DSLR Camera Remote is a must-have for remote shooting applications like high or low angles, self portraits and children. With its advanced timers it makes remote monitoring a snap. No internet connection required!

Nikon received 2 awards from the prestigious European TIPA (Technical Image Press Association). The D3x was voted "Best Professional Digital SLR" and the D90 was voted "Best Advanced Digital SLR".

Engadget has a good comparison between Nikon's new entry-level D5000 and the slightly older but higly capable D90.

Nikon has just updated Camera Control Pro to version 2.5, adding support for the Nikon D5000. Camera Control Pro is a remote camera control suite which enables remote control of Nikon digital cameras via USB, Firewire and/or WiFi connections.

Nikon Vision Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Nikon Corporation, is pleased to introduce the EDG Fieldscope series, a new Nikon Sport Optics brand.

EDG is pronounced “edge” because the series provides edge-to-edge brilliance and overall leading-edge performance. The optical and mechanical results of the current fieldscope series, which has won plaudits from users around the world, have been enhanced for the new EDG series. The outstanding performance of EDG Fieldscopes, including natural color reproduction and crisp clarity, has been achieved through the use of Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass. The straight-type models also feature dielectric high-reflective multilayer prism coating.

Both the main bodies and eyepieces of the EDG Fieldscopes are waterproofed with O-ring seals and nitrogen gas, allowing EDG Fieldscopes to be used in adverse weather conditions. Seven kinds of eyepiece are available, providing unparalleled performance in differing environments. The newly developed zoom eyepiece in particular offers superb optical performance with minimized distortion and long eye relief (18.4-16.5mm).
