Nikon announced their latest and some might say their greatest camera the D850. I have to say; it may be the perfect camera for me, so much so that for the first time I put in a pre-order with Nikon!
You can read my thoughts about this new powerhouse of a camera in an earlier post. The D850 is shipping in September, and it’s ready to preorder online.

DJI Phantom 3 SE
I’ve been reading a lot about drones lately because I still really want one and have not been able to pull the trigger. This new entry level drone from DJI has a lot going for it.

and powerful flight performance that make DJI’s Phantom series so iconic. With its 4K camera, 4 km control range, vision positioning system, and 25-minute flight time, users can experience the thrill of flying with incredible ease.

New Bird in my Photography Portfolio
Oak Titmouse
Not exactly news that will shake up your day, but it is a pretty cool little bird and one that is not that well known.
