Nikon D800 pictures and specs leaked?
Like UnlikeFiled in: CamerasNikon
If those crazy kids at Nikon Rumors are to be believed, we're finally getting a good look at the long-awaited Nikon D800. Said to be "smaller and lighter than [the] D700," the report states that the 7,360 x 4,912 (36-megapixel) DSLR will feature 1080p (30/25/24) and 720p (60/30/25/24) video recording, a slightly larger display, video quality "better than D3s," autofocus identical to the D3 and D700, and slots for CompactFlash and SD memory cards. The photos here show an extended battery module and a new movie mode / live view switch on the lower right next to the viewfinder (sort of like the D7000). The post does not give a release date, but as we've reported before it is expected to make th...

Nikon factories to remain closed until 2012 due to Thailand floods
Like UnlikeFiled in: Nikon
Nikon has issued a third official note on the damage to its facilities from the ongoing flooding in Thailand, and it looks like it will be closed into next year. The company's Ayutthaya plant will begin production again in January and get fully back up to speed by March, but with its doors shuttered since October 6th, the damage has already been substantial. This factory is used for both Nikon DLSRs and its new interchangeable lens V1 and J1 cameras —and three to six months of limited production will make Nikon's newest gear very difficult to get hold of for the immediate future. The flood waters have receded from their 2-yard deep peak by about 15 inches, but that's still far too deep to be...

Rumoured Nikon D800 specs emerge
Like UnlikeFiled in: CamerasNikonD800
New rumours about the impending Nikon D800 have emerged, suggesting a 36 megapixel sensor, 4 fps continuous shooting and Full HD video in 30p.
Many people had expected a Nikon D800 to emerge as early as February or March this year, but it is thought that the earthquake and tsunami in Japan pushed back the release date to autumn. A report published in May suggested that Nikon's Sendai plant had fallen behind a previous summer deadline for the D700 replacement.
Further fuel was poured on the rumours fire as a French D800 user manual 'Obtenez le maximum du Nikon D800' (or 'Get the most out of your Nikon D800') by Bernard Rome appeared on the Amazon France website.

Olympus: Why PEN is mightier than the Nikon 1
Like UnlikeFiled in: OlympusNikon
Olympus has spoken out about the new Nikon 1 system, introduced last week as a rival to existing compact system cameras such as the PEN range of micro four thirds cameras.
In an exclusive interview with TechRadar, Mark Thackara, national marketing manager, consumer products for Olympus UK spoke to us about market reaction to the new cameras.
The Olympus PEN was one of the first compact system cameras to come to market, sharing the same micro four thirds system as the Panasonic G1 which was announced a few months previously.
Since the launch of the first PEN back in 2009, the E-P1, several different versions of the PEN range have been launched, with the current line-up including the PEN E-P3,...

Nikon shares rise amid mirrorless speculation
Like UnlikeFiled in: Nikon
Shares in Nikon have risen for the third day in a row after increased speculation about an impending launch of the company's first mirrorless camera.
A report in the Nikkei newspaper which claimed that the new Nikon compact system camera will be launched by the end of the year with a price of 70,000-100,000 yen (approximately £565-£800) with a kit lens seems to have been the major reason for the share price increase.
Nikon, along with its main rival, Canon, has yet to enter the mirrorless market, while Sony, Samsung, Panasonic, Olympus and Pentax all have models on the market.

Nikon announces CoolPix P7100
Like UnlikeFiled in: CamerasNikonCOOLPIX P7100
Nikon has announced the CoolPix P7100 - an updated version of its P7000 enthusiasts' compact. The P7100 addresses many of the faults that held back its predecessor in our round-up late last year. So, while the specifications improve by gaining an extra control dial and a flip-out LCD, the biggest improvement is to the camera's responsiveness (the image quality never really being in question).
