One of the things I’ve been really impressed with on the D4 is the improved focusing. And so I paid a visit to The Chilterns to photograph the Red Kites that dominate the skies there, and put the new camera to the test. The results, simply put, were nothing short of phenomenal. Having spent a [...]
There’s no denying that Nikon moving away from two compact flash slots on the D4 has been met with some criticism. And I was one of the unimpressed people thinking about the need to carry two different sets of memory about. But, when you see this new technology in action clearing over 70 RAW files [...]
I’ve not had the D4 long but thought I’d share a few initial thoughts and comparisons between it and the D3s that have stood out for me so far, talking about the ergonomics, a couple of viewfinder changes, a quick high ISO test against the D3s (with RAW file downloads) and more. I’ll also point [...]
So, it’s launch is not far off now but I’ve just had the chance to do a pre-production review of the new Nikon D800 (much in the same style as my pp D4 review) to see if this 36mp beast is as good as some would say, or bad as others would! One things for [...]

And I made full use of my time, including asking about the ISO [...]

If you follow my Twitter or Facebook feeds you’ll [...]
The D7000 is the first Nikon DSLR to shoot 1080p, and also has a really nice button layout to access video. But what of the dreaded rolling shutter? Following on from my high ISO samples, here is a quick 1080p video to show the rolling shutter effect at it’s worst on the D7000, as it’s [...]
I’ve had a brief play with the Nikon D7000 and I thought it might interest some of you to see some quick HIGH ISO samples. I tested against the D300 and have included both %100 crops and full resolution NEFs & jpegs so you can have a play with them yourself and make your own [...]
