UPDATE 9/25/12: Upon testing, the D600 appears to have a pretty sweet sensor — if the issues noted below are not a concern for you.

Nikon has just officially announced their long-awaited entry-level full-frame body. Full spec reports are everywhere, as Nikon seeds lots of sites with advance info and embargoes them until the hour of release. So I won't duplicate that content here.
But for lighting photographers, the camera has two issues that are of concern. One is minor and (sadly at this point) expected.
But the other is major and quite unexpected. Read more »
The D40x combines affordability with high performance. The digital camera takes quality photographs with its 10.2 megapixels and CCD imaging sensor. All this power is packed into a conveniently compact package; the camera is Nikon’s smallest digital SLR. Check out all the features and the included lens. See for yourself why the camera is worth 9.

This is the stop motion my friend and I made. He took the pictures while I moved the cars in between frames. Its about 300 pictures all together. Video Rating: 4 / 5
Updated: We’ve just added a noise and noise-reduction page to our hands-on preview of the Nikon D600. We’ve got a production sample D600 in the office, and over the coming weeks we’ll be adding test pages to the preview as we move towards the publication of a full review. Our final analysis of the D600’s image quality will come later, but for now, click through to see for yourself how Nikon’s newest DSLR measures up to its competitors in terms of noise in both JPEG and Raw mode.
DxO Labs has announced Optics Pro v7.5.5, with support for the Canon EOS-1D X and the Nikon D600. The latest version of the company’s raw processing and optical correction software also adds support for the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G5 and DMC-LX7. Support for the two full-frame DSLRs comes only in the ‘Elite’ edition of the software, while the Panasonic support is also included in the standard edition, that costs around half as much. As usual, the upgrade is free to existing Optics Pro 7 users and recent purchasers of Pro 6.
www.amazon.com Nikon has released the D7000 mid-level digital SLR. Housed in a magnesium alloy body, the feature-rich camera incorporates a 16.2Mp CMOS sensor, faster ‘Expeed 2’-branded processor, 921k dot 3.0″ LCD and can record 1080p full HD movies. It features the company’s latest 39-point AF system with 3D tracking and 2016 pixel RGB metering sensor. It will start shipping with the 18-105mm VR kit lens from October 2010 at a retail price of 99.95. We’ve had a pre-production D7000 in the office for long enough for us to prepare an full hands-on preview looking at the camera, its features and where it’ll sit in the range. Video Rating: 0 / 5
We’ve been watching out for the D600 since images leaked a couple of months ago, and today it’s been made official: a full-frame DSLR that’s priced ever-so-slightly closer to the reach of mortals (read: “high-end enthusiasts”) who perhaps can’t claim everything off their tax. At just shy of 00 (€2400 in Europe), the 24-megapixel camera’s US list price is significantly lower than that of the 36-megapixel D800, and undercuts Canon’s rival EOS 5D Mark III and Sony’s brand new full-frame Alpha A99. What’s more, aside from the resolution, you’re getting something pretty close to the D800 — including a weather-sealed magnesium alloy build, fast Exspeed III processor, and AF that works down to f/8 — but here it’s all contained in a body that sheds a full 15 percent off the D800’s weight. It feels great to hold a full-frame DSLR like this, which is barely any heavier or more conspicuous than an APS-C shooter like the D7000. Nikon is also making a big deal out of the fact that the D600 handles wireless transfers and triggers using the new WU-1b widget, which is identical to the familiar WU-1a we reviewed on the D3200 except that it plugs into the camera’s USB port rather than the HDMI port. There’s an Android app to allow your mobile device to communicate with the camera, and an iOS app is set to land by the end of September. Read on a few more initial impressions and a quick look at the D600’s high-ISO performance. Although on paper the D600 has the same ISO rating (100 to …

Nikon has launched the Coolpix S01, a miniature compact camera built around tiny 10MP sensor. The S01 uses a 1/3″-type CCD sensor – a size more commonly found in smartphones to allow it to offer a 29-87mm equivalent zoom in a device just 77 x 51 x 17mm in size (3.1 x 2.1 x 0.7″). It features a 2.5″, 230k dot touchscreen and uses a built-in battery (rated at around 190 shots) and 7.3 GB of internal memory. It will cost around $ 179.99.
Nikon has revealed the Coolpix 7700 a CMOS-based enthusiast compact camera with class-leading zoom lens. Its 28-200mm lens has a maximum aperture range of F2.0-4.0, making it a whole stop brighter than its predecessor, the P7100’s. The P7700 is built around a 1/1.7″-type 12MP back-illuminated CMOS sensor, enabling 1080p30 video and 8fps shooting. The bigger lens means there’s no room for an optical viewfinder but the P7700 gains a flip-out swivel LCD instead. We’ve had a chance to handle the P7700 and have prepared a preview looking at the changes.
