It’s official, I’ve sold off my last DSLR and 35mm lens. The only “high end” camera I own is the Olympus EP-2 along with the 20mm 1.7 and 45mm 2.8 (remember, Micro 4/3 cameras have a 2X lens factor). Today, I took that little baby out on the town to see what it could do. [...]

While, I’m not that excited about the camera itself, that means that video is going to play an increasing roll in Nikon’s cameras. We [...]

I was perusing Nikon Rumors this morning and found an interesting post. At Best Buy, the entire stock of D700′s is out. That might mean an upcoming release of a D700s? I’m sure this means 1080p HD video and maybe the, ever so good, D3s sensor. Probably not as they don’t let the D3 sensors [...]

The running joke in the studio last week was, “well, it has crystal nano coating.” I love to make fun of lens manufacturer naming. It seems like they spend all day trying to come up with new letters and words to tack onto the end of lens names. Some of my favorite names are from [...]
