The Nikon D90 is Nikon’s latest mid-range digital single lens reflex (DSLR) camera and the world’s first DSLR to offer high-definition video capture. The D90’s 12-megapixel APS-sized CMOS sensor also ups the high-ISO ante with very low noise up to - and in some situations, beyond - ISO 800.

Nikon launched their second VSLR (video DSLR) attack a few weeks ago with the announcement of the 12-megapixel, 720p HD D5000. A D5000 review camera arrived on our doorstep this week and this preview is based on what we’ve learned from that camera. The Nikon D5000 has the same sensor as the D90 with a simplified set of controls. The standout feature on the new camera is the new 2.7-inch Vari-angle LCD display - the first tilt-swivel LCD on a Nikon digital SLR. This isn’t a perfect analogy, but the new D5000 is sort of like D60 with a Vari-angle LCD and a D90 sensor. The suggested retail price is $730 without a lens and $850 in a kit with the AF-S 18-55 f/3.5-5.6G VR Nikkor lens.
The Sea Otter Classic is an annual bike festival held at world famous Laguna Seca Raceway outside Monterey, California. It takes place every spring and has all kinds of mountain bike and roadracing events as well as bicycle and accessory manufacturer displays. I thought it would be cool to give you a quick inside view of the event through the eyes of a professional photographer…

The rumored Nikon D5000 digital SLR has been confirmed. Tonight, Nikon announced their latest digital SLR and their second to feature HD video capture. As the change in naming convention indicates (previous entry-level cameras were the D60 and D90), this is not just another entry-level or enthusiast Nikon digital SLR. For $730, the Nikon D5000 delivers a 12.3-megapixel DX sensor, 720p HD movie capture with sound, and it’s Nikon’s first DSLR with a fully articulated Vari-angle LCD display.
Nikon announced a new lightweight and compact, ultra wide-angle lens, the Nikon AF-S DX-NIKKOR 10-24mm f/3.5-4.5G ED. It features a focal length of 10-24mm that creates a picture angle ranging from 109 degrees to 61 degrees. It also features Nikon’s Silent Wave Motor technology, two extra-low dispersion (ED) glass and three aspherical lens elements, two focus modes of manual and automatic and features an M/A mode that allows the photographer to quickly switch between the two modes. The ultra wide-angle lens is perfect for restrictive interiors, architecture and sweeping landscapes.

More and more photographers are getting interested in being able to save GPS information with their digital photos. The geotagging enthusiasts at the German company foolography have introduced a new wireless solution for people who want to collect and save GPS data with their photos. The new Unleashed module connects wirelessly to any Bluetooth GPS device. It plugs into the 10-pin connector on select Nikon digital SLRs and allows the camera to embed the location data from your GPS in the EXIF data of your image files.
Nikon adds the fastest DX format lens yet to their lineup with the new AF-S DX Nikkor 35mm f/1.8G. This lens mounted on the smaller sensor cameras produces an image similar to the human field of vision. Rounded diaphragm blades and a fast construction add to the desirable image production capability of this lens from low light capability to desirable bokeh.
