Some pretty big news from Nikon today guys...
We've reported the rumors for weeks, Nikon has formally announced the new D5000 DSLR, as somewhat of a replacement of the D60 entry level DSLR. It is 12.3 MP, has a vari-angle LCD screen, HD video with audio, one-button live view, 4 frames per second burst rate, 11 point auto focus with 3D focus tracking, and a price point well below $1,000. Will be seeing housings for these soon? Something tells me that we will.
Another one that we've been reporting rumors about for weeks. Nikon announced today the release of a new DX lens - the AF-S DX-NIKKOR 10-24mm f/3.5-4.5G ED. This is a bit wider than the 12-24, which many Nikon toting underwater photographers use behind their dome ports. The 12-24 is an f/4 lens, and the new 10-24 is an f/3.5-4.5. The 14-24 of course is an f/2.8 lens, but doesn;t fit behind all dome ports (but that's not the point of today's post). The 12-24 has been a decent lens for underwater photographers, but in the grand scheme of things is not the highest quality lens. The 10-24 stands to one up it.
