If you happen to be a Nikon owner or potential Nikon owner you may want to check out the new gear they announced this week. DPreview is probably your best bet for now. The most interesting is the Nikon D300s. It should catch the eye of both the photo and video crowd with autofocus 720P video as well as external mic jack. Also be sure to check out the Nikon Mini-site For the full frame crowd check out the new AF-S NIKKOR 70-200MM F/2.8G ED VR II. All the goodness of the original with a better low light slow shutter shooting and edge to edge clarity on full frame cameras.
Other items of interest include a revised AF-S DX 18-200mm VR II lens and an entry level D3000 DSLR.

Need a waterproof digital camera for your next trip to tropical paradise? Maybe you are just clumsy or tend to get caught out in the rain. Check out the Digital Photography Review waterproof camera test. They just updated their test to include all the latest cameras. Their review confirms my suspicions.
I think I will wait for the next rev of the Panasonic DMC-TS1S. I hope it includes time lapse and slow motion.
I hope my kids never get into this!
I am 1 of 5 finalists in the My Indiana Summer photo contest. If the grand prize was awarded on merit I wouldn’t bother with this post. Since that is not how things work on the internet I have to pull a few votes from friends to win. I don’t even really want the grand prize but the competitive side in my wants to win anyway.
Vote early and vote often. Pass this around. I may just give away the grand prize to someone that voted.
The video needs some editing but the plane is sweet.
I have been watching the Tour de France on Versus this week and it has motivated me to start cycling again. God knows I need to do something to get me back into shape. I used to bike when I was a kid and even have a trophy or two from some local races. I don’t think I will be racing again anytime soon if ever, but I look forward to getting in cycling shape again. What fun would it be if I couldn’t take a little tech with me. Do you use tech to help keep you motivated? What do you use? Please share in the comments.
A couple things I will use to help me track my performance along the way. iPhone 3Gs and a few apps. The first up is MotionX. I plan on using MotionX instead of a Bike computer. I ordered a Ram mount for my handlebars so I can have something to distract me during the first few weeks before I get in a groove.
