CP+ 2015: Nikon Interview – ‘We learned from the D600 episode’

11 Apr

When we attended CP+ earlier this year in Yokohama, Japan we sat down with senior executives from several major camera and lens manufacturers. We were lucky enough to sit down with a number of Nikon engineers to ask them about their overall strategy with respect to FX vs DX, and DSLR vs mirrorless. We were also able to ask pointed technical questions regarding innovative technologies in Nikon cameras, and the answers were very enlightening. Click through to read the interview

Nikon has revealed that it allocated ¥1.8bn (~ $ 17.6m / £10.5m) to cover the cost of warranty repairs and replacements for its D600 SLR in the last financial year. The camera has been plagued since its launch by a tendency to accumulate oil spots on its sensor, resulting in Nikon offering to replace the shutter mechanism or even the entire camera for free if necessary. In an investor relations statement on its website, the company says that it is taking the matter very seriously, and ‘will be taking steps to restore confidence in the Nikon brand’.

Nikon d600 Video Clips

11 Feb

A few quick and dirty shots I took the day after I got the camera. Quite a few high iso shots. Some shots with the face detection auto focus on, just to experiment. I mostly used a not great lens, a Nikkor 28-80mm F3.3-5.6. This was the kit lens from a Nikon film camera I bought 15 years ago. I dusted it off to try it out. I wouldn’t usually use this lens for video.
