As the Nikon COOLPIX P1100 comes online, Nikon retires the COOLPIX P1000 from their lineup.

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.

I did have the P1000 for awhile but found the auto focus not very reliable. When the P1100 was released, I purchased it and found the AF improved over the P1000 and decided to keep it.

Will Nikon release a Nikon Z7III? I think so and here are the possible rumored specs of the Nikon Z7III (Updated 09/13/2025 with new sensor spec)

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.

Charlie Kirk event photos

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.

I love seeing all that Nikon gear hanging from her in the movie poster for the documentary Love and War, a doc about Lynsey Addario as she covers the Ukraine war and other conflicts around the world. The movie is produced by Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin.

With the 2026 Olympic Winter Games 6 months away, could that also be the timeline for the release of the Nikon Z9II?
With the 2026 Olympic Winter Games 6 months away, could that also be the timeline for the release of the Nikon Z9II?

I was reminded recently that the winter Olympics in Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy were only 6 months away. And 6 months seems like a reasonable timeline for the release of the Z9II. What better timing I thought than right before the Olympic games!

Today, Nikon issued new firmware updates for both the flagship D6 DSLR and D780 DSLR

These are very limited firmware updates but it’s good to know that Nikon is still caring about their legacy DSLR cameras, at least currently. I have owned and used both of these cameras and they are both DSRL perfected. I would have stayed with the D6 but the shutter was too loud!
