We worry about the weight America’s young people are putting on, but nobody worries about their DSLRs. Come on, folks, these cameras have a serious weight problem too.

I keep receiving those anonymous tips (three so far) about a new Nikkor AF-S 50mm f/1.2 lens: Nikon are working on an autofocus upgrade of the classic 50mm f/1.2. It is still rather far from production however the optical formula is very similar to the Ai

The pre-PMA announcements are hotting up, and Nikon has just released the details of its 2010 Coolpix lineup. Like most of the manufacturers compact camera ranges, this one offers a veritable confusion of models, so we’ll just hit the highlights here. Don
The first of the two standout models is the P100, a chunky, bridge-style camera which has Nikon’s new back-illuminated CMOS image sensor. This confusingly-named chips isn’t backlit like a computer screen. Instead, the internal wiring is moved behind the actual sensors, and the sensors now sit directly behind the micro-lenses and color filters. This ups the sensitivity significantly (in the range of +6db) and decreases noise. This means better pictures in low-light — now a Nikon hallmark. As a result, the P100 can shoot at up to ISO 3200 with its 10.3MP sensor.
Featuring Medium Format sensors of stunning 50Mpixel or 60Mpixel, and the revolutionary new True Focus technology, the H4D camera system will change the way you think about high-end photography. The H4D series is built upon the successful H3D platform and comes bundled with our new Phocus 2.0 imaging software.

Last week at Coastal Sports in Long Island, Unique Photo put two of the best cameras in the hands of two top-tier professional photographers. Canon and Nikon are the powerhouses in the digital SLR market, and their flagship cameras represent the finest sports photography cameras ever made. The highly anticipated Canon EOS 1D Mark IV has just started shipping, and Nikon’s D3S has been available for about one month.
Asian American blogger Joz Wang, of jozjozjoz.com wrote a post titled “Racist Camera! No, I did not blink… I’m just Asian!” last year when she

I said already that I will not cover this issue anymore, unless there is an official word from Nikon. The official word came yesterday from Nikon Europe: “The 70-200mm f/2.8G ED AF-S VRII lens features a component in the lens design which may appear to ha
