According to the Spanish webzine QUESABESDE.COM, Nikon has clarified (at least internally) what to do with the upcoming replacement of the Nikon D700 (FX large sensor with a high sensitivity).

Sony: Delayed or not delayed?
Since several weeks, at Sony, rumors are running loose about the situation after the earthquake and tsunami in Japan on the 11 March 2011.

Sony Alpha 35 – Pictures leaked
SonyAlphaRumors.com found a photo of the future Sony A35. Not much to be learned about the technical features of the camera, but it seems clear that it would be available in kit with the Sony 55-200mm f/4-5.6 SAM DT zoom that is so perfectly adequate for this type of entry-level SLR cameras and the nice…

According to a leak published in a DPreview forum, Sony is about to launch a new photo camera in the NEX series (hybrid cameras distinguished by the combination of a small exterior size, interchangeable lenses and a large APS-C digital sensor). The NEX-C3, as it will be known, will have a 16 MP digital sensor…
Nikon D4, really?
Several contacts absolutely want to talk to me of the launch of an upcoming Nikon D4. There certainly is something brewing, but… If I am not just trolled by daydreamers (these contacts were unknown to me up to now), here is more or less what this new Nikon D4 pro SLR photo camera would look…
Nikon: Delays on D4, D800
The impact of the earthquake on 11 March in Japan on the Nikon Sendai plant will have significant consequences for the launches of the Nikon D4 and Nikon D800.

The Nikon D5100 is coming
According to NikonRumors, we’ve only got a few hours to wait. Announcement of the Nikon D5100 should be made late on Tuesday Monday 4 or early on Wednesday Tuesday 5 (probably depending on the time zone where you live). The expected/probable features of the Nikon D5100: 16 MP digital sensor from Sony (probably from the…
D5000 is dead! Long live the Nikon D5100!
This is a bit early to claim that the D5100 from Nikon will soon be here, but it is clear that the repeated message from Nikon is really unambiguous: Stocks of Nikon D5000 are dwindling all over the world and Nikon has obviously no intent to start a new manufacturing batch. The Nikon D5100 will…
Canon EOS 5D MkIII – Where are we going?
Now is the time to stop and summarize what we know about the Canon EOS 5D MkIII (supposedly, the name of the future replacement of the Canon EOS 5D MkII). It is expected to bring important improvements to a 5D MkII already appreciated for its excellent video qualities (explaining why even some movie directors use…

Sony A77 buttons
With the active help of the various readers participating to the discussion/analysis of the transparent prototype presented by Sony in Yokohama, for the Sony Alpha SLT-A77, and the active support of Sébastien who created the representations, here is our common analysis of the probable role of each of the buttons of the Sony A77. Thanks,…
Canon goes electro-optical on IS III
This may be something that many people missed, but when Egami (a Japanese blog) produced a patent from Canon for a 300mm f/4, the important part may not have been the possible upcoming tele-lens but the technology used in the lens to reach a better Image Stabilization (IS). Up to now, Canon and Nikon have…
The proto A77 got chickenpox
Really! Look at these photos from DC.Watch. We can see all faces of the prototype shown by Sony in Yokohama and it’s quite obvious that there are more buttons on this camera body than on any other Sony SLR photo camera. I would even be ready to open a competition to assign features to all…
Canon 5D Mark III, in early 2012
It is said that Canon is preparing a successor to the beautiful Canon EOS 5D MkII, probably under the name of Canon 5D Mark III. Not much about it, apart from the fact that some prototypes are currently in test meaning that the launch could be for early 2012 (but without more precision). As soon…
Transparent Sony SLT-A77 (Updated)
Sony does not promise that this is exactly the Sony Alpha SLT A77 (successor to the current Sony Alpha 700), they merely tell us that this is a mid-range SLT photo camera expected in 2011. However, this is quite exactly the description of the Sony SLT-A77: As a matter of fact, at the CP+ show…
Canon 400mm f/5.6 IS, will it come?
For sure, the current Canon 400mm f/5.6L USM (non IS) is a lens famous for its optical quality. So, when Canon Rumors tells us that there is noise in Sweeden that its replacement arrives, we are all ears. Naturally. But we will have to wait for a confirmation.
Canon EOS 600D / Rebel T3i
Apparently, the Canon EOS 600D / Rebel T3i will arrive next week (near certainly on Friday 11 February) when Canon will announce it to the world.

Sony NEX in 2011
I heard indirectly that a new NEX camera will be presented by Sony. As always, it will be an ultra-compact photo camera but with an APS-C digital photo sensor installed in it. Apparently, it would hold a 16.7 MP sensor (already seen in the Sony Alpha SLT-A55). I think that it could be named NEX-4.…
Sony Alpha 77 viewfinder
A small information about the future Sony Alpha 77: If we know that it will include an electronic viewfinder (EVF) since the revelations from the Sony marketing, we were still lacking some technical details. I just learned that this electronic viewfinder should be based on an OLED display with the exceptional contrast of at least…
What is in the Nikon D400?
One of the most expected SLR photo camera of 2011 will certainly be the Nikon D400. I have to admit that the name is not official yet, and is only the product of a reasonable speculation, but the successor to the Nikon D300s could easily hold this name. The D300s is currently the Nikon flagship…
