discontinued – YLovePhoto https://www.ylovephoto.com/en Intrigued by photography Sun, 21 Feb 2010 22:07:58 +0000 en-US hourly 1 Sony at PMA 2010 https://www.ylovephoto.com/en/2010/02/21/sony-at-pma-2010/ Sun, 21 Feb 2010 21:55:58 +0000 https://ylovephoto.com/en/?p=5402 Finally, Sony told us some about the future of the Alpha line of D-SLR cameras. Unfortunately, it does not mean that we will see new cameras soon. The discontinued Alpha 700 will receive a replacement (who is surprised, really?) and it will come with a wide-angle lens Zeiss Distagon T* 24 mm f/2 ZA SSM and a big 500 mm f/4 G. And notice the prominent HD marking on the top of the mock-ups: HD video is coming now.

There also will be a new ultra-compact camera with interchangeable lenses. The presented mock-ups are quite small indeed:

]]> The Nikon D300 is leaving https://www.ylovephoto.com/en/2009/09/13/the-nikon-d300-is-leaving/ Sun, 13 Sep 2009 11:52:45 +0000 https://ylovephoto.com/en/?p=4399 It was expected, after the arrival of the Nikon D300s, the older D300 is being removed from Nikon web sites one after the other. You have to admit that the Nikon D300s is a better D300 than the D300…

]]> No Fuji in 2009 https://www.ylovephoto.com/en/2009/07/15/no-fuji-in-2009/ Wed, 15 Jul 2009 19:34:52 +0000 https://ylovephoto.com/en/?p=3388 To complement my recent (and wrong) post about Nikon and Fuji, I wanted to search for more information. This is not very positive for Fuji lovers…

According to PDN Pulse in an interview of Diane Rainey, Group Manager for Fujifilm’s Corporate Communications, “Fuji is not manufacturing a pro camera for this year […] However, we are continuing to support whatever’s out there right now“.

OK. We’re not gonna leave you cold in the dark, but don’t count on anything more…

I hear that Nikon is discontinuing its the Nikon D40: 6.1 millions of pixels since November 2006, that’s quite a success.

While stoppping its manufacturing, Nikon officializes firmware updates for the Nikon D40 and D40x.

Nikon D40

Download firmware v1.12 (Windows)

Download firmware v1.12 (Mac)

Nikon D40x

Download firmware v1.01 (Windows)

Download firmware v1.01 (Mac)

Now, in Nikon photo camera range, there’s an entry point made out of the only two Nikon D60 and Nikon D5000. Both are good cameras that are more than able to attract customers at the lowest cost.
