Nikon Next

Nikon has released a new website today, Nikon Next. Nikon states the following  purpose for this website: "As the environment surrounding photography and imaging continue to evolve, Nikon Next, developed by Nikon Imaging Company, will present various forms of the future of digital age photo imaging expression.” Having tried this site and attempted to view the works of various photographers I have to say Nikon needs to go back to the drawing board on this one. I found the site to be slow (perhaps because of the launch) and difficult to navigate. I love viewing other photographers work but this site makes an enjoyable task a new challenge. As it stands now, Nikon Next will be my last stop for Nikon News.

Great Deals on the Nikon D40 Kit

With the announcement of the new Nikon D5000 there have been some great deals on the Nikon D40 body and kit. I have seen it as low as $409 and it is currently $429. The D40 has ended production in Japan and the UK and will likely follow suit here in the USA. Get this great camera at a great deal before it is gone.
