The birth of rumours about a Sony Alpha 800 SLR camera at 15MP started the rumour mill again for a Nikon D800. After years of partnership (Sony manufacturing a camera sensor for SLRs, Sony and Nikon using it in their SLR cameras), no surprise if you try to forecast the next step: Nikon D800. Of…

  • Sony Alpha 800

    Photography Bay takes the rumour train about the next Sony camera. They try to describe the full scope of possible Sony Alpha 800 features. Interestingly, this is the second time is a few days that Photography Bay is quickly photoshopping a photo to support their rumours. They admit it in the (invisible to most visitors)…

Apparently, some know (or believe they know) that it will be called Nikon D65. Even better, here are its features: 12MP CMOS…
