Written By Robert G Allen Photography

Steve Perry from Back Country Gallery put together a review of the Nikon D6 awhile back and I thought I would share it here while I work on my D6 review. Let me know your thoughts in the comments below on what you think of Steve’s evaluation. I can tell you one thing, I sure agree with his comment about how loud the shutter is!

Review of the Nikon D6 DSLR camera

Steve Perry: It's finally here - my massive review of the Nikon D6! This is a wildlife photography review of the camera - and it was really intense! This D6 review covers build, ergonomics, autofocus, sensor performance, customizations, and more.
Too create the review, we took the camera all across the west shooting wildlife for about five weeks total and shot well over 16,000 shots. If you're a wildlife photographer looking for a serious, real-world review of the Nikon D6, sit back and enjoy!

Today, Nikon issues new firmware for the Z8 digital camera

Changed the default values for the following settings displayed when connecting wirelessly:

- Encryption keys
- The password displayed after the camera's default settings are restored

• Fixed the following issues:

- Green color casting occurred with some pictures taken.
- The date and time set in camera sometimes would not be correctly applied.
- Using [Picture review] to view an image in a “tall” (portrait) orientation and zooming in the image prevented the display from being scrolled to the intended direction with multi selector or sub-selector.
- After a firmware update, the eye sensor sometimes would not function and the viewfinder would not turn on.
- The “i” menu would sometimes remain in the viewfinder when it was looked through after the shutter-release button was pressed halfway to exit the “i” menu viewed in the monitor.

DPReview selects the Nikon Z8 product of the year
DPReview selects the Nikon Z8 product of the year

DPReview today announced their product of the year: the Nikon Z8!

”The Nikon Z8 is our product of the year for exactly the same reason it's our High-End Camera of the year: it brings the same capabilities that Nikon delivers to its pro audience in a camera that dedicated enthusiasts might be able to get hold of. It's slightly smaller than Nikon's DSLR standard bearer, the D850, while outperforming it in almost every way. Cameras continue to evolve, and we suspect more affordable cameras will start to challenge the likes of the Z8 in terms of autofocus or speed or video capabilities, but as things stand, there are very few cameras that have ever offered the all-around strength that the Z8 exhibits.”
