Rumors about Nikon silently stopping the DSLR like Sony did years ago…

July 12, 2022
news
0 Comments

The well known Nikkei news outlet reports that Nikon has withdrawn from the development of digital SLR cameras. No new digital single-lens reflex camera will appear in the future, and production and sales of existing models will continue for the time being.

Hours later Nikon Japan issued the following statement:

Today, some media outlets have reported that we have withdrawn from the development of single-lens reflex cameras, but this is speculation and not announced by us. We continue to produce, sell, and support digital SLR cameras, and we hope that our customers will continue to use them with peace of mind.

If you pay attention on the wording Nikon doesn’t mention it will continue the “development”. It only says it will keep “producing” which is kind of obvious. I am 100% sure the day is close Nikon will stop making DSLR cameras just like Sony and others did years before…

World’s first Meike 85mm f/1.8 FE AF lens review by SonyAlphaBlog: “very good for the price”

July 11, 2022

The new lens is available at BHphoto, Amazon, Amazon DE, Amazon UK.

SonyAlphaBlog tested the new Meike 85mm f/1.8 FE AF lens and concluded:

The Meike 85mm F1.8 STM (200$) is a very good for the price. It provides very good results overall for portraits with very good sharpness in the centre ,very nice bokeh balls , color rendering and soft background blur. AF is good (80-90% accuracy)
Of course it will be more at ease on 24Mpix than on 61Mpix in term of sharpness
Some tradeoffs have been made. : full plastic body, AF that could be a little bit better (this should be possible with firmware upgrade), important vignetting, some CA and average resistance to flare, some loss of contrast with incident light, sharpness in the corners pretty average
Video rendering is also very good
Recommended on A7II / III for small budget
