Is Nikon abandoning their own ambassadors? I was on their ambassador webpage at https://www.nikonusa.com/nikon-ambassadors and noticed that some content had been removed from a few of the profiles but wasn’t sure what had changed. Upon further observation, I noticed that all references to their websites and any other related links have been removed from all of the ambassador profiles.
Also, all photos of their equipment are way outdated! The majority of the photos show that most Nikon ambassadors are still using D series camera bodies such as D5s and D300s.
How does this compare to Canon’s equivalent program, Explorers of Light? There’s no comparison at all! All Canon EOLs profiles are current and reference their websites and social media links and include a video profile for most members. As for gear, the R system of course is listed for most (upon further review, some EOLs are showing that they are using D series bodies and lenses. I’m not sure how accurate that is).
I’m not sure what Mike Corrado is thinking, but it’s obvious that he no longer cares much about the ambassador program or its members. What a shame. It use to be a honor to be included in such a prestigious group. Not any more I guess.

I have finally setup my first single topic portfolio on aviation. Aviation is one of the subjects that I seek out, both when at home and while traveling. It’s been a passion of mine for a long time. Hence, I have accumulated a lot of portfolio worthy content from shooting mostly airplanes over the years.
Watch as Andrew Hancock discusses his approach to capturing the largest sporting event in the world and why he has with him no less than 5 Nikon Z9 cameras.
As we all know now, Nikon announced the Z8, a slimmed down version of the Z9 and a modern version of the original Nikon D850 DSLR. Let’s compare the specs between all 3 cameras.

Nikon recently released their 2026 financial statements for their fiscal year (April 1, 2025 to March 31, 2026) and this year’s results do not look good. And when comparing this year to last year, it’s even more menacing. Let’s examine my concerns in more detail.
Travel to the moon. Soar with the birds. Or keep your feet on the ground and explore the tiny details of nature—all with one extraordinary portable camera, the Nikon COOLPIX P1100.
