NASA is a big Nikon fan apparently, having previously sent the Nikon D2Xs to space. NASA just placed an order for 11 Nikon D3S bodies and 7 Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8 lenses. That should compliment NASA’s stock of 76 D2Xs cameras nicely.

Update #2: As of 1/4/10, the Samsung NX10 has been officially announced. For more details, click here.
Update: After this post was published, Samsung contacted me and requested the addition of the following statement: This information was not supplied by Samsung and does not represent an official announcement of the NX10. Final technical specifications and details regarding the camera system will be made available by authorized Samsung representatives at a later date, with the official launch of the product.
It looks like some images of a production model of the Samsung NX10 have leaked out onto the web via DPR forums. The above image shows the smaller body design with no mirror in between the lens mount and the 14.6-megapixel sensor.
You can also see the video setting on the mode dial in the other images in the DPR forum. It looks like a pretty nice design; however, not quite as small as you might expect from a mirrorless body.
We’ve been waiting a long time to get hands on a production model from the Samsung NX series. It looks like we may be getting close to that actually happening. Hopefully, we’ll see a release by the time CES 2010 rolls around and get to play with this new camera.

In this second article of the series, we’re going to delve into some of the popular blogging platforms and try to come up with a good picture of what software and services make sense for the blogging photographer.
Other articles in this Blogging Basics for Photographers series:
1. Deciding Whether to Start a Blog for Your Photography
2. Blogging Software and Services

From the top, I’ll let you know that this article (and series, in general) will be heavily biased toward WordPress as a blogging platform. This is what I know and use, and I think that it’s the best all-around blogging platform out there. That said, there are plenty of other great blogging services and software available, and we’ll take a look at them below. I invite any photo bloggers out there to chime in with your thoughts on these or other blogging platforms in the comment section at the bottom of this article. Moving on now… [click to continue…]

Some of you may recall the above time lapse video from the dash view of my Ford Mustang as part of my review time with the Nikon D5000. The D5000 offers an interval shooting mode that you can set up directly in the camera without tethering to a computer, which is required for the Canon counterpart. The original post is here and here’s the full Nikon D5000 Review.
I have had a few questions lately about the details of the settings I used and thought I’d take the time to revisit the setup here. [click to continue…]
