The image results I've seen on other forums with the new processor are impressive. I didn't realize until watching the video how much more improved the menus and controls are over the J4. I really hope that the next "V" body incorporates these tweaks and re-integrates the EVF.

From Slickdeals: eBay Daily Deal. Refurbished camera, lens, wireless adapter and case.

We were traveling light this day as we were on the legendary 17 Mile Drive near Carmel-by-the-Sea. This is the iconic Lone Cypress at Pebble Beach.

Just returned from the annual family trip that includes attending at least one professional baseball game in a new stadium. I was pretty pumped to try out my V2 with the 1 NIKKOR VR 70-300 f/4.5-5.6 at a ball game. This year was SoCal to watch the terrible Phillies in Los Angeles and San...

Reaching out to any SoCal folks. I'm going to be in the Huntington-Newport-Laguna beach area for July 4th with the family and looking for recommendations for best spots for fireworks. I've been heads down in a datacenter move (just finished day 1 of 3 and too wired to sleep) and haven't had much...

Didn't see that this was previously posted. Tamron is running a mail in rebate deal in the US right now. I can attest that the rebates were paid quickly when I bought my 24-70 and 70-200. More info here.

My wife and I were in Copenhagen a couple weeks ago. This was her first extended use of her new J4 with the kit 10-30mm PD-Zoom lens. The PD-Zoom is much better than the original 10-30mm and is a convenient walk-around focal length at 27-81mm FX equivalent. Below are a few examples - my favorite...

Not the most spectacular sunrise but how often do you get to enjoy it on the Charles Bridge in Prague? All captured with a Tamron 24-70/2.8 or 70-200/2.8.

Before I left Prague this morning, I went to the Charles Bridge at sunrise. I was pissed to see this gaggle of photographers acting as if they owned the bridge. The reason for the post is to gently remind each other to be a bit more aware of the impact and impression we leave as photographers...

Pretty interesting Kickstarter called QromaScan which combines software with a LED lightbox to scan prints. The app uses voice control to tag your images and build EXIF. Neat idea and I did back it in Kickstarter-speak. More info here.

I received my lightly used copy of the 1 NIKKOR VR 70-300 f/4.5-5.6 on Friday. My initial impressions were holy cr*p is it big. Second reaction was a big freaking grin on my face when I mounted it on my wife's J4 and started focusing. Wow, wow, wow. What a focal range: 189-810mm FX equivalent...

Spending a week-end with a close friend in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. I snuck out this morning to catch the sunrise from the boardwalk and beach.

Nikon D800 For sale is my D800. USA model, it comes with the original box, all supplied accessories and 2 additional Wasabi batteries. Less than 24k shutter actuations. I am the second owner and have used it for approximately 16 months. I've never had any issue or reason for concern - it has...

AF-S VR Zoom-Nikkor 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G IF-ED For sale is a clean copy of the AF-S VR Zoom-Nikkor 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G IF-ED. Excellent lens that has served me well. I would rate this a 9 out of 10. Even though it is variable aperture, I have never been disappointed. If I hadn't purchased the...

Nikon 28-105mm f/3.5-4.5D AF Micro Selling my well used copy of one of the most under-appreciated swiss army knife of FX lenses - the Nikon 28-105mm f/3.5-4.5D AF Micro. Small, light weight, pro-caliber with 1:2 macro capability. Comes with both caps and hood. I'd rate it a 8+ out of 10 as far...

From Slickdeals: B&H and Adorama are selling the Lexar Professional USB 3.0 Dual-Slot Card Reader for US$13 with free shipping. I have one of these and it is fantastic. To be honest since upgrading to a D800, I use the CF slot for overflow and it doesn't get much use these days.
