FIRMWARE UPDATE:Nikon D90 firmware upgrade coming next week

Next week Nikon in expected to release a new firmware update for the Nikon D90, not too many improvements, but any are always welcome:

  • Some interface improvements
  • Also an ISO tweak.
  • Improvement in the d-movie compression blue channel’s compression is too high), there will be a compression rate selector within the menu

Although there’s nothing that done about the Jello Video thing, sorry to hear about that but It’s a hardware problem, that will stay be there even in the next couple of generations of SLR with video capabilities.

As you can see this new Firmware for the Nikon D90 doesn’t improve things a whole lot but a new firmware release so soon after the release shows that Nikon is taking care of the Nikon D90 owners.

The Nikon d3x

Just as it was announced The Nikon d3x is already among us. And as had been rumored, it’s not an innovative model but rather an update of the Nikon D3, a year and a half after it’s official release.

The main new feature, and at the same time an update regarding the previous model, the Nikon d3x’s sensor’s resolution goes up to 24.5 megapixels in full format, standing just where  the Sony A900 is. It is a perfect model for those jobs that we need a great image resolution than other factors. In fact, it does not incorporate any sensor automatic cleaning system, for example. The price of this new high-end DSLR will be close to 7,000 euros.

About Nikon D3X sensitivity: the Nikon d3x cannot boast of values out of the ordinary, but the company has decided to ensure at a range between 100 and 1600 ISO that the user is able to choose from other values of 50, 3200 and 6400 in a forced mode. And if we talk about speed when taking photos with this new model the user can take up to 5 frames per second when opted for Nikon DX lenses, or up to 7 fps if you put a DX lens that crops the image and reduces their resolution to 10 megapixels. The auto focus system is 51 points.

The display of the Nikon d3x is still 3 inches and comes with Live View system that uses two methods of approach, by contrast, and by lifting the mirror.

The possibilities of the camera with extras are numerous, but we should highlight the WiFi or GPS module, which would leave us control approach and shooting without cables from a computer. What we miss is the possibility of recording high-definition video, but that’s not what professional DLSRs are for, arent they?
