Several folks have emailed in regarding a Nikon D5000 recall. It’s been a few weeks since the “recall” and we didn’t post an update when it came out. Nikon refers to the occurrence as a “service advisory.”
While Nikon takes great measures to assure high quality in its imaging products, it has come to our attention that an electronic component related to power control in some Nikon D5000 digital SLR cameras does not meet factory specifications and may, in certain circumstances, prevent the camera from turning on, thus preventing operation of the camera.
Indications of this issue include:1. The camera cannot be operated when the power switch is on, even with a fully-charged battery.
2. The camera cannot be operated with the EH-5a AC Adapter connected through the EP-5 Power Connector and the power switch on.The solution:
Nikon has isolated the issues related to this and has effectively resolved them. Preparations have been made at a special Nikon repair facility to streamline the processes associated with the solution. Service related to this issue, including the cost of shipping affected D5000 cameras to Nikon, as well as their return to customers, will be free of charge. To further minimize customer inconvenience, Nikon will return serviced cameras to customers promptly, employing (whenever possible) transportation that limits transit time to two days.
There’s a way to check the serial number on your Nikon D5000 and get more details on this page.

There are many different elements to street photography. As I’ve stated in previous posts, good things to focus on are the recession and the unusual/candid. There are lots more elements to street photography than that, and in this posting we will be focusing on something that I’m only now delving into: the paparazzi. [click to continue…]

This is a little out of left field and little off the release calendar; however, I got a tip on it and the post went up fresh today. I think this is a little off-base since we just saw the Nikon D300s and D3000 released a couple weeks ago.
I think it’s more likely that the site is just fishing for attention, but that’s a juicy camera model, so I’ll bite. It’s been close to 2 years since the D3 came out; however, I still don’t think that’s long enough – at least not according to the Nikon DSLR Roadmap.
What do you think?

The Sony A330 is 10.2-megapixel DSLR that is a follow-up to the groundbreaking A300. I wouldn’t necessarily call the Sony A330 an upgrade to the A300 – more like a refresh.
First off, let me get to the point of who this camera is for – consumers upgrading from point and shoot cameras, period. It’s not a typical enthusiast, or aspiring pro shooter’s camera. It’s not a do-it-all DSLR like the Canon Rebel T1i or Nikon D5000. This camera is first and foremost for those folks out there who are thinking about a DSLR but are a little intimidated by all the bells, whistles and interchangeable lenses found on DSLRs.

More presumed leaks directly from Sony. This time, you can add the A750 and A950 to the already unveiled Sony A850. The hole appears to already have been plugged on Sony’s site.
Additionally, there was some speculation a few days back on DP Review forums that tossed out these model number, along with price and sensor specs:
1. A950 with backlit 24.6Mp Exmor sensor @ $2999.95
2. A850 with 24.6 Mp @ $1999.95
3. A750 with 14MP backlit senssor @ $1200.00.
The poster nailed the A850 sensor and is probably pretty close on price as well. Having pulled these model names of thin air is a pretty lucky guess – or maybe he knows something we don’t…?
