    The Nikon Camera Lens coffee mug is finally here

    Nikon diehards were no doubt a tad jealous when the Canon coffee mug broke cover earlier this year. But their wait is over. A preoder just went up on ebay for 8 Nikon lens mugs, although the buyers will have to wait until the end of June or mid of July before they can finally [...]

  • Nikon D4x concept looks boxy, unlikely

    Nikon D4x concept looks boxy, unlikely

    Nikon's next generation D4x should be arriving in the next year or so, and it's always fun to speculate what it will look like. I doubt this is even close, honestly. It is fun to see what industrial designers can come up with when they play though. Keep in mind this is not a actual Nikon design, but rather a speculation on what direction they could go in.

  • Nikon patents strange LCD screen

    Nikon patents strange LCD screen

    Patents are always so much fun, and such a source of random speculation. Take for example this new LCD display from Nikon. What could it be? Is it for a DLSR? Maybe for video? No one knows, and of course Nikon isn't talking, but it's interesting to put your best guess out there.

    JOBO announces updated two new photoGPS models

    Geotagging is pretty popular these days, but for the most part you have to buy an additional hardware. JOBO makes one such device, the photoGPS, that's been around for a while. They just announced two new versions, photoGPS 2 and the photoGPS 4. The new models offer improved reception, battery life, and storage. All in all a worthy successor to their original product.

    DIY: Nikon IR remote in a Lego

    Here's a little DIY project for you Nikon shooters out there. Certain models of the Nikon DSLR support IR remotes, but to buy an actual "Nikon" brand remote from your local camera shoppe will set you back around $40. Why not built one yourself instead?

  • Nikon developing a Canon G11 rival?

    Nikon developing a Canon G11 rival?

    The Canon PowerShot G series have always been one of the best compact shooters available. See that pic above? I shot that back in 2003 with a G3. Beautiful, isn't? That's Camp Tapico in Northern Michigan, where I spent every summer of my teenage life. Anyway, word on the street is that Nikon wants some of the action that the G series has enjoyed all by itself for so long. Better late then never, Nikon.

  • Nikon’s lens rebate program starting on the 28th

    Nikon’s lens rebate program starting on the 28th

    Get that wallet ready, Nikon's annual instant rebate program is starting on the 28th. Pretty much always a good deal, Nikon loves to tempt the weak with their instant rebate offers on lenses and gear that they roll out on a yearly basis. Case in point - I bought my D300 back in 2008 (with the oh so popular 18-200 VR) and justified it to my wife as a "really great deal" because of the rebate. Luckily she's a patient woman, and we're still married.
