  • Nikon D800 and D800E

    We dreamed about it, Nikon made it! Here is the Nikon D800 and its brother the D800E. Simply put, the D800 is a 36 mega-pixel Full Frame digital SLR photo camera (Thanks to sony for the digital sensor technology). Curiously, Nikon ran directly in the opposite of the Nikon D700 whose sensor sacrificed a little…

    Quite often, photo camera manufacturers try to differentiate themselves one from each other and, for a few years, they only got two ideas: colorful cameras retro-styled cameras that try not to look old Two recent examples: A white Nikon V1 and a retro-styled Samsung NX-200 RS (with only a metalized plastic top to distance itself…

  • Nikon D300s and D700 are at the end of the road

    Weird! On their Japanese web site (but not on the French or US web sites, or nay other Nikon web site I could check), Nikon just lightened the list of its discontinued DSLR photo cameras: Nobody’s really surprised by the presence of the Nikon D700 since Nikon will announce its successor the Nikon D800 as…

  • Nikon D4 – opinion

It’s now here and curiosity is satisfied: The Nikon D4 is the new flagship D-SLR camera for the Nikon high-end and pro range.

  • Nikon D7100 or Nikon D400?

    According to a small bit of information I received, Nikon may not be ready to launch a new successor to the Nikon D300s, also known as Nikon D400. However, they have a Nikon D7100 in the works. The D7100 would be the first Nikon camera using the same digital sensor as the Sony Alpha 77…

  • Small sensor for the Nikon 1

    The most surprising part of today’s announcement of the Nikon 1 family is certainly the appearance of a new size format for the digital sensor: A 1″ sensor size which about half of the more usual DX or APS-C size normally found in the Nikon D-SLR photo cameras (or those of the competition) when looking…
