Nikon At Photokina 2012


Although Nikon didn't use Photokina 2012 to launch any new cameras or lenses, the show was the first chance the public had to see the new Nikon D600, announced last week. The new 24.3MP DSLR sits below the Nikon D800 in the manufacturer's lineup, and features a newly designed 24.3MP FX format CMOS sensor and the same Expeed 3 processing engine as the one in the top-of the-range Nikon D4.
We also got a chance to try out the Nikon P7700, a premium compact camera that features a large 1/1.7-inch 12 million pixel CMOS sensor, a 7.1x optical zoom lens and a fully articulating screen.via Techradar

Hasselblad Lunar is a Rebranded Sony NEX-7 with $5,000 of Luxury

Hasselblad mixed things up today by announcing a new “ultra luxury” APS-C mirroress camera. Sounds like Earth-shattering news, right? Take a little closer, and you’ll notice that it’s not as monumental as it sounds. Basically, the company has taken a page from Leica’s book by playing the rebranding game. Just as Leica -Lux compact cameras are essentially rebranded Panasonic Lumix bodies, the new Hasselblad Lunar is a dressed-up version of the Sony NEX-7.
The specs are idential: a 24.3 megapixel APS-C sensor, an ISO range of 100-16000, 0.02 second shutter lag, a 3-inch LCD screen, a built-in EVF, 25 AF points, Sony E and A mount compatibility, and 10fps continuous shooting.

Design-wise, the camera’s name and look seems to pay homage to the fact that Hasselblad cameras were used on the moon (and left there). The Italian designs feature handgrips made of real wood, and bodies constructed using carbon fiber, titanium, leather, gold, and other precious metals (these are most definitely needs, not wants, in case you’re wondering).
The Lunar is basically a whole series of Leica-style special edition cameras, with different colors and materials. We hear there’s 47 different looks based on different style combinations.
Here are some more views of the camera:
