July 20th, 2008
Last night cosmo and I came back pretty late from a Photo tour with a Motorbike Stuntcrew from Brandenburg. We took a lot of photo and video material and currently working on the reviewing. If you want more information on that visit gibpit.com.
Actually what I wanted to tell you was to come and join us at the German Stuntdays in Brandenburg. It is organised by Lars who is one of the Riders from Fast Division which we met yesterday. The location is an old military airport. Please come by and have a look at the Riders and there shows. The guys need every visitor they can get cause most of the financial part is all paid by them privately. One of us will be there too to take some photographs and do some filming. More information can be found on the links below.
Nikon announces Nikon D700 & SB-900
July 1st, 2008
Large image sensor, developed by Nikon; 12.1 effective megapixels
The D700 employs an FX-format CMOS image sensor with an area of 36.0mm (h) x 23.9mm (v). It provides superior picture quality throughout a wide ISO sensitivity range, with advantages that include a large pixel size to ensure a higher signal-to-noise ratio and wide dynamic range, and improved circuit layout to efficiently increase the strength of the electrical signal from pixels. High-speed, 12-channel readout enables fast continuous shooting of high-resolution images at up to 8 frames per second (with Multi-Power Battery Pack MB-D10 and Rechargeable Li-ion Battery EN-EL4a/4 or eight AA-size batteries).
Nikon Speedlight SB-900 Major Features
- Multi-step auto zoom covers wide 17-200mm zoom range (24-105mm：SB-800)
- Three illumination patterns (standard, center-weighted and even) are available to match each shooting environment
- Automatically detects Nikon FX and Nikon DX formats and selects suitable light distribution
- Improved booster circuit for high-speed recycle time: Recycle time using four AA-size batteries is almost equal to the SB-800 with five AA-size batteries
- New AF-Assist illumination covers a wide 20-105 mm focal range compatible with the new Multi-CAM3500 FX/DX AF sensor
- Firmware update via Nikon D3 and D700 is possible (world’s first*)
- Thermal Cut-out function limits the number of flashes to avoid deterioration of light emitting parts caused by continuous flash firing
- Automatically detects color filters (fluorescent or incandescent), enabling camera to control color temperature according to filter information from SB-900
- Improved switch panel for enhanced usability
- Improved GUI using a large-size LCD dot panel
- Bounce capability: tilts up to 90º, down to -7º, rotates horizontally 180º to right and left
- Advanced Wireless Lighting and versatile functions for up to three remote groups of SB-900s or other compatible Speedlight controlled through the master SB-900
