At last - the Eye-Fi, which was announced last year, is now shipping for just $100 for a decent capacity of 2GB. Unfortunately, my Nikon D70 takes only a CompactFlash, or else I would have placed the first order for Eye-Fi
What is Eye-Fi?

Nikon D80

09Aug06

After a month long teaser campaign Nikon released 10Megapixel D80, a successor to its 2004 blockbuster D70.
At $999 without lens, it doesnt excite me too much. Nikon D70 was a pathbreaker when it came out in 2004, 2 years later D80 just seem to be a lackluster update. I was expecting at least a Full Frame sensor - […]

Montana!

02Jun05

This Memorial day weekend I got a chance to get back to one of my fav places in US - the Montana backcountry. The scenery has to be seen to be believed. I have never seen so much natural beauty packed in such a small geographic area.

They announced sucessors to its blockbuster D70 - no, thats not the big news.. read on!

Whenever a new camera comes out - it invariably contains many new features, many innovations and improvements over the older versions. So Nikon D70s boast so many cool features than Nikon D70 (my camera). […]

Woohoo!! to be read like Homer’s “woohoo”
I can’t hold my excitement any longer. As it is apparent from the not so subtle title - you might have guessed it… yes…the Holy Grail for Photographers…National Geographic, yes, the real one - the one with bright canary yellow borders, contacted me to inform me that […]
