If you’re one of the (very?) few people who have a hankering to combine your Digital SLR with the flexibility and precision of a view camera, you’re in luck; Sinar have just launched the solution you’ve been waiting for.
The new Sinar p-slr allows you to mount your Nikon (or Canon) DSLR on Sinar’s range of [...]
Nikon Rumors are reporting that there are two upcoming announcements from Nikon:
17th August 2010 – For Nikon’s usual mid-year CoolPix refresh. We’d like to see a Canon G11 killer, but expect that this model has been pushed back (or even cancelled).
19th August 2010 – For the expected D3000 replacement (rumors have named it the [...]
It seems like there’s another source of mugs fashioned after a Nikon lens now available. The cap screws off this realistic-looking AF-S 24-70mm f/2.8 to reveal the steaming hot (or cold, if you like) beverage within.
Actually, this looks like a pretty good replica – certainly a notch above other lens mugs that we’ve seen. [...]
Both Thom Hogan and Mirrorless Rumors are reporting that Sony may be planning to stop developing and producing FX-sized sensors. According to Thom, Sony management feel that full-frame sensors simply aren’t providing the return on investment that was expected, and are unlikely to be profitable in the long term. Production of DX-sized sensors [...]
As part of our review process, we thought it would be interesting to get the D5000 into the hands of its target market – the kind of person who may be new to DSLRs, but thinks that the D3000 might be a bit too limiting or is attracted by D5000-only features such as the articulating [...]
If you look at Nikon’s current DSLR lineup, there are a couple of bodies that are getting a little long in the tooth and in need of a refresh. The first is the ageing D90 (August 2008); the other is the D700 (announced in July 2008). At the time of writing, the D700 [...]
Sigma Corporation of America today issued a press release announcing the availability of a new lens, the 17-50mm F2.8 EX DC OS HSM.
This optic is a large aperture standard zoom designed for APS-C sensors (Sigma’s DC designation), and features both a silent focus motor (HSM, or HyperSonic Motor, roughly equivalent to Nikon’s AF-S) and optical [...]
BCN are reporting that Nikon have taken the number one spot in Japan for interchangeable lens cameras.
In the first half of 2010, Canon lost the top spot with 31.4% market share compared to Nikon’s 34.0%. Last year’s figures were quite the opposite, with Nikon gaining up from 31.3% and Canon dropping from 39.1%.
The other [...]
An interesting product is getting some buzz on the internet at the moment; a “3D lens in a cap” attachment from Loreo.
This “3D Body Cap”, as Loreo like to call it, is a device that attaches to your DSLR in place of a regular lens and looks a lot like a dive mask. It [...]
Nikon wasn’t the company’s name until 1988.
Prior to this, the company was officially called Nippon Kogaku K.K. – many people believe the name changed earlier, but it wasn’t until the late 80′s. 1st April 1988, to be precise, Nikon Corporation was officially (re)born.
Of course, they had been using Nikon as a trademarked brand [...]
