Failure to communicate

Guess who I´m referring to? If you guessed: Nikon, you just won a cookie:)
I haven´t heard a single thing for about 5 months now from Nikon Europe(Scandinavia/Norway) It´s not like they haven´t released anything lately.. No NPS(Nikon Professional Services)  preorder notices, no information about new equipment, nothing siltch, nada, not a single thing. In fact last time I heard anything from them was about a Nikon course on setting up Nikon CLS. And how to set up your camera, if you are a professional Nikon user, you shouldn´t need to attend a course like this if you ask me. But that´s not the point, the point is that the communication part is something Nikon has been saying for years that they are working on improving. Well it´s been about 3 years since I talked to the Nikon officials in Norway, and nothing seems to have happened since(at least on the comunique part). I´ve right up given up trying to call them, as they don´t answer the phone. I noticed on the newest NPS membership card they have removed the phone numbers of the back of the card (Scandinavia) I.e Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Finland). This does not look to me as if they are trying to improve their communication with their customers, or is it just me? To me this is not really a big problem, as they can´t usually provide a answer to the problem, nor do I thrust the repair facilities in Norway(fool me once shame on you fool me twice shame on me). Which brings me back to the reason I get all my equipment from B&H, now that´s a company Nikon could learn a thing or two about customer care, and service. I think what I´m trying to say is; this just isn´t good enough for a company like Nikon.

Nikon GP-1 Review is out

Just posted Nikon GP-1 Review

Review updates

Nikon D2H IR, Nikkor 24mm f/2.8D

Once again more delays... The Nikon 24mm f/2.8D review should have been done, but due to bad weather and shoulder problems it will take a bit longer until the review is done. I still need some more shooting with the lens before the review can be made. On the other hand, the 5.8cm f1.4 review will probably be out before the 24mm review. Nikon GP-1 review should be out by this weekend.

NIkon

Only a few more days left on the Nikon Instant rebates! (ending October 30, 2010)

New review out!

Data Robotics Drobo 4-Bay Review

Next review will be Nikon GP-1. After that new lens reviews will finally be coming out!

Review updates

It's been a "couple" of months now since my last review. My shoulder is still not back to normal, but I've decided to push out a couple of reviews. Unfortunately lens reviews still have to wait a while longer. I still have some shooting to be done with the 24mm AF and the 5.8cm before I feel that I can give a full review of these lenses. The 400mm AI-S has been put on the shelf for now. It's too painful to lift the Nikon D3 to my eyes, so anything much heavier is a no no. At least until my shoulder heals up.

Next review out will most likely  be the Drobo 4 bay, followed by Sekonic L-758DR light meeter.

On top of the 24mm AF Nikkor ,and the 5.8cm f/1.4, The following items are up for review as soon as I feel well enough to go out and shoot:
Nikon GP-1 GPS unit
Nikon MC-36
Nikon D7000 (sample pictures will be up as soon as I get the camera)
Nikon 24mm f/2.8 AI-S
Nikon 35mm f/1.8G DX
Nikon 50mm f/1.4 vs 50mm f/1,4G AF-S
Nikon 50mm f/1.8 vs 35mm f/1.8G DX and so on.

There isn`t any particular order to what will be reviewed first. But you can expect sample pictures from the D7000 to be published on a daily basis after I get to grips with the camera.

Nikon D3, Nikkor 35-70mm f/3.5 @ 1/250s f/5.6, outtake from the latest assignment
