Camera eyecups for Canon, Nikon, Pentax and Olympus SLR cameras. Most photographers really like having one on their camera. My favorite thing is that it makes the viewfinder readout easy to see even on bright and sunny days. The metal piece slips onto the eyepiece of your camera. A matching eyecup will prevent [...]
BestBuy has listed the Nikon D800E on their website and you can now order it. I checked several different zip codes and the availability was 5-7 days (shipped to your local Best Buy store). The D800E was previously not listed on BestBuy.com. The D800 and D4 are still listed as “sold out online“. Here for [...]

It’s not clear if Nikon will just use the 1″ sensor from their mirrorless line or they will go with a new 1.5″ sensor similar to the G1X. The current Coolpix P7100 camera has 1/1.7″ CCD sensor. For [...]

The latest officially announced firmware update for the D700 was A/B 1.02. Maybe Nikon is about to release the new 1.03 version? Related posts: D3 Firmware Update 2.01, D700 Firmware Update [...]
