A few announcements from Nikon today, as expected. First up is the new COOLPIX S5100 – a 12.2mp 5x zoom (28-140mm equivalent) compact in Nikon’s “style” S range.
Equipped with a new EXPEED C2 image processing engine, the S5100 offers sensitivities up to ISO 3200 (when selected manually; the camera will only auto-adjust up to [...]

“The Nikon D3S is so sensitive that it can focus and shoot in conditions in which even the human [...]
The image below is a scan of the yet-to-be-announced D3100 (from Nikon Rumors), animated with a shot of the D3000. It will swap between the D3000 and D3100 every 2 seconds.
There are a few clear differences:
A slightly more compact body, with a more rounded profile (especially to the right of the lens mount).
A taller [...]
It looks like Nikon’s latest DSLR, the D3100 (replacing the D3000), has been leaked a little early by German magazine “Foto Digital”. Nikon Rumors got notification from readers who received their subscription copies of the mag today, in which the following details were to be found:
14 MP CMOS Sensor

11-Point AF

Tamron have advertised the availability of their already-announced 70-300mm lens. The USD in the name is what makes this one special – it stands for “Ultrasonic Drive” and is Tamron’s new equivalent to Nikon’s AF-S (and Sigma’s HSM).
This lens is designed for both FX and DX sensors.

Nikon’s latest multimedia presentation is now live. The “THIS DAY” microsite is one of those on-this-day-in-history things.
Why have Nikon done this? Not sure. Interesting, if a little puzzling.
Also available as a screensaver. Flash and a 1024×768 or larger display required.
DxO have today announced 100 new lens & camera combination modules for their Optics Pro lens-correction software, 39 of which are for various Nikon DSLRs combined with Nikkor and other 3rd-party lenses.
DxO Optics Pro automatically applies sophisticated optical corrections to your images, whether JPEG or RAW. The software is based on our exclusive DxO Optics [...]
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. [...]
