I have pre-ordered the Z8 through Nikon Professional Services. I should have it shortly. Expect a field review after using it on a few event assignments. In the meantime, here are some Nikon produced launch presentation videos:
After receiving the Nikon Z5II, I immediately took it out for a test drive. I could not be more pleased with the results of this little gem of a camera. Check back often since I will be adding to this collection periodically.
Let me know in the comments if you have any questions.
This latest release takes the version number from 1.9.1 to 1.10.0.
The following changes are included with this update:
October 7th was the annual harvest moon. Where I was located, the atmosphere was very clear so I thought I would take out the Nikon COOLPIX P1100 and see what I could capture. This image has not been cropped and the P1100 was fully racked out at 3000mm. It was run through Topaz with noise reduction and minor sharpening.
Using his Nikon Z9, photographer Prasenjeet Yadav gets the October 2025 cover shot for National Geographic Magazine.
From Nat Geo: “Prasenjeet Yadav had one goal: capture the perfect image of a pseudo-melanistic tiger for his story on India’s Similipal Tiger Reserve. Easier said than done.” Well maybe easier said than done with another camera, but not if you have the Nikon Z9.
Here, you will find everything I could scrape together about this gem of a camera. I love my Nikon Z6II mirrorless camera. I hope this page serves as an inspiration as to what can be accomplished with the Z6II.
Nikon is no longer producing or selling the SB-500 Speedlight small flash unit. I have the flash and I use it for family events. It’s small and light and is powered by 2 double AA batteries.
I find it really strange that Dpreview has the Nikon P1000 listed on their current MOST POPULAR CAMERAS list which is based on cameras that are frequently mentioned, discussed, or purchased by their readership, indicating high interest or demand from photographers. If the P1000 has been replaced, why isn’t the COOLPIX P1100 being mentioned more due to the fact that it is the newer replacement model.
Again, first reported by Robert G Allen Photography, new firmware for the Z8. The changes in version 3.10 are as follows:
With a release date of October 2020, the Z7II offers plenty of opportunity for updates and changes, much of which are overdue. Just like the Z6III, I think similar changes could be made to the Z7II to bring it up to date with the release of the Z7III. Here is what I think could the specs of a refreshed Nikon Z7II could be.
Considering what has happened recently, I thought I would share a few of my photos of Charlie Kirk. Back in 2020, I was retained to provide photography coverage at a Turing Point USA event. These are a few of the photos from that event. This post is in no way endorsing or being critical of certain political views. It is only to share photos from a photography event assignment.
Today, as first reported by Robert G Allen Photography, Nikon releases major new firmware 2.0 for the Nikon Z6III camera.
Welcome to Robert G Allen Photography. I'm a professional multi-disciplinary commercial freelance photographer based in the Pacific Northwest and a Nikon DSLR Enthusiast.
While my career has primarily been as an event photographer, this website represents other areas of photography for which I have professional competency and enjoyment. The resulting front page gallery and single subject galleries are the result of a combination of client assignments and personal areas of interest.
Within a few days of taking delivery of the complete professional f/2.8 zoom trio, Nikon announced the new NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S II, replacing the original NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S lens I had just purchased. For now, I’m staying with the original 24-70 f/2.8 Z lens for now, mostly due to the price difference. Once the novelty wares off and the price comes down on the new version, I’m sure I will eventually purchase the II version and sell the original one.
