Rumours

With the Photokina show looming the rumour mills are running over time, There are rumours that have been around some time and these normally come to something and today a German mag has let some details and images slip of some new kit that wasnt meant to be released until later in the week when Nikon has called a press conference, This normally happens so heres what is coming up so far

Camera wise so far just the base model Nikon 3100 but it does have a new 14mp sensor and Full 1080 HD video
Lenses will be a 24-120F4VR which is normally a kit lens for the D700,Its long over due and although the old version is good it needs stopping down for the best results, It should be a good walk around lens, I have played with the old model and its nice and light compared to the pro models
85mm F1.4-Long awaited for and should be a great portrait lens
28-300mm this is said to be an FX or full frame lens
55-300 which is DX or cropped sensor lens

Thats that it so far more news here, There are still strong rumours of a D90 replacement and hopefully a D700 upgrade but time will tell

Bio's

David Courtenay, a self taught wildlife and nature photographer, has been capturing images for over 30 years. He has had a passion for wildlife since early childhood and remembers being glued to the television whenever Survival, Wildlife on One and other natural history documentaries were shown. In the 2006 he swapped his established career for the life of a wildlife photographer, such a move demands a measure of uncompromising passion and commitment.

David has travelled extensively throughout Europe as well as spending more than 7 months in India working with local guides and trackers in search of Bengal Tiger, Asian One horned Rhino and Asian Elephant. He has also photographed Wildlife in Australia, Malaysia, Thailand, Sumatra, Africa, Canada and America. Working closely with Conservation companies he tries to raise funds to help Wildlife that has been put on the endangered list by poaching and habitation loss

Martin Dyer has had a passion for avian wildlife since childhood, particularly raptors. Photography was also another keen interest and it was with the specific availability and control of the whole process that digital offers that Martin was then able to combine the two in 2003. Based in the UK, Martin is a regular visitor to Scotland, specifically the Isle of Mull to watch the Eagles resident there. Other trips to Europe and around the UK are usually part of Martin’s agenda in a typical year.

However, as a firm believer on making the most of the local patch, Martin has spent a lot of time and hard work creating a wildlife garden which is reaping the rewards with many new species and varieties of wildlife. A keen member of a number of wildlife photographic groups, Martin is keen to expand his portfolio into other areas of wildlife, and has already established a wide portfolio of images of fungi.
