First off, let me apologize for the delay in posts over the last month or so. I’ve been very busy designing a new website layout and various other upcoming features of the website. The aforementioned updates should be out within a few weeks if nothing goes wrong. Now on with technological news!

Nikon, as you may or may not know, is one of the more respected companies in the camera world. Professional photographers around the globe use their cameras to capture the most stunning of photographs. On January 6th Nikon announced their latest and greatest camera to the world: the Nikon D4. Nikon’s D4 is a 16.2 megapixel, 10fps, 204,800 ISO beast of a camera.The list of new features can found below, in the neat list form. However, one of the more interesting features of the camera is the fact that it includes a new XQD memory card slot. The new memory card handles 1Gbps transfer speeds (125MBps), and has the potential to reach fives times that speed with upcoming cards. The D4 should be coming out sometime in February, hopefully along with the announcement of the Nikon D800 on February 7th.

List of Nikon D4′s features (in epic list form):

The 16.2MP CMOS sensor
ISO range of 100-12,800, expandable to 50-204,800
10FPS with full auto-focus, 11FPS max
