Nikon P1000 Specs and thoughts

Nikon finally announced its P1000 today and these are the specs:
24-3000mm Zoom(125x)
7 fps shooting
1/2.3 inch sensor
ISO up to 6400
4k video

Looks like a good update. Probably good for shooting the moon and small birds at a far distance away. We will have to see when I get one in my hands.

Nikon is rumored to have 2 mirrorless Cameras coming out!

Nikon has not 1, but two mirror-less cameras coming out soon. One will be 45mp and the other one will likely be 24mp. We know the first one will be a follow-up to the D850 and full-frame. The other one we don't know if its APS-C or Full Frame. Hopefully it is full frame and a replacement for the D750. However there are several issues that I will discuss in the video.

Canon Registers five new Cameras

Canon has registered five new cameras, 2 DSLRs and three mirror-less cameras before Photokina so hopefully we will see a bunch of Canon products once that day comes. The two DSLRs seem to be updates to the 80D(although the 7d Mark III is a possibility) and an update to the 5dS(although an update to the 5d Mark IV is possible). One of the mirrorless cameras has to be the competitor to the A7III and the other two will probably compete against the A6500 and other Sony products.

Nikon announces new F-Mount F/5.6 500mm lens, why?

Nikon has announced an F-mount F/5.6 500mm lens which I believe will be price just above $3000. The confusing thing is that they are making it for the F-mount and not the Z-mount since we all know their mirrorless and Z-mount is the future.

Sony A7R III Price drop, Why?

Sony has recently dropped their flagship A7RIII's price down to $3000 from $3200. This is a significant drop. The A7RIII was already competing well against the 5D IV and the D850, so why did Sony drop the price even lower? What are Sony's Nefarious plans?

Sony RX100 VI thoughts

Sony has just announced a brand new compact point and shoot for $1200. It includes an f2.8 to f4 24-200mm lens but no Microphone Jack and no Flippy screen and only 5 minutes of 4k. I personally think Sony missed the boat on this way by not giving a microphone jack and taking a stop of light off the lens in exchange for a longer lens, what about you?

Sony's New 500mm and 600mm Lenses, will you switch?

Sony has just filed patents for a f/4 500mm and a f/4 600mm lens which means they will be out in maybe a year from now. Their Bodies including the A9, A7RIII, and the A7III are kicking ass right now and the only thing they really lack is good telephoto glass. With these offerings of $10,000+ lenses, will professional finally switch over?

Birds in Flight Photography with Nikon D750 at Horicon Marsh

Today instead of reviewing and dissecting new gear, I take my gear to beautiful Horicon Marsh, the best birding area in the State(Maybe) and talk about strategy of taking photos of birds in flight.

Nikon's Financial outlook for the last fiscal year

Nikon's financial outlook for the year ending 3/2018 was a lot better than the company's financial outlook for the company for the year ended 3/2017. Although overall revenue was down about 5%, profits were up many times over what it was last year due to Nikon shedding off some of its divisions that were losing money for it. As a result, net profit was up and dividends paid per share for investors was also up. Nikon overall has more cash now than it did a year ago and is looking financially better than it was a year ago.
