Nikon to release 800mm telephoto lens
Nikon announced yesterday that it will add an 800mm  f5.6 supertelephoto lens to its product line, helping reduce some competition between Nikon and its rival Canon. Nikon has not mentioned how much it will cost nor when it will ship, but we are expecting somewhere around the same price as Canon's EF 800mm f/5.6 L IS USM, which comes in at $13,000.

Although this seems like an extremely high price to the average customer, it is definitely worth it for professional photographers, especially those who do nature shots such as bird watching, and obviously  paparazzi photographers (they can even have much more expensive lenses).

Nikon also mentioned that it will show off the 800mm lens at the Photokina show in Cologne, Germany this September. We'll keep you updated on the status of the 800mm supertelephoto lens as more info becomes available.

Lexar XQD memory cards announced, will duel with Sony for Nikon D4's attention

Lexar XQD memory cards announced, will duel with Sony for Nikon D4's attention
 Nikon's D4 is currently the only belle at the XQD ball, and until now, Sony was its only memory suitor. However, Lexar's just arrived with a new line of cards to compete for the D4's affections. The Fremont-based company says it collaborated with Nikon to build the PCI Express-based memory, and that they'll hit the market sometime in the third quarter of 2012 - with no mention of specs or prices so far. Unfortunately, that means we don't know how Lexar's offerings will stack up against Sony's H-series or S-series cards already on the market. That said, while you wait for more details about Lexar's new cards, feel free to check out the lovely data the D4 will be putting on 'em when they arrive.
