Nikon removes all website and social media references from all Nikon USA ambassador pages.
Is Nikon abandoning their own ambassadors? I was on their ambassador webpage at https://www.nikonusa.com/nikon-ambassadors and noticed that some content had been removed from a few of the profiles but wasn’t sure what had changed. Upon further observation, I noticed that all references to their websites and any other related links have been removed from all of the ambassador profiles.
Also, all photos of their equipment are way outdated! The majority of the photos show that most Nikon ambassadors are still using D series camera bodies such as D5s and D300s.
How does this compare to Canon’s equivalent program, Explorers of Light? There’s no comparison at all! All Canon EOLs profiles are current and reference their websites and social media links and include a video profile for most members. As for gear, the R system of course is listed for most (upon further review, some EOLs are showing that they are using D series bodies and lenses. I’m not sure how accurate that is).
I’m not sure what Mike Corrado is thinking, but it’s obvious that he no longer cares much about the ambassador program or its members. What a shame. It use to be a honor to be included in such a prestigious group. Not any more I guess.
Let me know below in the comments your thoughts on this.
2025 marks the 10th year of my membership in Nikon’s NPS. Let me say right off that I’m a member at the complimentary professional level, not one of the paid options. I was permitted to join back when there were no paid NPS memberships.
