Nikon has announced a new firmware update for its high-end D4s DSLR that gives it a number of new abilities and fixes, among which are unlimited continuous shooting and unlimited exposure time.
At the end of 2014, Nikon issued a notice saying that fake D800E DSLRs have been discovered during service center repairs. Technicians found that the cameras were actually ordinary D800 DSLRs (a few hundred dollars cheaper) that had their covers replaced with D800E shells.
Nikon issued an update today saying that other models are being faked as well, namely the D610 and D4S.
One of the big camera industry rumors this year that hasn't come to pass (yet) is the fancy new firmware update system Nikon reportedly has up its sleeve. Nikon Rumors still believes that leak to be legitimate.
Big firmware updates are coming though: Nikon announced today that it will be releasing major firmware updates this summer for a few of its high-end DSLRs that will make them more capable as filmmaking cameras.
TheCameraStoreTV released this very timely video yesterday in which they putting the autofocus systems of four separate mirrorless cameras -- the Fuji X-T1, Sony a6000, Olympus OMD E-M1 and Panasonic GH4 -- to the test against the mighty Nikon D4S.
Each of these cameras have claimed at some point or another in their marketing that they indeed have the fastest autofocus, so The Camera Store's goal was to see which one could rise above the pack.
The Canon 1D X is a couple of years old by now, but that doesn't mean it can't hold its own with the big boys of today. And so DigitalRev decided to put the camera up against Nikon's new D4s in a paparazzi-style shootout that you'll either find funny or annoying, depending on how you feel about DigitalRev humor in general. (Note: There are a few curse words and some innuendos in the video. Might be better to save this one for after work.)
Last month we wrote about and shared the trailer for the inception-worthy short film, "DEDICATED" (a D4s promo film about people using the D4s that was shot on a D4s). And yesterday, Nikon ambassador Corey Rich posted the final version of the film, along with a 14-minute behind the scenes look at what went into the production.
When the D4s was announced, it was mentioned that the camera could shoot slightly faster than its …
The Nikon D4s is only a marginal improvement on the D4, but that didn't stop Nikon from touting it as significantly better in low light and faster to boot. The question is, do those claims hold up when you put the camera through its paces?
Well, the DxOMark team did just that, and the results may or may not surprise you depending on how much stock you put in press release boasting.
Is it okay for a professional photographer to try and crowdfund a new camera? It seems like the answer to that is No, if you go by the response to pro wedding photographer Stephen Yanni's recent GoFundMe campaign. A campaign that raised no money, but a whole lot of outrage, before being ultimately pulled.
In the (slightly paraphrased) words of rapper and former Pimp My Ride host Xzibit, "Yo dawgs, we heard you liked the Nikon D4s, so here's a video about the D4s, shot on a D4s".
We've had teasers, we've had spec leaks, we've had image leaks and we've had more (ultimately inaccurate) spec leaks. And now, finally, we have an official announcement: the Nikon D4s has arrived.
Alright, the rumor sites are giving this another shot. After getting the announcement date wrong the first time -- it seems that February 11th event was not related to the D4s at all -- Nikon Rumors is confidently reporting that the camera will get its official announcement on February 25th.
Well, February 11th came and went without so much as a peep about the D4s. It seems that invitation for a special Nikon event didn't have to do with the new flagship after all.
But have no fear, because earlier today, Adorama accidentally (or at least it seemed accidental) listed the yet-unannounced camera alongside some new specs that, at least according to the well-informed folks at Nikon Rumors, seem wrong...
The time is almost here for Nikon fans. Nikon Rumors is reporting that as of yesterday, the D4 has officially been discontinued and is out of stock or back-ordered at all the major online retailers. This, of course, comes just in time for the D4s launch.
Nikon already revealed that the D4s is in the works -- the company even had one on display in a 'so-close-and-yet-so-far' glass case at CES -- but so far, we've had very little info about the camera itself. Officially, we know that the new flagship will feature a new image processor and "more advanced autofocusing performance," but thanks to Nikon Rumors, we now know a bit more.
One of the most simultaneously exciting and vague photography announcements to come out of CES this year was the official confirmation that Nikon's new flagship D4S is on the way. And even though very few details were revealed -- find out about those here -- attendees were given the opportunity to stare longingly at a D4S that the Nikon folks had brought with them to their booth.
After many a rumor indicating that this very thing would happen, Nikon has officially announced that the followup to the flagship D4, the D4S, is in development and will be on display at the company's booth at CES in Vegas over the next few days.
The folks over at Nikon Rumors have been hard at work keeping everybody up on what you can expect from Nikon, but if you're like us, you just don't have the time to follow rumors day in and day out. So here's a roundup of what the most exciting and plausible rumors that should give Nikon lovers some idea of what to expect in the next couple of months.
