NIKON D4 rumors give an idea about its specification
http://www.nikond4review.com/ For More check out: http://www.nikond4review.com/
Nikon has promised to provide us with the most beneficial DSLR camera for a long time now, but the good news is we don’t have to wait long for Nikon D4 now it will be out soon. There is so much competition in the marketplace that sometime it gets very hard to choose which one is the best however, Nikon D4 rumors predict that this unit will give you high-end functioning and is just perfect. Although it might also have features that have already been introduced in other D series but as an addition there are a few new specifications along with the improved ones.
If you talk about the menu, it has been observed through Nikon D4 rumors that the unit will function with the 6 menu program which will make the task of handling the camera much easily and even the beginners can learn and appreciate its easy to use manual.
Apart from this Nikon D4 rumors predict that the unit might have a burst mode of 2.5 fps, which has the ability to reach up to hundred pictures. There is also some great Nikon D4 rumors attached to the unit that I really wish are true, Nikon D4 is usually identified as the low light monster, you may ask why? Nikon D4 will have a flash off configuration mode that will lead to kill the flash and as a result ISO will be increased. With an improved ISO level you can well image how beneficial this camera will be for low light configuration. It is also expected that the unit will come up with an amazing 3x zoom lens also along with this a better AF functioning. The AF systems will not only be improved but is completely new. This is one thing that is predicted by most of the Nikon D4 rumors so it most probably will be true.
There is a lot of buzz about the soon to be launched Nikon D4; so far it is expected to be the best of the D series. I know there is great anticipation to know more and more about the unit. Updated Nikon D4 rumors will provide you with all of what you are looking for.
To start off let me tell you that it has been found through the Nikon D4 rumors that the unit will most probably have a Titanium or carbon fiber body, which is very typical. It will be equipped with 16.2mp/ 35mm 7.8μm sensor, if this rumor is true then eventually there will be will some great outcome. D3 can be perfectly replaced by Nikon D4 if it carries off well.
Nikon D4 rumors also predict a better ISO performance, however if will be quiet similar to the current D3S but with a relatively extended latitude on the low end. This is also because of the fact that the unit will incorporate Dual CPU resulting straight away in high ISO rendering. This means that we can expect an ISO 6400 file as ISO 400 provided it is shot at night.
The frame rate is predicted as 10fps in FX, which is great. Those of you who have been very eager to know about the video feature Nikon D4 rumors show that the device will support 2K HD video. I am sure most of you are more then happy with this. The AF system will most probably be improved, since most Nikon D4 rumors indicate that the AF points might cover the complete viewfinder at around 80 to 102 AF points. This means that the newly designed AF system will only highlight the selected area so that the finder is not cluttered.
There is much more to Nikon D4 that will be only disclosed with its ultimate release. Lets hope that the best Nikon D4 rumors are actually true.

Digital-SLR camera Nikon D3100
August 19, 2010
An entry level digital-SLR camera with a new CMOS image sensor, image-processing engine and helpful Guide mode that makes capturing beautiful images easy
TOKYO – Nikon Corporation is pleased to announce the release of the Nikon D3100, an entry level Nikon DX-format digital-SLR camera. The camera is equipped with a new CMOS image sensor developed by Nikon and a new image-processing engine that enable capture of high-definition images exhibiting superior image quality, and a Guide mode that allows users to capture images just as they intended.
The following lens kit will also be released.
D3100 and AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR
A new DX-format CMOS image sensor developed by Nikon and the new image-processing engine, EXPEED 2, have been adopted for the new D3100, enabling capture of images exhibiting excellent image quality and definition. The D3100 has also inherited Guide mode from the D3000, with the addition of more options and assist images that make the camera easier to understand and operate. The D3100 is also equipped with a live view function that allows the user to frame images in the monitor, and the D-Movie function that provides support for high-definition movie recording. While the D3100 offers authentic digital-SLR camera performance, it is also an extremely lightweight digital-SLR camera from which even beginners can expect beautiful images that accurately reflect their shooting intent.
D3100 primary features
1. A new DX-format CMOS image sensor and image-processing engine, EXPEED 2, both developed by Nikon enable capture of high-definition images with superior image quality
| The D3100 is equipped with a new Nikon DX-format CMOS image sensor and a new image-processing engine, EXPEED 2, both developed by Nikon. The CMOS image sensor offers an effective pixel count of 14.2-million pixels (D3000: CCD image sensor with 10.2-million effective pixels) and enables capture of high-definition images exhibiting superior image quality with extremely detailed rendering and rich tones. The camera also makes the most of its standard sensitivity settings up to ISO 3200 (D3000: ISO 100–1600) and additional increases up to HI 2 (ISO 12800 equivalent), with shooting under dim lighting, such as in the evening or indoors, as well as with sports scenes of rapidly moving subjects. EXPEED 2 is Nikon's new image-processing engine, developed by refining the concepts, know-how and technologies regarding digital images that Nikon has spent years cultivating. It maximizes the performance of the CMOS image sensor to suppress noise in still images and movies and produces images that faithfully reproduce vivid colors. |
2. A refined Guide mode that is even easier to use
| Guide mode has been refined to make most camera operations even easier, from shooting to image playback and editing to the application of camera settings, regardless of the user's skill level. The D3100 displays assist images that show the effect of various camera settings, giving users an idea of the results they can expect with specified settings. For example, when "Soften backgrounds" is selected and an aperture value is specified, the assist image displayed in the monitor changes to show the effect that aperture setting will have on images. This allows users to confirm that images will appear as they intended prior to shooting and reduces the number of unsuccessful shots. |
Assist image sample
Other new functions built into Guide mode
|
3. Live view mode that allows users to use the camera monitor to easily frame still image or movies
| By simply rotating the live view switch, the view through the lens is displayed in the monitor, enabling immediate live view recording. This makes shooting feel more like shooting with a compact digital camera, easing the transition to digital-SLR for beginners. In addition, various information such as the shooting mode, time remaining (movie mode) and battery indicator, can be shown in the live view display. |
4. D-Movie for recording and editing full-HD movies and AF-F (full-time servo AF) focus mode for movie recording
| The D3100 is equipped with the D-Movie function that enables recording of high-definition movies (with monaural sound) by simply pressing the movie-record button. Movies can be recorded with the same aperture and other settings applied in Guide mode, and movies that take full advantage of the characteristics of individual interchangeable lenses, whether wide-angle, telephoto or fisheye, can be recorded for movies that are only possible with a digital-SLR camera. In addition, the camera also offers an AF-F (full-time servo AF) focus mode for movie recording. When AF-F mode is enabled, the camera focuses continuously during movie recording without the need for holding the shutter-release button down halfway. The D3100 also offers in-camera movie editing functions that allow users to save a single frame as a still image or delete unnecessary portions from the beginning or end of movie files. |
5. Scene auto selector built in
| The D3100 is equipped with the scene auto selector function. When live view mode is enabled in Auto or Auto (flash off) mode, the camera automatically analyzes the scene and selects the appropriate shooting mode from Portrait, Landscape, Close up or Night portrait.* This function allows users achieve the intended images while leaving all settings up to the camera. |
- *:
- Scene auto selector is disabled with manual focusing.
Other functions and features new to the D3100
- Equipped with a face detection function capable of detecting up to 35 human faces (D3000: up to 5 faces)
- Operation has been improved with the addition of an independent movie-record button and release-mode selector. In addition, the rubber grip provides a better fit.
- Equipped with a Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) bus that enables remote control playback of images and movies recorded with the camera when the camera is connected to a high-definition TV
- Equipped with a new exposure compensation algorithm for greater flexibility and performance with NEF (RAW) processing
- The new ViewNX 2 software is bundled with the D3100

Successors to the 58 AF-1 and 48 AF-1, the latest models feature metal mounts with enhanced locking systems for faster mounting and wider angle diffusers for focal lengths from 12 mm equivalent. The AF-2 designation of the 58 AF-2 flashgun indicates it can now act as a wireless flash master for cameras without a built-in master function, meanwhile the number 50 in 50 AF-1 reflects a power increase to guide number to 50.
The top model in the Metz compact flash unit range has been further improved with numerous optical and functional features. The successor to the mecablitz 58 AF-1 which won the EISA Award for "best flash unit in Europe 2007/2008" has been equipped with a new stable metal base which can be attached to the camera flash shoe quickly and easily with one single movement thanks to the optimised lock system.

Thus the mecablitz 58 AF-2 digital offers servo flash release functionality via the integrated camera flash which is also perfectly compatible with cameras without master function. The slave/servo sensor has been integrated into the front of the flash unit to increase the transmission quality of wireless flashes. The wide-angle diffuser has also been adapted for illumination of wide-angle focal widths from 12 mm (135 format). Like all mecablitz system flash units, the new flash unit is available in different versions, perfectly tailored to digital cameras made by the leading manufacturers.

Touch Of Gold
I thought I would take some jewellery shots, got up in the morning and went to Ikea intending to buy a black plastic board so that i might get some nice reflection. We spent a long time at Ikea and finally all we did was have some nice meat balls and a fillet of cod :) and came back home without any reflective surface. It was when I reached home that I noticed that our TV stand is black and reflective so thought I would give it a shot.
This shot is taken with 105mm lens with a long exposure of 0.01sec ISO 200 during which I painted on some light using a small LED torch. I always take my photos in RAW format and camera in 'Manual' mode. I downloaded it with Nikon transfer, imported it to Lightroom 3, adjusted white balance, contrast, fill light, vibrance and saturation and then exported it to photoshop CS5 using Cmd+E (Mac) or Ctrl+E (Win). In photoshop, I added a frame and adjusted the curves. You can view the Exif info over here:
