Nikon invokes spirit of Noctilux with 58mm f/1.4G premium lens

17 Oct

Nikon has announced the AF-S Nikkor 58mm f/1.4G, a premium standard prime for full frame SLRs that’s designed to deliver the best possible images, even at maximum aperture. It’s highly corrected for coma, meaning that point light sources are rendered correctly right across the frame, and is specifically designed to give an attractive rendition of out-of-focus regions of the image. It can also be used on Nikon’s DX format SLRs, on which it will behave like a classic 85mm ‘portrait’ lens. This all comes with a hefty price tag, though; $ 1699.95 / £1599.99. It’ll be on sale in selected retailers at the end of this month.

Nikon D5300 adds pixels, Wi-Fi, and GPS while leaving AA filter behind

17 Oct

Nikon has announced its new D5300 midrange DSLR which, as you might have gathered, is the follow-up to the D5200. New features include the omission of an AA filter from its 24MP CMOS sensor, a larger 3.2in articulated LCD and also a slightly larger optical viewfinder, 1080/60p video, and built-in Wi-Fi and GPS. Nikon claims that the D5300’s Expeed 4 processor improves performance (allowing for 5 fps burst shooting) and photo quality, while reducing power consumption. You’ll be able to pick up the D5300 this month, in your choice of black, red, or gray. Click through for more details.

Movin’ on up: Nikon D5300 first impressions review

17 Oct

d5300thumb.png

Nikon’s latest consumer DSLR, the D5300, evolves the design of its predecessor but raises the feature bar, bringing it closer to the D7100. In fact, it’s likely that the 24MP D5300 even uses the sensor of its big brother since it also lacks an AA filter. The D5300’s larger LCD and viewfinder serve to further close the gap, while built-in Wi-Fi, GPS, and 1080/60p video recording go beyond what the D7100 offers. We’ve had some time with a pre-production D5300, and you can click through to read our first impressions review.

Nikon Inc. has announced a lawsuit against Sakar International Inc. over the design of the Polaroid iM1836, a planned Android camera that bears a resemblance to one of the Nikon 1 series of mirrorless cameras.

The lawsuit seeks an injunction against both manufacture and sale of the Polaroid iM1836 digital camera.

Nikon launches D610 full-frame DSLR with updated shutter mechanism

08 Oct

D610_24_85_front34r.png

Nikon has announced the much-rumored D610 24MP full-frame DSLR. Coming just a year after the D600, the D610 appears to be a very minor refresh, with a quiet continuous shooting mode, improved white balance and faster continuous shooting touted as its major changes. Beyond this, the D610 is essentially the same camera as the D600 and, given its launch at the same $ 2000 SRP, it’s extremely likely that the D610 replaces the older camera.

The 24MP D610 is Nikon’s latest enthusiast-targeted full-frame DSLR. Coming fairly hot on the heels of the D600, the 610 gains a new shutter mechanism, which is responsible for two out of the camera’s three new features. We’ve had the chance to handle the D610 and have prepared a first impressions review of the refreshed enthusiast full framer.

DxOMark investigates lenses for the Nikon D7100

04 Oct

DxOMark-logo-520.jpg

Our friends and collaborators over at DxOMark have recently been looking into how lenses score on specific cameras, and the latest model they’ve examined is Nikon’s 24 MP APS-C flagship, the D7100. The article looks at no fewer than 126 lenses, and gauges the advantage of the D7100’s higher pixel count and lack of a low-pass filter compared to the 16MP D7000. As a bonus, there’s also an assessment of how the imaging performance of Nikon SLRs has improved over the last decade. Click through for the link.
