Thom Hogan has posted a review of the Nikon D90.
Bottom line: the D90 a great consumer camera. It doesn’t really have the cajones to be a professional’s working camera, though it equals the D300’s image quality.

Wired has posted a hands-on review of the Nikon D700.
In short, though, the D700 kicks ass. It’s easy to use, and takes an incredible picture, even in the dark.

Cameras.co.uk has posted a review of the Nikon Coolpix P6000.
Picture quality is very good indeed. The downside comes with the shutter delay times.

Chicago, IL – November 12, 2008 – Forget everything you know about DSLR cinematography; this is the future of camcorders and Zacuto’s DSLR Baseplate Kits are the new standard for DSLR cinematography. The new Nikon D90 and the Canon 5D Mark II with super 35 (DOF) depth of field are revolutionizing the industry so much that even RED One Digital has taken notice and is redesigning the Scarlet into a DSLR.
Available now, the new Zacuto DSLR kits: Docu, Cine, Newsman, Indie, and Filmmaker are universal and will work with all cameras and accessories. Zacuto kits allow users to make DSLR’s work much like camcorders. All kits are balanced which is critical for smooth movement and less user fatigue in both tripod and handheld use. Zacuto’s trademarked Z-Release (quick release) allows for fast installation of components like an articulating arm, matte box, follow focus, wireless mic, on-board monitor, an audio adapter, and more. Zacuto kits give you all the components you need for your camera package right out of the box and at a discounted price compared to buying the components ala carte. With various price points, no confusion, and the ability to be used with a tripod, steadicam, dolly, handheld and shoulder mount; you can purchase the kit that is perfect for you and your type of shooting. All Zacuto products are made in the USA and come with a lifetime warranty. [Read more…]
Could this be the next version of the Nikon D3 that popped up on the Nikon Germany website? Here’s a closer look:
What’s a Nikon D3 2 folder doing just below the Nikon D3 and D300 folders? A Nikon D3x, a different folder for the Nikon D3’s updated firmware, or just a spare folder for all the Nikon D3 stuff?
I dunno, but crunch time is closing in for the 24MP rumored camera. See this Nikon D3x rumor for the last word on the topic.
Rocky Nook has just announced a new guide for Nikon D300 owners, Mastering the Nikon D300. The book is touted as a comprehensive guide to the Nikon D300. While it retails for around $40, you can find it here on Amazon for around $26. Check out the press release below for more details. [Read more…]
Earlier this week, Luminous Landscape pitted the Canon G10 against the Nikon P6000. Now, PhotographyBLOG has done the same thing – with the same results.
The Nikon Coolpix P6000 is a good camera, but the Canon PowerShot G10 is better – it’s as simple as that.

There are a handful of forum posters that actually have access to inside information. These elect few don’t tout their credentials. No, they quietly state facts, which are proven by the later release of new camera models.
Yesterday, one of those forum posters spoke to the coming Nikon full frame pro body:
A high pixel count pro body in 135 format, about 45 days to go for more details. :-)
That’s it. That’s all he needed to say. Jeff-c is generally on the money with leaks, predictions or whatever you want to call it.
Additionally, he’s not the only one calling for a big December announcement from Nikon – see here and here.
Better pinch those pennies, because Santa Claus is coming to town and he’s bringing a Nikon D3x or D4 along with him.
PhotographyBLOG has published a review of the Nikon P6000.
The Nikon Coolpix P6000 is a good camera in its own right, but doesn’t quite cut the mustard when compared to its main rivals, the Canon PowerShot G10 and Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3.
