Missed the D7000 launch, but went to Amsterdam, played the tourist, met my grandson and “tested” the D7000, Pentax 645D at Photokina

by gerard.prins on Nov 18, 2010 in Nikon Cameras, User Experiences • Leave a comment »
Yup, I’ve been off of the radar for quite a while. We spent most of September in Amsterdam, to meet my first grandchild, hook up with the family and do tourist–stuff. I also went to the Photokina in Cologne, held both the new Nikon D7000 and Pentax 645D while I also bought some gear. So: I have a lot to talk about. more »

Sometimes we run into "Cool Stuff" by accident, as I did with this piece of camera equipment. However, I will start looking more conciously for particularly "cool" gadgets that might interest you and will try to post my "finds" on a regular basis.The Go-Pro HERO is a high performance, wearable, waterproof 1080p HD video and still photo camera... more »

The rumors were not too far off: Nikon launch the D3100 with the 18-55 mm f/3.5-5.6G VR.

by gerard.prins on Aug 19, 2010 in Nikon Cameras, NikoNews, Rumors • Leave a comment »
Again, as predicted by Nikon Rumors, today Nikon launched its new entry level D3100 DSLR with almost exactly the same core specs as rumored.The surprise for me, however, is that the D3100 includes GPS support, a novelty in entry level DSLR's and a feature which is - coincidentally - supported in the new Nikon View NX2 software with excellent Google Maps integration. more »

Nikon View: could it get any worse? A crash test review of View NX2.

by gerard.prins on Aug 18, 2010 in Software, GPS & Geo-tagging, Review • 12 comments »
I thought it could not get any worse after testing Capture NX2 and View NX1.5 a while ago, but I was wrong. NX2 is worse, at least from where I am standing. So much worse that I have not been able to thoroughly test it, not on Windows XP Pro x64 nor on a "standard" XP Pro 32 system. more »
