Nikon 1 V1 / J1 Review At Digital Photography Review
"In depth review of both the Nikon 1 J1 and V1 cameras."
Nikon Coolpix P7100 Review At Imaging Resource
"There are upgrades and there are updates, and the Nikon P7100 seems more like a much-needed update to a camera that was great, but not quite up to its full potential. The P7100 delivers greater speed where it's needed, and the optical and image quality are about where you'd expect given the high quality of its predecessor."

Nikon Coolpix P7100 review By Ilse Jurriën
"The Nikon Coolpix P7100’s image quality is very good, especially for a compact camera with a small sensor. The Nikon EXPEED C2-image processing system offers a high image quality with little noise."
Have you ever had one of those days when you went out to shoot and nothing looked good? by Kirk Tuck (Great read - V1 appears later in the post)
"I think I've come to grips with why I love the Nikon V1 so much. When I use it I preset it to "A" and leave the aperture set at the widest setting. I put the camera into the auto ISO 100-800 setting. AWB. And the only thing I manipulate is the +/- exposure compensation. It's really become my ultimate "point and shoot" camera and I don't have to think when I use it."
Q&A with Nikon D4 engineer Toshiaki Akagi by Rob Galbraith
"We sat down this week with Toshiaki Akagi, an engineer and senior manager at Nikon in Japan, as well as a key figure in the development of the company's newest flagship digital SLR, the D4."

Nikon D4 - First impressions and thoughts By John Cazolis
"There is no question that at base ISO and up to about 5000 ISO the D4 performs superbly, but from 6400 ISO onwards the files from the pre-production D4 camera are not what i was expecting - much better than the D3/D700 but not noticeably better from the D3s."
Micro Nikkor AF-S DX 40mm f/2.8 G - Review / Test Report at Photozone
"The rubberized focus ring is slightly damped and operates reasonably smoothly. Unfortunately the focus ring shows an issue that we have seen in several recent AF-S lenses: there's a little play when changing the focus direction in manual focus mode, that can be annoying during focus fine tuning (for example in magnified Live View mode)."
5th Notice on the damage from the flood in Thailand at Nikon Global
"With partial operation restart at Nikon Thailand, our plan remains unchanged to resume production of digital SLR cameras and interchangeable lenses to the normal level of volume by the end of March 2012."

What Does the Nikon D4 Announcement Mean for Nature Photographers? at Earthbound Light
"Most ergonomic changes are located at the back. Nikon finally has added a dedicated zoom out button which solved what I hated most on the D3s."

Field Tests: The Nikon V1 by Brad Hill
"The V1 is not perfect, but its responsiveness, including fast and accurate AF, high frame rate, large buffer capacity, and its far-more-than-acceptable image quality combine to make the V1 the walk-around camera I have been looking for for years."

Nikon V1 review by Gordon Laing at Camera Labs
"The Nikon V1 and J1 are two of the most unique and exciting cameras I've tested this year. They boast quicker autofocus, tracking and continuous shooting than any camera in their price bracket."

"The Nikkor AF-S 200 MM f/2G ED VRII is a flawless lens - if you need an instrument with such parameters and you can afford it you shouldn’t hesitate one single moment."
