Revisiting Nikon’s Legendary D700 DSLR 15 Years After Its Release

My first digital ILC (interchangeable lens camera) was the Nikon D40, which I purchased during my senior year of high school in late 2007. That camera was followed by the Canon T2i (550D), which I bought in 2010, primarily because of Canon’s significantly more advanced video features; I have always been an active filmmaker as well as a photographer. Like most people, my first two lenses for each of these cameras were the kit 18-55mm zoom and a cheap nifty-fifty prime lens, so the cost of switching systems wasn’t exactly high.

Nikon D850 Will Be a ‘Baby Nikon D5’, Reports Say

The upcoming Nikon D850 will be a followup in name to the D810 from 2014, but it may actually be based on the flagship D5 instead of the D810. The D850 may be the materialization of a "baby D5" that has been murmured about in the rumor mill for a while.

This is What the Nikon D810 Looks Like After Burning Man

Nikon claims its pro-grade D810 DSLR has "superior" and extensive weather sealing that helps keep moisture and dust out, but that doesn't mean you should treat it as being dust-proof. The camera above shows why. It's a Nikon D810 that was taken to Burning Man.

My Slow Transition from Nikon to Sony

Well, I did it. I switched from Nikon to Sony. I never thought I would, especially after attempting the Sony camera system twice previously. But as it turns out, my issues with Sony cameras have been resolved, for the most part, thanks to the A7RII.

Nikon to Release Firmware Update That Will Make Its High-End DSLRs Better at Video

One of the big camera industry rumors this year that hasn't come to pass (yet) is the fancy new firmware update system Nikon reportedly has up its sleeve. Nikon Rumors still believes that leak to be legitimate.

Big firmware updates are coming though: Nikon announced today that it will be releasing major firmware updates this summer for a few of its high-end DSLRs that will make them more capable as filmmaking cameras.

If You Just Bought a D810, Check the Box for a Blue Dot to Make Sure the ‘Bright Spots’ Issue is Fixed

A couple of weeks ago, we told you about a service advisory Nikon had issued for the newly-released D810. Apparently, some D810 models were experiencing a 'thermal issue' wherein long exposures could cause bright spots to appear on your images.

Current D810 owners should check their serial numbers here, but if you're just now getting ready to buy one, there's actually a way to tell if the camera you're buying has had Nikon's fix applied.

Nikon Officially Unveils the D810: Touts the ‘Best Image Quality in Nikon History’

There are two ways to look at an incrementally improved DSLR: either the company missed an opportunity to improve something that has fallen behind the industry standard, or they are leaving well enough alone and not 'fixing it if it ain't broke,' so to speak.

Nikon's replacement for both the D800 and D800E, the D810, falls into that latter category: an incrementally improved DSLR that probably won't receive too much flack for it.
