While the Nikon D4, D800 and Canon 5D mark III have all seen their respective, and rather extraordinary, time in the review spotlight, aside from the 5D3, they have yet to get their collective Phillip Bloom stamp of approval and usually thorough head to head video capability comparison. But finally, although fashionably-late, we now the latest and greatest unscientific/real-world full-frame shootout, sure to give pixel-peepers their fill for the foreseeable future.
Seemingly following the normal track down the road of an eventual release, the D600 talk is getting louder and louder with each passing week as the credible folks at Nikon Rumors continue to compile information from trusted sources regarding Nikon’s apparent jump into the entry level full frame market.
Every now and again, one of the uber-rare Nikkor 6mm f/2.8 fisheyes make an appearance and set the inter-webs abuzz due to its extreme rarity, unique characteristics and oh yeah, that bank account breaking estimated price-tag of $160,000.00.
The latest case of its resurgence came just weeks ago, when Amateur Photographer was the first to report the legendary lenses’ availability for purchase at Grays of Westminster, a renowned UK retailer who houses goods solely catered to the Nikon shooter.
While Canon has been thoroughly entrenched in a highly-publicized 5D Mark III hardware faux pa, a problem that the company has just now corrected, it seems as though Nikon will have a few service issues of their own to contend with as well, confirming that a “small number” of D4s and D800s have the tendency to “lock-up” and become unresponsive.
Ever since Nikon Rumors first got the proverbial ball rolling on the Nikon D600 talk, more and more information has been emerging, adding a dash of presumed credibly to the rumor with each passing update. Yesterday, we were greeted with more Nikon entry-level full-frame talk, this time from Italian website marsicalive.it, revealing the possibility that Aptina Imaging, not Sony, will be in charge of designing Nikon’s next full-frame CMOS sensor.
Ever since Amateur Photographer first broke the news of a rare Nikkor 6mm f/2.8′s sighting in London, the inter-webs have been abuzz, resulting in an exorbitant amount of attention and, undoubtedly, the means for which a lens of this price could be so promptly departed with.
Nikon’s decision to pump medium format-esque megapixels into the D800 left somewhat of a void in the camera maker’s product line. While its numbered distinction would classify it as a clear D700 successor on paper, many believe it has lost the broad spectrum appeal its predecessor enjoyed. In fact, Nikon themselves has openly declared the D800 as “a whole new category of camera” and not an actual D700 replacement it was presumed to be.
Today, Nikon released an official service notice regarding their EN-EL15 Lithium-Ion Batteries, issuing a recall on a certain number of units which are used in the D7000, D800, D800E, and Nikon 1 V1 cameras.
While it seems as so those users have yet to experience an issue, Nikon is claiming a small number of EN-EL15 batteries are subject to overheating, so much so in fact that the exterior casing may “become deformed” as a result of the heat.
Every once in a blue moon, one of the only few hundred in existence and incredibly expensive Nikkor 6mm f/2.8′s come out of the woodworks and makes an appearance, hoping to capitalize on its reported rarity and cash-in as a result. The latest sighting of Nikon’s legendary fisheye comes from London, where Amateur Photographer (AP) was informed by Gray Levett, co-founder of Grays of Westminster, that he spotted the immense piece of glass “around seven weeks ago” on an overseas trip.
