My first impression: WOW!! Clear ISO 12800 Shots (show them later next week) and a improved camera handling due to the 2 joystick like components. Now you can place your AF field easily!!

More to come…….

See the pictures at nikonrumors.com and decide for yourself! I preordered mine a few weeks ago!!!

Nikon D4 – Behind The Scenes Video by Joe Mcnally

Overall, D4 high ISO noise levels are very similar to the D3S, though photos shot with the D4 will have reduced colour noise (thanks mainly to noise reduction improvements in the D4′s EXPEED 3 processing hardware). The main difference you’ll see in pictures from the two cameras at high sensitivities is in the fine detail: D4 photos are noticeably better in this way.

Nikon Capture NX 2.3.0 (64-bit) and View NX 2.2.5 released today
64 Bit !! But to use Nik Filters only 32 Bit

What’s new in Capture NX 2.3.0:

Lens information is now displayed in the Metadata palette for images captured with the Nikon 1 V1 or Nikon 1 J1 using the Mount Adapter FT1 and a CPU lens.
Support for images captured with the Nikon 1 V1 and Nikon 1 J1 using the Mount Adapter FT1 has been added.
An Astro Noise Reduction option has been added to Noise Reduction in the Camera Settings portion of the Develop section in the Edit List palette. This option reduces the randomly spaced bright pixels that occur in images of stars captured with long exposures.
An Auto2 option has been added to New WB under White Balance in the Camera Settings portion of the Develop section in the Edit List palette. This option is available with RAW images taken with the COOLPIX P7100. When white balance is changed to Auto2 and a settings file saved, a white balance setting of Recorded Value will be applied if the settings file is used on a RAW image that does not support the Auto2 white balance setting.
When Set Gray Point was selected from White Balance in the Camera Settings portion of the Develop section in the Edit List palette, and the image clicked to specify a portion to use as the grey point, the point selected was sometimes not accurately reflected in the resulting white balance if the image had first been rotated. This issue has been resolved.

What’s new in ViewNX 2.2.5:

Auto 2 is now available for selection from the list of White Balance settings in the Adjustments palette for RAW images captured with the COOLPIX P7100.
An issue that prevented display of Exposure mode in the Metadata palette for images captured underwater in Easy Auto mode with the COOLPIX AW100/AW100s has been resolved.
An Event box has been added under Description in the Metadata palette.
Lens information is now displayed in the Metadata palette for images captured with the Nikon 1 V1 or Nikon 1 J1 using the Mount Adapter FT1 and a CPU lens.
