Compact System Camera - Cases
A new range from Lowepro fills a gap, that up to now has been a huge annoyance. At last, a collection of appropriately sized camera bags designed specifically for CompactSystem Cameras and their accessories.
My Weekend with the Nikon 1 J1
I took a Nikon 1 J1 home on the weekend: I'd really wanted to get my hands on one of these ever since they were announced a couple of months back.
The first thing that stood out to me was the build. The weight and balance of this camera is not only impressive, it's perfect. There is substance to the camera. It's not that the J1 is heavy, it's just a great feel, something lacking in most cameras today as they get smaller and smaller.
Using the camera is a breeze, I favour another brand, often is the case that you get so used to a menu layout it makes moving to another brand somewhat of a trial. But the Nikon 1's menu system is so well thought out, so intuitive, that using the camera was quite simply a breeze.
My one disappointment was using the Nikon 1 J1's screen in bright sunlight. My eyes just aren't what they used to be. So... It's the Nikon 1 V1 for me, where I'll get both an eye-level viewfinder and a big 3inch LCD screen like the Nikon 1 J1.

Melbourne Spring Fashion Week
Lighting in a runway event is notoriously tricky, but Peter was quick to add it was nothing his Nikon couldn't handle.

The Roof of Melbourne & the Nikon D90
It was Nikon D90 night last night. All those fortunate early adopters were given personal instruction by the ever entertaining Shelton Muller while we strolled through Melbourne at sun down on our way to a mystery destination.
With a couple of stunning models by our side we took in the awesome low-light capabilities of the D90 and saw the amazing advantages of wireless multi flash.
We then wound up on the roof of Melbourne at the Rialto towers 360 degree observation deck. Damn if one of our players finds himself back at work at the end of the day. (He works in Rialto Towers, some mystery.)

A fun and enlightening evening.

Photokina 2008
Photokina 2008 is just around the corner.
The Photo Industry’s bi-annual trade-show, much anticipated by industry members, gets underway toward the end of September.
With the usually touted plethora of new releases, hot products and innovations, CameraAction will have our own man on the ground to sort it out. We’ll be reporting back daily with what’s hot and with what’s not.
Some of the promises.
I’m looking forward to the release of the Olympus Micro FourThirds range. We already know about the Nikon D90 and the Canon 5D? (mk III?, 7D?, Eclipse?, evolution?), new lens ranges, I’m sure Sony will take this opportunity to release a new MemoryStick with a new set of consonants for a name.
Photokina 2008 September 23 – 28, Klon Germany. (Yes, the home of 4711 Ice Cologne.)

Nikon D90. So close I can taste it.
2 Weeks away...Inspired by Nikon’s acclaimed flagship DX-format digital SLR camera, the D300, and building on the success of the wildly popular D80, the D90 delivers stunning image quality.
The CMOS image sensor and 12.3 effective megapixels combined with Nikon’s exclusive EXPEED image processing system deliver outstanding images with fine details, smooth tones, brilliant colors and low noise across a broad ISO range. Photographers are able to easily compose stunning images using the Live View Mode on the large 3-inch 920,000-dot high-resolution LCD screen. The 11-point auto focus (AF) system utilizes Nikon's exclusive Scene Recognition System and Face Detection to help make the best shot in a variety of environments. Matched with the new versatile AF-S NIKKOR 18-105mm Vibration Reduction (VR) image stabilization lens, and a burst rate of up to 4.5 frames per second, photographers can confidently capture fast action and precise moments as they unfold. Also helping to ensure no memory is missed, the D90 offers fast handling with a power-up time of a mere 0.15ms and split-second shutter response measuring just 65ms, eliminating the frustration of pictures lost to shutter lag.

Nikon D700
Wow.. what a night the Nikon D700 pre-launch at Camera House digital was a huge success. Images after the break.
