The ability to track stolen Nikon cameras and lenses

Dear Nikon:

As an amateur photographer who had a Nikon N65 camera, AA battery grip, 28-80G lens, lenshood, a filter on the lens, and the batteries for my Nikon N65 stolen from me in Cleveland, Ohio, and then being the victim of a theft of a 24mm and 50mm lens, at the Bronx Zoo on June 13, 2007, I would like to see some type of GPS device be built into all Nikon camera bodies and lenses in order to track equipment that is stolen.

I realize that cost considerations, size considerations, and other matters would have to be dealt with in order to make a system like this work, but by having this type of tracking device built into a lens, and camera body, it would help to cut down on the amount of Nikon Camera equipment and lenses that are stolen.

Of course, the owner of the camera would have to know the serial numbers of their stolen gear and there would have to be a way to "activate" the tracking device, but if this could be done, it would help many photographers get "re-united" with their equipment. Tracking devices are already available for laptops, cars, motorcycles, and other items, so why not cameras and lenses. Having a tracking system similiar to 'Lojack" would be very helpful.
This would also save insurance companies money, since it would cut down on claims and at the same time perhaps, photographers would be able to get a "break" on insurance on their photo gear if this system was made available.

I would like to suggest that you do this before Canon and Sony do.

Sincerely,
S. Z.

100-500mm and 500-1000mm Nikon lenses

Dear Nikon,

I am extremely disappointed in your appearance this year at Photokina, especially the announcements of new lenses - one new prime and even that was not nano coated. And cameras, nothing new. Personally I would have like to have seen a D3x, D700x and D300x all with 24-30 mp and movie capabilities. Disappointing. Anyway here goes.

I would like to see you upgrade the AF VR Zoom-Nikkor 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6D ED (5.0x) lens and expend the line to included a 100-500mm lens and 500-1000mm offering. of course, keeping a similar price point.

Very very disappointed with the 2008 Nikon appearance at Photokina.

85mm f/1.4G AF-S

Dear Nikon,

I enjoy taking portraits in available/low light. I also enjoy being able to override focus manually without having to disengage the autofocus. That's why I'm very pleased to see the 50mm f/1.4G AF-S is on the way.

However, if you can produce an 85mm f/1.4G AF-S in the near future, then I will buy one of them and a D700 to stick on the back of it.
Please do the honours...

Yours sincerely,
Adam C.

Photokina feedback

Dear Nikon,

Well I leave here tonight on my way home and back to work.

Leica, Hasselbland, and Cannon were very impressive. Nikon was a bust and I wonder why they even bothered to shop up.

One new lens. A 50mm without Nano coating or being a black and gold lens. What a waste.

I came primarily to see Nikon. I should have listened to Jxx my Nikon Rep who said I should save the money and just go to PMA next year. At the moment, unless advised otherwise, Photokina with not be seeing me again. Cost to see nothing new from Nikon was not worth it.

In my opinion, this Photokina showing from Nikon truly hurt their reputation.

regards,
KM

Interval timer shooting option for Nikon D90

Dear Nikon,

After reading the preview of the Nikon D90 on dpreview.com it seemed that it included an interval timer shooting option (as seen on the D300 and upwards). I was most disappointed to find that this was not the case when I tested the D90 in a shop today. Is it possible that this could be added as a firmware update in the future? Surely it is not so difficult to implement.

Kind regards,
P. K.

Nikons 75th birthday and Photokina 2008

Dear Nikon,

Here September was Nikons 75th birthday and Photokina 2008 was one of the worst showing I have seen from Nikon.

YOU have had two years to plan for Photokina 2008 and your 75th birthday and you did nothing to celebrate either.
How disappointing.

a very very Disappointed FAN

Add more features to the Nikon D40

Dear Nikon,

I have D40, and I like it but there are some features it miss. Maybe it could be done with firmware.
  • 1-auto exposure bracketing
  • 2-highlight preserving matrix metering mode
I would replace D40 body for new one in case
  • It would have dust protection system
  • It would not have more than 10 Mpix. The best would be 6Mpix
  • It would have higher ISO and dynamic range.
  • It would be in silver.
I am looking for good compact for my sister. It should have wide lens and
optical viewfinder as large as possible. P6000 looks well but why it has
so ridicule many MPix?

Best regards
M.P.
