Several key camera firmware and software updates recently issued by Nikon fix a variety of bugs and should bring an improved user experience for photographers. In all, the updates cover the Nikon V1 mirrorless camera, the professional Nikon D4 digital SLR, and the Capture NX 2 application that's available to accompany the company's various...
I started this series to simply demonstrate a well-known fact: that contrast detection autofocus in live view was more accurate than standard phase detection autofocus for still subjects. It ended up being a bit more than I’d bargained for, just with the Canon cameras. After that series was done, I promised several people that I would take a similar look at Nikon cameras. I also...
At the start of the year, a new flash card type debuted with the brand-new Nikon D4 digital SLR: the CompactFlash Association's XQD format. Six months later, and there is still just one XQD card manufacturer, only two cards available, and the Nikon D4 is still the sole camera that can accept them. Much of that is about to change, as two press releases from Sony and Lexar see a...
Nikon USA yesterday issued a firmware update for the Nikon D4 digital SLR that fixes several bugs, and improves operation in a number of areas.
Nikon D4 firmware version A:1.02 / B:1.02 includes the following changes, according to the release notes:

A lot of photographers are glad they took out LensRentals' damage waiver on equipment when accidents happen. While we hate losing equipment, I have to admit we sometimes enjoy reading about exactly how this lens or that camera returned in the shape it did. This weekend, though, we not only got one of the best stories of “how I broke your stuff”, but the photographer, Andrew Kane,...
DxO Labs has today announced an update to its flagship image processing application, DxO Optics Pro. The latest release marks a milestone for the company, taking the total number of optics modules for the program to an impressive six thousand, less than four months after it past the five thousand point. According to the company, it has shipped no less than 500 new camera body /...
Nikon's latest FX-format digital SLRs--the Nikon D4 and D800--both feature brand-new image sensors. We note with interest, then, that both models have recently completed DxO Labs' DxOMark sensor tests. DxO Labs is the company behind the Optics Pro image processing application, and they're rather uniquely-positioned to offer judgement on sensor performance.
We won't spoil the...
If you're based in the UK and you've recently preordered the upcoming Nikon D4 or Nikon D800 / D800E DSLRs, count yourself lucky: Nikon UK has just announced a price hike for both models, but it's promised to honor preorder pricing on orders received before March 24th.
The story broke last Friday on Sterling Publishing's Pixiq website, and has been confirmed in a statement...

In our time with Nikon's Toshiaki Akagi at CES 2012, we found our wide range of questions would be limited to the Nikon D4, so we turned it into another question and answer session while we had access to the General Manager of Design, using many questions from Twitter and a few left over from our Live Q&A earlier in the week. Also included in the meeting were Kenji Suzuki, who...
Nikon made a big splash right before the combined Consumer Electronics Show / Photo Marketing Association tradeshow kicked off, with the debut of their latest professional SLR, the Nikon D4. It's generated a huge amount of excitement and discussion in the last week, and so we sat down with Steve Heiner, Senior Technical Manager at Nikon Inc., for a lengthy public Q&A session...

(Update: The Q&As are both now over, but you can read the archived sessions in our Canon G1 X preview and Nikon D4 preview pages.)
If you have a...
