I guess Nikon's current quarter's performance looks so dismal that it needs a shot to cheer itself up even on the day of its 100th anniversary.

Should be photo of the week.

Yes, when it is bad (fails manufacturer chip test), you discard it. Period. The chips, whatever they are (sensor, CPU, graphics), have two kinds of circuits/components - digital or analog. Digital ...

Yes, you can call it sensor of a lower version, or lower grade, to be exactly. It is like Intel processors or Nvidia graphics chips. They all start with the same wafer, go through the same ...

Has anybody used this combination for wildlife? A family member has M5 and thinking of buying the Tamron lens for Katmai bear watching this coming September. Please share your experience. Thanks.

I am not holding my breath. Patents like this take decade(s) to turn into a commercial reality if that ever happens.

I will just wait for "photo of the week" to show up here.

Yes, nothing substantial was said about Nikon's mirrorless product development yet. But the response to DPReview's inquiry is a sign, in my view, that Nikon is ready for the mirrorless product ...

How about "Photo of the week by Google Street View"?

Canon has gained a good share of MILC market and Nikon just declared their intention. I don't think they are doing this just for fun.

In my opinion K01 took the crown of pedestrian APS-C mirrorless cameras and probably will hold it forever.

Somehow I got the feeling that DP Review unknowingly threw the first pitch for Nikon's mirrorless camera campaign.

The two biggest boys are now realized that they need a foot on the MILC bandwagon to maintain its position.

It is a chick-n-egg thing and you have to start somewhere. MILC actually presents Ricoh a perfect opportunity to reboot its camera business. Build the camera body with a new non-K lens mount and a ...

Just by the nature of less components, mirrorless camera should have a shorter product development cycle. In addition I think the work done on the half-baked DL line should have laid a solid ...

As a matter of fact, I saw the cancellation of the DL line a sign that Nikon was dead serious about MILC. The DL line was the victim when Nikon decided to speed up mirrorless camera's timetable.

The point to take is Nikon officially working on mirrorless. Ignore the rest of the statements.. It is the standard marketing practice about future products. Admit what can't be denied but be as ...

But who has screwed up most?

The cat is out of the bag now. FF mirrorless may not be the first product but I think it will get there and fast. It is possible that we will see an APS-C mirrorless from Nikon before the end of ...

Just wonder how many of these shots can be taken with a smartphone. I have a couple of high-end smartphones but never take a shot with them. Maybe it is time to find out.
