Nikon Watch

It’s looking more and more official- I’ve found independent confirmation now. Stefan on a Nikon list writes:

Just letting everyone know that a firmware upgrade (v1.12) is on it’s way. I had the pleasure of meeting a senior Nikon (NPS) manager today at my local camera store (in Perth, Australia) and she offered to upgrade both my D3 cameras (I had them with me as I was on my way to a job). She was passing through on her way to upgrade cameras at a national newspaper office.

I asked what was changed but she would/could not tell me, other than to say that I would want the upgrade. I also asked when the upgrade would be released officially, again, she would not say. Strange, I know, but I wasn’t going to argue with her.

I quickly checked one of my cameras to see if there was anything noticeably changed but couldn’t identify anything in the menus. The cameras performed flawlessly (as usual) on the job I just shot after the upgrade.

Sorry I don’t have anymore useful info but I thought I’d let the list know.

So they’re putting it into cameras that are going for maintenance and upgrading important NPS-heavy clients like newspapers now. It must be very close to general release. I wonder what they’ve update…
