Nikon CoolPix P100, the compact superzoom camera that got straight to our hearts with its five-way stabilized 26x optical zoom lens, HDR functionality and the ability to shoot H.264 video at 1080p, has just become available with various retailes for a rather afforadable $400
The Nikon D700 was a camera that leaked countless times on the web before it made it to the market and that is what has made Nikon careful about its replacement which will probably be called the D700x or D800. So much has been the degree of secrecy maintained that not even a single spec about the D700 sequel is known and the experts have only been able to anticipate 720p video addition and that too because almost every other current Nikon DSLR has that feature.
Interestingly, photographers testing the sequel have been spotted in London and in Olympics host Vancouver, and the one caught in Vancouver took refuge in the crowd on realizing that he was being snapped.
If you’re an enthusiast photohrapher looking for new gear but your budget is limited, don’t worry – there’s plenty to choose from right now, and if you’ve got at least $1000 to spend, you should be able to pick a great camera that’s well worth the money.
Nikon has just unveiled its new D3s 12-megapixel DSLR camera. A must for the professional photographer, the new Nikon D3s can shoot up to ISO 12,800 in normal settings, has improved 720p HD video (24fps) and can also be manually set to shoot at ISO 102,400, which, significantly enough, is four times more than the original D3.
The new Nikon D3s has been tailor-made to click better in low light mode and any other situation where blur-free shots are crucial. Although the camera brings the same 16-bit pipeline with 14-bit analog-to-digital conversion from the older model, it has made efforts to cut down on chromatic aberration on the horizontal axis.
When looking for a camera, the first name that hits your mind is Nikon and depending on your taste you opt for either a regular SLR or a Digital Option. The specific reason for this dominance is the way Nikon thinks ahead of others and it has out-thought the contemporaries yet again by staging a camera that comes with a built-in pico projector.
This isn’t a certain piece of information but the insider that revealed the traits of the device codenamed the VP650 is very sure about his revelation.
After long speculations, Nikon have just announced their new Nikon D300S camera. A 12.3 megapixel DSLR that can record 720p movies at 24fps, the new D300S brings contrast-detect autofocus (while in Tripod mode) and offers an external mic input.
On top of that, the beast incorporates the same DX-format 12.3 megapixel CMOS sensor in the D300, comes with a 51-point autofocus system, 7 frames per second burst shooting, a 3 inch LCD display and EXPEED image processing. There’s also a Quiet release mode for discrete photography, a built-in pop-up flash that covers 16mm wide-angle field of view, dual CF and SD memory card slots.
Available in stores from the end of August, the new Nikon D300S is going to be priced close to $1,800.

Nikon D3x is the company’s long rumored 24-megapixel DSLR that got busted by Bristol Pete last Friday. I’m not sure how much to trust off of “Went to dinner with Nikon this week. The Nikon D3X is due in December 08″ but we’re prepared to give it a warm welcome.
Using the same massive full frame sensor in Sony’s A900, but probably with a changed name and maybe some revisions. It’s not the first time, rumors have gone wild when it comes to Nikon and their DSLRs so I’m not sure if that’s part of their marketing plan or if it’s really going on sale from December. For those racing the megapixels, the new Nikon D3x may be the right thing to wait for. No word on price yet!- via Photography Bay
