  • Images of the Nikon D400

    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…

  • Canon EOS 500D initial feature set

  • 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

  • Pentax drops its prices

    In the midst of price hikes all around the world, here is Pentax which takes a radically different course and announces price drops on Pentax K20D, Pentax K200D and Pentax K2000/K-m. Decidedly, at least one new model is coming soon! Source: Photography Bay.

  • 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. This can happen during operation. I wouldn’t like to hear the sound and see the consequences… Ok! The repair will be free of charge (at…

  • 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…
