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.

A Field Guide to All 15 Firmware Updates for the Nikon Z9. Is this even the same camera that was originally released?

With yet another Z9 firmware release (ver 5.30), I thought I would put together a comprehensive guide to all 15 of the Z9 updates to date. This also serves as a historical record of how far the Z9 has come, starting with its firmware at birth with version 1.00 upon release.

Nikon is getting ready to sunset their Nikon Z6II and Z5 cameras
Nikon is getting ready to sunset their Nikon Z6II and Z5 cameras

With Nikon’s latest refresh of their USA website today, the Z6II and the Z5 cameras are now just footnotes, literally (see screenshots below). If you are thinking of purchasing any of these 2 cameras, you should do it soon since both have been demoted to a small hyperlink at the bottom of their successors listing at Nikon’s website as shown below in red boxes. With both having been released in 2020, I think the current asking price is still way over their market value given how old they are.

Will the Nikon Z9 II be tested during the 2026 Olympic Winter Games?

I was reminded recently that the winter Olympics in Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy were only 2 months away. And 2 months seems like a reasonable timeline for the release of the Z9 II in 2026. What better timing I thought than right before the Olympic games!

A Brief Review of the Nikon COOLPIX P950 Camera
A Brief Review of the Nikon COOLPIX P950 Camera

Overall, I highly recommend the Nikon P950 camera for what it’s intended for, zooming in on a faraway subject. If your subject is in good light, and you make sure AF is locked on, you will be rewarded with photos that are perfectly acceptable for website use, social media and even for making prints to frame and hang in your home.

SONY Puts Pressure On The Auto Focus Abilities Of The Nikon Z9II With The Release Of Firmware Version 4.0 For Their A1 II And A9 III Cameras
SONY Puts Pressure On The Auto Focus Abilities Of The Nikon Z9II With The Release Of Firmware Version 4.0 For Their A1 II And A9 III Cameras

As I have written before, with the release of the Canon (R1) and SONY’s (A1 II and A9 III) flagship cameras, Nikon now has the receipt they need to make sure the Z9II eclipses both of those competing flagship cameras. This sounds easy enough since they now have the answer as to what specs the Z9II needs to have. But, both SONY and Canon cameras abilities are not static due to the option of firmware updates. And that’s exactly what just happened with both of SONY’s flagship cameras.

Behind the Scenes with Nikon Ambassador Joe McNally with the new NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S II lens (and BTS video)

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.
