I always believed that one day still cameras would die out, and instead people would just take still frames from hi-def video cameras and use them instead (or just not take still frames at all, because in the future everybody would have a portable video screen and there would be no newspapers). Ins...

For the professional news shooter a PRO video-camcorder is irreplaceable (yet). Hi Nico. I'm a professional photo journalist for a daily newspaper. Both myself and my colleagues are using DSLRs to shoot video. We also have dedicated video journalists that are using professional video equipment, but...

What can I say? Seems like Nikon has made an excellent camera even better! Testing a sample camera using early firmware, image quality already looks very nice (on the camera monitor). Testing the ridiculously high ISO 204.800 (Hi4) there was a lot of noise - as expected. ISO 6400 and 12800 looks ver...

I already have this one. It's rare, alright, but I'll be surprised if it sells at this price.

I'll get a chance to play with the camera on monday. I've ordered two bodies for pro use. Seems like a nice upgrade.

It was inevitable, I suppose, and it's not necessarily terrible news, but Kodak isn't doing too well.. Always sad to see the demise of an old, familiar brand like this. The company will always be a part of our common cultural heritage. Despite the current "mourning", I'm sure we can all l...

Improved video features (big deal for photo journalists) and a bunch of seemingly minor but important tweaks and new features. http://www.dpreview.com/news/2012/01/06/NikonD4launched http://www.robgalbraith.com/bins/multi_page.asp?cid=7-11673-12223 http://aasland.smugmug.com/Public/NikonWebcom/i-H5X...

I think it it notable is this probably Nikon's first all new lens mount since the original "F". Actually, Nikon made a brand new QV mount for the QV-1000C (1988). They also had some IX lenses for their APS-sized Pronea cameras, but I'm not sure if it's physically different from the F moun...
