Firmwares, Nikon D4, Nikon D800
Thursday, May 10th, 2012
PDN found a problem with the Nikon D4 and D800 while testing these. It seems that there are situations where the camera will lock up when the camera is used with either Highlights or histogram display. Simply disabling these features will avoid this ugly lock-up (even if it is easy to restore normal operation by [...]

Or, rather, there is a risk of overheating and Nikon decided not to take any risk and to recall some of the EN-EL15 (batteries used on D700, D7000, D800, D800E and V1). The only batteries that may be replaced hold the letter E or the letter F in 9th position in their serial number. EN-EL15 [...]

Thursday, April 26th, 2012

We all know that we would like to see a clear comparison between two significant cameras when we see them. We want to compare them despite their different brands, or we want to compare to older and more expensive and less expensive models. We are not alone. Plenty of people on the web have the [...]

This is starting to look like a bring refrain, in these recent weeks: The most recent photo cameras seem to have been launched before all the bugs could be detected and wiped out.

Nikon D800, User manuals
Tuesday, March 13th, 2012

It’s always difficult to decide to dump a few thousands dolalrs/euros in a new DSLR camera. If, like me, you would like to check the user manual first, Nikon is making all possible attempts to make this complicated, but here are direct links I could find to these manuals in various languages.

Canon is now less sure about the availability of the 1D-X, probably pushed forward to end of April 2012. But Nikon doesn’t want to loose this battle and it seems that all the newly announced cameras will be (more or less) late: Nikon D4: Not before mid-March 2012 Nikon D800: Not before March 22nd Nikon [...]

We dreamed about it, Nikon made it! Here is the Nikon D800 and its brother the D800E. Simply put, the D800 is a 36 mega-pixel Full Frame digital SLR photo camera (Thanks to sony for the digital sensor technology). Curiously, Nikon ran directly in the opposite of the Nikon D700 whose sensor sacrificed a little [...]

We leanred a little more about the Nikon D800 when NR revealed the first pictures of the futur new pro Full Frame Digital SLR from Nikon.
