A photojournalist from Malaysia National News Agency was covering a cycling race from the back of a motorcycle when he dropped his Nikon D3s. The camera was then ploughed over by the race marshal’s vehicle. When he recovered the camera and applied some duct tape to the battery cover, he finished shooting the race with it. See the video below for his story about how the Nikon D3s saved his job. [click to continue…]

We all know that the Canon 1D Mark IV and Nikon D3S are geared toward sports photographers. While the cameras have found their way into many other photography niches, at their core, these cameras are made for shooting sports. As an action-oriented camera, nothing defines its performance more so than its autofocus speed and accuracy.
When shooting sports, we can forgive images that are a bit noisier in one camera over the other, and we can forgive a camera with lower resolution than its competitor. What we cannot forgive, however, is out of focus images. When shooting sports and other action, autofocus performance is a paramount concern. [click to continue…]

Nikon has some solid DSLR and lens combo rebates going on right now. B&H Photo sent me a list of the rundown of cameras and lens, and they’ve put together kits to make picking up the right items a simple task.
The rebates are instant rebates, so there’s no clipping UPCs off the box and sending in 3 copies of your receipt. Just add the item to your cart and you see the discounted price right away.
Follow the links above to the qualifying cameras, then click the words “View Available Kits” (see top screenshot) that is just below the product image to see the lens kits and rebate amounts, which range from $200 to $400.
(Update: Note that the rebates are “stackable” in some cases, so you can save $700 when you buy a couple of lenses with the D3S and D700. Those kits are specified in the list as well.)
By default, B&H displays the retail price; however, once you add the “kit” to your online shopping cart, you will see the discounted price. Additionally, you get free shipping in the USA.
