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.

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…]

These guys were apparently shooting a wedding when something went very, very wrong.
Since they are apparently speaking Russian, I can only speculate as to the source of the disagreement; however, I’m pretty sure it originated with a derogatory comment from the Nikon D700 user about the Canon 5D Mark II user’s autofocusing capabilities.
Save that stuff for the forums guys.

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.
