Nikonrumors just did another post with rumored specs of the Nikon DF.http://nikonrumors.com/2013/10/28/nikon-df-camera-rumors-recap.aspx It seems from the specs that the DF is designed to be a compact digital rangefinder-style camera (not actually a rangefinder because it has a pentaprism). IOW a Nikon version of a Leica. If so the rumored $3000 price tag would make sense. But as Nikonrumors pointed out, it's called a hybrid...

The tripod...

New cameras have been announced by Nikon and Pentax. Here are some thoughts. Nikon D610: virtually the same as the Nikon D600, except that it has a new shutter mechanism that can do 6fps instead of 5.5fps. The new shutter can also use continuous shutter in quiet mode. The big question that everyone has is whether it will fix the dust problem. If it does then it might be worth getting the D610 instead of the D600. The cost of getting dust swabs, blowers, etc. can mount, and they are inconvenient to use. If...

In the third episode of this series, I will show you how I post processed the picture you see above, this is dedicated to Muhammad Usman based on his comments on the original post where I posted this photo. Hit the jump for the full post.This photo was part of a macro shoot that I did at home, this is a small lock that I use to lock my bag during travel.
