Nikon just made a "development announcement" saying that Nikon D4S will be the successor to the two-year old Nikon D4 (pictured above). Oh goody, here comes Nikons next badass professional camera!

Nikon just gave its entry-level DSLR a pretty obvious spec bump, but along with the new camera, Nikon’s introducing a new version of the standard kit lens that ships with the product and will probably be used by tons of beginners on this and other cheaper Nikon DSLRs

Earlier we reported on a rumored that Nikon could be looking to announce new cameras at CES 2014, such as the Nikon D4 and the Nikon D3300. We’re still waiting for an official announcement of sorts but until then, it looks like the folks over at Tom’s Guide might have let the cat out of the bag a little earlier than expected when they accidentally published an article related to the upcoming Nikon D3300. Presumably the article was under embargo and the post has since been removed (you can view the cached post above), but it does highlight some of the Nikon D3300’s features as well as provide us with a look as to what the camera could look like.
According to their post, the Nikon D3300 is the successor to the D3200 which was introduced last year. Some of the D3300’s specs includes an upgrade to 5fps shooting from 4fps from the Nikon D3200, an Expeed 4 chip to power the camera, ISO sensitivity increased from 12,800 to 25,600, video capture at 1080p Full HD at 60fps with 24 and 30fps options available as well, a new panorama mode, and will not sport an optical low-pass filter. Oddly enough despite the D3300 being a successor to the D3200, the latter will not be discontinued, so for those looking for an entry level camera but don’t need all the bells and whistles, perhaps the D3200 could be an affordable option.

CES 2014 is taking place this week and we’re looking forward to learning about a bunch of new devices that will be debuting at the event. We expect manufacturers to unveil all sorts of cool technological innovations and if the rumors are to be believed, Nikon is expected to make an announcement at CES as well and could very well announce a successor to the Nikon D4 DSLR camera. This rumor comes courtesy of Digicame-info who reports that CES could be the platform that Nikon is taking advantage of to make their announcement. They are also reporting that alongside the D4 successor announcement could be two new lenses as well as a certain D3300.
We have heard rumors that Nikon could be planning a successor for its D4 camera and given that the camera is about 2 years old, we guess it does seem about right that Nikon would be looking to introduce a newer model with upgraded features. The specs of the camera are unknown at the moment, but hopefully we will learn more later this week. There is also a possibility that if Nikon does not make the announcement at CES 2014, they might make an announcement at CP+ which is taking place not too long after CES, but either way check back with us later this week to see if there is any official news to be had.

Who needs Christmas lights when you have glowing mammalian cells? This wreath, assembled from cells with proteins and structured stained different colors, was made by Dr. Donna Beer Stolz at the University of Pittsburgh. It won 19th place in the 2011 Nikon Photomicrography Competition—but top honors for holiday cheer. [Nikon]

While digital appears to be the way of the future, going old school is not a bad thing. In fact there are photography enthusiasts out there who still love film cameras and use them to take photos, even though it means that they are unable to “delete” their mistakes and that it would cost them money and time to get their film washed. Either way there’s something very retro about using film cameras, and if you’re a fan of said technology, you might be interested to learn that a listing on eBay has revealed a certain Nikon FA camera, except instead of your normal Nikon FA, this particular model is a limited edition one that comes with a 24k gold plated finish with lizard skin.
According to the eBay listing, the seller is asking for $12,000 for the camera and despite the eBay listing stating that it is used, the description states that this is a camera that has never been used before. Nikon’s own description of the camera reads as such, “In commemoration of winning the “Camera Grand Prix” prize, Nikon FA Gold was released in Japan (Nippon). This was based on the FA, and its silver color parts such as top and bottom covers are gold-plated and the lizard skin was used for leather cover.” Apparently only 2,000 units were made and while we reckon it’s still in great working condition, we doubt many photographers will be using it to take photos!

Earlier this year, Polaroid unveiled a mirrorless camera of its own in the form of the Polaroid iM1836 which was then released back in October. However it seems that Nikon did not take too kindly to the camera, and while it is understandable given that both companies are competing in the camera market, we can see why Nikon would be a bit peeved, especially since the Polaroid iM1836 resembled the Nikon 1 lineup of mirrorless cameras in terms of design, which led to Nikon suing Sakar, the company behind the Polaroid iM1836, over patent infringement.
Now according to the court’s ruling, they have ruled in Nikon’s favor and have since issued a consent injunction, with both parties agreeing that, “Sakar will no longer manufacture, import, advertise, promote, offer for sale, sell, or ship the Polaroid iM1836 digital camera in its present configuration.” This comes after Nikon had reportedly tried to reach an amicable settlement with Sakar, but failed to do so. So if you were after the Polaroid iM1836, we guess you can still try some retailers who might still have it in stock, otherwise you’d be flat out of luck. What do you guys think? Is this injunction a rightly deserved one? Or do you think that Sakar has nothing to be guilty about?
