Hasta La Gadget!

Nikon has introduced its latest and greatest HD-SLR (single-lens reflex) camera due to be ready for sale in March.
Compact and lightweight magnesium alloy body with a specially designed 24.1 megapixel image sensor, superior low-light performance, ultra-precise autofocus and metering and advanced video recording.
It employs Nikon’s unique DX-format CMOS image sensor, which can be paired with NIKKOR DX- and FX-format lenses.
The specs on this camera are nice:

51-point auto-focus …

Not eager to fork over two grand for Nikon’s full-frame D600? You might take interest with the company’s new D7100, a lightweight DSLR with a brand new DX-format (APS-C) sensor and a handful of other goodies to boot. The 24.1-megapixel cam’s imaging technology follows a now-commonplace industry trend by dropping the optical low-pass filter in favor of enhanced resolution. Naturally, the D7000 successor includes a sensitivity range of ISO 100 to 25,600 (Hi 2), along with improved noise reduction for better results in low-light. There’s a D4-like EXPEED 3 processor with support for 6 frames-per-second shooting in any mode, even when capturing 12- or 14-bit RAW images. A unique 1.3x DX crop function boost that rate to 7 fps, however, while capturing a maximum of 15.4-megapixel stills and 1080/60i or 50i video, compared to 1080 30/25/24p in the regular mode. There’s a 3.2-inch 1.229M-dot LCD, an OLED display inside the viewfinder for crisper data readout, and plenty more if you read on!

Hot on the heels of the newly leaked Sony NEX-3n photos are the Sony A58 photos, which for those unfamiliar with Sony’s camera lineup, the A58 is expected to be part of Sony’s SLT range and will target the more professional photographer. Either way this is not the first time we’ve heard of the A58 as there have been rumors in the past about the existence of this device, and hopefully these photos will be able to prove that it does exist. It’s either that or these are some pretty convincing looking fakes. The official specifications the A58 have yet to be revealed, although supposedly Sony will be revealing them on the 20^th of February at a press conference, but for now photographers interested in the A58, here’s what you guys can expect.

For starters the rumors are saying the A58 will sport a 20MP sensor capable of shooting 8fps and supposedly will have a much improved dynamic range compared to older models. The side of the A58 is also expected to be around the size of the A57, its predecessor, a brand new focusing system said to be “very cool” according to Sony Alpha Rumors’ source, the ability to control the camera via a computer and last but not least, it should be seeing a price tag of around $599 for the body-only. We’ll take this with a grain of salt, but feel free to discuss the probability in the comments below and check back with us on the 20^th of February for the details!

It looks like come 21^st of February, Nikon will be holding a press event in Thailand. The company has been sending out invites (via ThaiDPhoto) although they did not specify what exactly it is that they would be announcing. Nikon Rumors has suggested that Thursday seems like an odd day for Nikon to be announcing new products, but they have also speculated that it could be where Nikon announces the Nikon D7000’s replacement. For those who have been following photography-related news, you might recall that back in August of 2012, the D7000 had been listed as discontinued, and at the same time there have been rumors that said that the D7000’s successor could be seeing an announcement before April of 2013, making this event a pretty good candidate. Either way there’s not much to go on, but if you were a fan of the D7000 and want to see what its successor will bring to the table, check back with us on the 21^st of February to see if there are any announcements to be had.

So we know that on the 20^th of February, Sony is expected to announce something related to the PlayStation, and some are speculating that it could be the long-awaited PlayStation 4. However according to Sony Alpha Rumors, they claim to have received a tip that states that Sony will be making another announcement on the 20^th of February, although this time it is expected to be camera related. The timing is a bit odd and seemingly stepping on each other, but then again these are two different industries so maybe not so far-fetched after all (we still have our doubts though). According to their source, it is possible that the Sony NEX-3n will be announced, as well as the A38 and possibly the A58 as well. This is a bit contradictory considering the previous rumor suggested that the A38 and A58 could see March-April announcements. Either way it looks like the 20^th of February could be an exciting date, so check back with us then to see what Sony has in store for us!
