Her Nikon Ambassador page now appears to have been restored.
Original Story:
Charmi Pena, one of the ten photographers added to the Nikon Ambassador program back in May of 2018, appears to be out of the program. If you click on her photo icon (https://www.nikonusa.com/nikon-ambassadors) on the Nikon USA ambassador page, it leads to a page not found error. However, the page appears to be still up at https://www.nikonusa.com/learn-and-explore/c/ideas-and-inspiration/charmi-pena it’s just not reachable from the main ambassador page.
On her website (https://www.charmipena.com/), in the about section, she is still showing the Nikon Ambassador logo on one of her self portraits. It’s hard to say if this is the result of not having time to rid her site of any Nikon information or not.
Nikon has done some strange things lately as reported in my prior post (www.robertallen-photography.com/blog/nikon-removes-all-website-and-social-media-references-from-all-nikon-usa-ambassador-pages) to the Nikon ambassador profile pages.
I reached out to Charmi and she indicated that she is indeed still a Nikon Ambassador but had no response as to why her Nikon Ambassador profile page was not reachable from the main Nikon Ambassador page. I tested all of the other ambassador profiles and all appear to be working properly with the only exception being Charmi’s.
If I hear any thing else about this developing story, I will post an update.
With a release date of October 2020, the Z7II offers plenty of opportunity for updates and changes, much of which are overdue. Just like the Z6III, I think similar changes could be made to the Z7II to bring it up to date with the release of the Z7III. Here is what I think could the specs of a refreshed Nikon Z7II could be.
