JT!
When browsing through "PHOTOS" and then select 'All photos', there is something that (in my head ...) does not work as it should.

Take for instance one of my images

 

when looking over the "details" of my image by hovering over the blue "title" - one gets an information-box page with text-boxes and all details of: 'when uploaded' - 'Camera' - 'Lens' - 'Likes' - 'EXIF' and 'Rating" Etc.

One can also comment on the image from there.

BUT - to my knowledge, just by looking at this small info-page, I cannot see / know if anybody has commented yet. So, in order to find out, I have to click the 'View comments'-button ...?!

- Like it is now, I have to go over all of my images several times and click the 'View comments'-button to see if anything has changed regarding comments made.

The way this system works and is set up I never get any information of any comments, and I am always LATE to thank for any comments made by others.

- Just the other day, I found out that you, youself have commented in 

 - at 01-17-25 22:18 - "Walter. What are all these American cars doing in your country? Everyone looks like they are having a blast! I am a little jealous :)"

 

 

- I only found out about this yesterday, Wednesday 5th of February, 2025 - so, you would naturally think that I am an ungrateful member, not responding to your question - but I DID NOT KNOW OF YOUR COMMENT - until I clicked the 'View comments'-button ...

Capisce ..?

Does this make any sens to you, JT? It a little difficult for me, to explain this in English - I could do it better in Norwegian, you know ...

Also, in this text-box here for "Post to the Message board" - could you add "underscore"-function, besides Bold and Italic ...?

Nikon releases the 125x optical zoom COOLPIX P1100 compact digital camera

TOKYO - Nikon Corporation (Nikon) is pleased to announce the release of the COOLPIX P1100, a compact digital camera that features an incredible 125x optical super-telephoto zoom and superior operability for recording high-quality images.

The COOLPIX P1100 is equipped with a 125x optical zoom lens that covers an incredible range of focal lengths beginning at the wide-angle 24 mm*1 equivalent and extending to the super-telephoto 3000 mm*1 equivalent (up to 250x*2 zoom is possible when Dynamic Fine Zoom is enabled). As successor to the popular COOLPIX P1000, a compact digital camera that realized amazing super-telephoto shooting, the COOLPIX P1100 offers further improvements in usability. The AF-area mode in Bird-watching mode can now be selected, and the same functions that can be assigned to the camera's Fn button can now be assigned to the Fn1/Fn2 buttons on the optional ML-L7 Remote Control*3.

Just as with the COOLPIX P1000, the EXPEED image-processing system and high-power zoom NIKKOR lens with outstanding rendering capabilities enable the capture of beautiful images, even with super-telephoto shooting. In addition, Dual Detect Optical VR, which achieves a level of vibration reduction equivalent to the center 4.0 stops*4, effectively suppresses camera shake with handheld shooting. The COOLPIX P1100 makes it easier to enjoy the world of super-telephoto shooting with the ability to capture dynamic images of subjects that are difficult or impossible to approach, including birds and celestial bodies. 4K UHD/30p and superlapse movie recording are also supported. Superior operability that pursues ease of use for shooting and support for a wide range of accessories ensure the COOLPIX P1100 facilitates diverse imaging expression with super-telephoto shooting.

Nikon will continue to pursue a new dimension in optical performance while meeting users' needs, contributing to the development of imaging culture, with the hope of expanding possibilities for imaging expression.

• *1Equivalent focal length in 35mm [135] format.
• *2Dynamic Fine Zoom Magnification refers to the total magnification from the wide-angle end after adding in the combination of optical zoom and digital zoom. When the largest image size is set. The maximum magnification depends on the image size.
• *3Functions that can be assigned to the Fn1/Fn2 buttons are the same.
• *4Based on CIPA 2024 Standard. Yaw/Pitch compensation performance. In photo shooting mode. Measured at approx. 350 mm (35mm format equivalent)

Primary features

1. 125x optical zoom for super-telephoto performance that enables shooting at a focal length of up to 3000 mm equivalent

The COOLPIX P1100 is equipped with a 125x optical zoom NIKKOR lens that covers the wide-angle 24-mm to super-telephoto 3000-mm focal lengths. Adoption of super ED and ED lens elements that provide superior chromatic aberration compensation demonstrates outstanding rendering capabilities across the entire zoom range, even with super-telephoto shooting. In addition, Dual Detect Optical VR, which provides a level of compensation equivalent to the center 4.0 stops, accurately suppresses the effects of camera shake with super-telephoto handheld shooting. This enables the capture of sharp and clear images of birds, celestial bodies, and other distant subjects at dynamic angles of view.

2. Shooting functions that support diverse imaging expression

Bird-watching and Moon modes are independent of scene modes, and can be accessed directly using the mode dial. With the COOLPIX P1100, the AF-area mode used in Bird-watching mode can now be selected from [Center (spot)], [Center (normal)], or [Center (wide)]. Greater flexibility in framing and more precise focusing enable the capture of sharper images of birds' small eyes or their entire bodies that better reflect the user's intent. In addition, a [Fireworks] option has been added to [Multiple exp. Lighten] scene mode. Users do not have to worry about the blown-out highlights that often occur when shooting long exposures and can more easily capture impressively clear scenes of fireworks displays in which the brightness of the foreground or the background differs.

3. Support for 4K UHD/30p movie recording

The COOLPIX P1100 supports recording of high-definition 4K UHD/30p movies. Users can beautifully record subjects with the power of super-telephoto 3000 mm equivalent. Frames from movies recorded in 4K UHD format can also be saved as still images to preserve moments that simply can't be captured with a continuous burst of still-image shooting.

4. Superior operability that makes for more flexible enjoyment of super-telephoto shooting

Despite coverage of focal lengths up to super-telephoto 3000 mm equivalent, a weight of only approximately 1,410 g* has been achieved, allowing users to enjoy super-telephoto shooting more comfortably than with DSLR and mirrorless camera systems. Furthermore, the deep grip enables stable shooting, even for handheld super-telephoto photography. The camera is equipped with a focus-mode selector that can be used to change the focus mode even after focus has been acquired, and a control ring that enables the adjustment of settings such as white balance and manual focus.

• *Including battery and memory card.

5. Support for a comprehensive range of accessories that enhance shooting

The COOLPIX P1100 is equipped with an accessory shoe and accessory terminal capable of accommodating a wide variety of accessories, such as Speedlights and the DF-M1 Dot Sight that facilitates image composition during telephoto shooting. Support for Nikon's extensive lineup of accessories further expands possibilities for imaging expression. In addition, when the optional accessory ML-L7 Remote Control is connected to the COOLPIX P1100 via Bluetooth®, the same functions that can be assigned to the camera's Fn button, for example white balance and AF area mode, can now be assigned to the Fn1/Fn2 buttons on the ML-L7 Remote Control. With the COOLPIX P1100, operation of all the buttons on the ML-L7 Remote Control is enabled, further expanding possibilities for remote shooting operation. The ML-L7 is also effective in preventing the effects of camera shake that frequently occur with telephoto shooting and when pressing the shutter-release button, for smoother and more accurate shooting.

6. Additional features

• A 3.2-in. TFT LCD vari-angle monitor with wide viewing angle
• Compatible with Nikon's exclusive NRW (RAW) format
• COOLPIX Picture Control*1, which can be used to make adjustments in accordance with the subject, shooting situations and intentions
• Creative mode that makes attaining the ideal imaging expression simple
• Capability to record superlapse and time-lapse movies
• Support for Clean HDMI output*2, which cleans the information display from the image output to an external monitor during recording
• The ability to set long-exposure noise reduction to [Auto] or [Off]
• Adoption of a USB Type-C input/output connector

• *1Imaging Recipes are not supported.
• *24K UHD image quality cannot be output.

Hello JT - I am not convinced that the new interface on the Photo-page is an improovement - quite the contrary. Sorry but I miss two very important functions: 1) to be able to clikk the EXIF-Data for any image !!! 2) where is the "Who liked your image" we had before? This is gone now !!! Sorry, JT - but this is my feeling for the new interface But, anyway - I wish you and your family a Merry Christmas!! :o)

Om my God. Am an old and full of gray hairs now. But this was just forwarded to me from an old high school friend I have not spoken with in years. This is a super dork image. But this is from my senior year in high school 1980! Don't laugh !! 😝 https://www.nikon-zf.com/gallery/1/med_U1.1698366836.0.jpg Nikon F2 and Nikon F.

Long overdue. After many years, It was time to create a mobile version of the gallery site. Having said that, you can now browse the gallery software from your mobile device with a better presentation. Keep in mind, mobile version has some limitations due to so much content on the site. But, the basic functionality is there. You can always switch between Desktop and Mobile version by clicking on the Computer or Phone icon located on the top menu. This has been carried over to all the sister sites as well www.leicaimages.com www.nikonimages.com www.zeissimages.com www.voigtlanderimages.com Please report any issues so I can try and resolve them. Thanks JT

My ZF is here and now I can post to my own website :) https://www.nikon-zf.com/gallery/1/sml_U1.1704737693.0.jpg

I am so stoked about the new ZF. I can't wait for my ZF in black to arrive. I think this will be one of those game changing cameras in todays digital world. So much so that today I have created nikon-zf.com just for the ZF series cameras. I am jealous of those who have theirs already. Otherwise, I would be posting my own ZF pictures. So. I humbly ask that if you own a ZF and wouldn't mind sharing a few pictures on www.nikon-zf.com please do. This is day 1 and there is nothing for me to share yet , https://www.nikon-zf.com/gallery/1/U1.1698020740.0.jpg

If you are a blogger, reviewer or run a store that sells camera lenses consider becoming a sponsor and taking advantage of the crosslink feature. The crosslink features lets you direct traffic to your site specific page based on the lens you cross link. For example, if you wrote a review or are blogging about the Zeiss 50mm Makro Planar you would create a crosslink to your page about the lens. When someone views a photo taken with linked lens, they will see an info box that states "Learn more about this lens from our sponsor". Your name will be listed as a clickable link that directs the user to the page you setup. Have a look at this photo: https://www.zeissimages.com/photo/500487 and you will see a crosslink in action. You can also direct it to your store as well. Like in this photo: https://www.leicaimages.com/photo/403580 Send us an email and we will get you set up!
