PetaPixel was invited to come take a look at Nikon’s new Global Headquarters and Innovation Center and was the first North American publication to see the updated working environment and relocated Nikon Museum.

Mike Heiman, Getty Images’ head of sports, takes us behind the scenes of the complex logistical feat, which will involve cutting-edge technology, 140 photographers and editors, and an expected 5 million images.

Five of Nikon’s engineers have shared insight into how the Z8 came to be, including the decision-making process and thoughts about what they needed to achieve. The stories were printed in full with no editing whatsoever, were shared by Nikon Australia with Inside Imaging.

Nikon Releases New Firmware Update for the Nikon COOLPIX P950 Super Telephoto Camera

With the acquisition of the Nikon Zcf camera with the kit lens, my transition from Nikon DSLRs and f mount glass to Nikon mirrorless Z cameras and Z Nikkor lenses. That’s not to say that I wont purchase additional equipment down the road but for now, I have a well rounded collection that should allow me to shoot just about anything.
Overall, I have been pleased with the performance of all the Z equipment, both lenses and bodies. The one exception would be the shortened battery life, mostly related to the Z8. That’s about the only thing that I miss about DSLRs.

Join us for a live Q&A hosted by Seth Miranda, featuring Mark Cruz, the Senior Marketing Manager at Nikon USA Inc. where he will be discussing the new NIKKOR Z 135mm f/1.8 S Plena including specs, and showing the audience a sample of the new launch. He will also cover the Nikon Z f release that came out this month, a retro-style mirrorless camera with the latest technology. Tune in for more information and a look at the new product.
