Digital Camera News, Reviews and Tips
Nikon has updated software for the WT-4 wireless transmitter. The new update provides support for the new D7000, Mac OS X 10.6.4 and Windows 64-bit OS, along with bug fixes. You can download the updated software from Nikon’s website via the links below.
In Parts 1 and 2 of this series, I provided an introduction to this autofocus evaluation, as well as a brief overview of the Canon 1D Mark IV and Nikon D3S AF systems. In Part 3 of this series, I looked more in-depth at images captured during basketball games with the 1D Mark IV and D3S.

In Part 4 below, we will look more in-depth at images captured during a track and field event with the 1D Mark IV and D3S. [Read more…]
The Nikon NF-300i is a 7.2-inch digital photo frame that runs on the Android operating system. The big buzz about the NF-300i is the autostereoscopic screen, which allows you to view 3D images without the need for 3D glasses.
The NF-300i displays are available to my Picturetown 3D members who pony up about 20k yen per year (about $250 USD). And right now, they are only available in Japan.
No doubt that the Nikon D7000 is creating some buzz with its low light sensitivity and 1080 24p HD video capture. The above video from Will Boisture demonstrates a little bit of what the D7000 can do at ISO 2000-5000.
Also, a couple more sample footage tracks from Chris McDaniel below. [Read more…]

Photography Bay reader “Mister Le” sent in a link to the unboxing of his new Nikon D7000. I know this is a bit cruel for those of you still waiting on the D7000 to become available. But, it should arrive really soon.
Nikon Rumors got a tip and photo evidence that the new Nikon D7000 is sitting in Best Buy stock rooms everywhere, but they won’t sell them to you just yet.
Word is that Best Buy will start selling them on October 17 or 18 (my money’s on the 17th because that’s when Best Buy starts it new ads for each week).
BestBuy.com lists October 17-22 as arrival dates for pre-orders, as seen in the screenshot above.
B&H Photo, Adorama and Amazon also have the Nikon D7000 listed, with some offering pre-orders, but no dates for availability yet. Check those pages out below.
Nikon has kept some form of rebates running just about all year long. Now, Nikon is even including the D3100 in the rebates.
Check out the full list of instant rebates below from B&H. [Read more…]
One of the big features touted for the new Nikon D3100 has been the continuous AF feature, something that has been lacking on prior Canon and Nikon cameras. Check out the sample video below to see how well it works. [Read more…]
