Nikon D700 Price March 2012

According to the Nikonrumors.com, In March, the price of the Nikon D700 will drop to $2199.95 in the USA. This is $500 reduction from the Nikon D700 Price curent $2,699.95.

Nikon D700 Price in Europe was already reduced few days after the D800 announcement. The Nikon D700 will be available for sale at least for few more months, maybe even till the end of 2012 (considering that the D90 is still listed on Nikon USA website and available for sale).

Nikon D700 Specifications :

12.1 megapixels | 3" screen | Full frame sensor

Essentially a D3 shrunk down and squeezed into a body roughly the same size as a D300, the D700 shares the acclaimed 12.1MP full frame ('FX') sensor as the D3 and has the same processing engine, so we would presume output to be almost identical.

The main differences (aside from being considerably smaller) are physical; there's a different shutter (good for 150,000 exposures rather than 300,000 on the D3), different viewfinder prism (with 95% coverage) and a slower burst rate.

You also lose the rear LCD info panel (there's no room for it) and one of the D3's two CF card slots, but you do get a couple of extra features to soften the blow slightly; most notably a self-cleaning sensor and a built-in flash. Unsurprisingly the D700 produces excellent output that is very similar to the D3’s.

The D700 offers an enormous, almost five stop RAW headroom that allows you to even pull back highlight detail that has been blown out beyond recognition. The D700's most obvious strength though is its high ISO performance.

It's the combination of the huge photosites on the full frame sensor and Nikon’s very sensible approach to noise reduction (heavy-handed on chroma noise and much more lenient on luminance noise) that lets you (within limits) take usable pictures up to a sensitivity of ISO 12800.

Malaysia's First 4G Internet Cars Review

Proton Holdings Bhd is making this happen, thanks to its collaboration with YTL Group's Yes, one of the world's most advanced 4G networks, announced a partnership to offer Malaysia's first Internet cars and the national carmaker's customers will enjoy Yes as a new value-added standard feature in new models, beginning with the soon-to-be-launched sedan tentatively called P3-21A. The Proton cars will tap into Yes' 4G high-speed mobile Internet network, which covers more than 65 per cent of the country's populated areas and YTL plans to increase it to 80 per cent soon. The side-defect of connected car is the connected-cars-distracted-drivers problem and some argued that driving is already mentally burdening and the gamut of social streams and infotainment on-board will only add more distractions.



PROTON, Malaysia's national car maker and Yes, one of the most advanced 4G networks in the world announced a collaboration to offer Malaysia's first 4G Internet cars. The two leading brands will collaborate in a partnership utilising each other's strengths in vehicle engineering and mobile internet connectivity to take advantage of new technologies, applications and services that will make high-speed mobile 4G connectivity a standard feature in future new Proton models. In the partnership, Proton customers will enjoy Yes as a new value-added standard feature in new Proton models beginning with the soon-to-be launched sedan, the P3-21A. The Proton cars will tap into the Yes 4G mobile internet network which currently covers over 65% of the country's populated areas. Yes is the only wireless network operator in the country that offers seamless 4G connectivity along the full 960km stretch of the North-South Expressway and a large portion of the East-Coast Expressway. "We would like to applaud PROTON for having the foresight to provide 4G connectivity to its customers. In today's world, high-speed mobile connectivity is just as essential as music players and air conditionings in automobiles. We are very excited to embark on the journey of making this vision a reality with PROTON. " said Dato' Yeoh Seok Hong, Executive Director of YTL Communications Sdn Bhd. "Yes is about bringing positive change and we are fully committed to providing better Internet for all. Our robust 4G network with its wide footprint brings high-speed 4G connectivity to both urban and rural areas serving users across the nation. This strategic partnership with PROTON will bring 4G connectivity to more Malaysians as Proton cars are indeed ubiquitous," added Dato' Yeoh.



Up to five mobile devices can be connected to the car's micro wireless network at any one time providing high-speed internet access to users. In the future, PROTON and Yes aim to enable drivers with smart applications like remote real-time vehicle diagnostics, security and location-based services that will make the driving experience a safer, more convenient and enjoyable one. "The role of the automobile is diversifying and changing rapidly. It is no longer viewed solely for mobility purposes but is evolving into an extension of an individual's social and business circle. A fast wireless 4G connection in the car keeps you connected to this circle whatever your location may be. This initiative has been designed with the intention of offering Proton customers speed, mobility, convenience and greater productivity while on the road," said PROTON Holdings Group Managing Director, Dato' Sri Haji Syed Zainal Abidin Syed Mohamed Tahir. "It's not just about having the car 4G-empowered. We are now working to embed this technology into future Proton models. And this initiative is certainly in-line with our brand promise of being 'Commited To Be Better, as we are constantly seeking ways to enhance the ownership experience of a Proton car," he added. To mark this strategic collaboration, Yes and PROTON are giving away a one-of-a-kind, special edition Yes 4G internet enabled Proton Inspira worth RM100,000 as the main prize in the 'Win Malaysia's First 4G Internet Car' Facebook contest. This extensively customised Proton Inspira features a special paint job and limited edition 18-inch rims in addition to three units of Apple iPad 2 and a Yes Huddle 4G wireless mobile router, all mounted on specially engineered fixtures in the vehicle.

NIKE+ Experience For Basketball And Training Athletes Review

If you've ever played sports, you've always wanted to find a way to measure your athletic ability and the new Nike+ Sports Sensor puts a super smart sensor in your shoe that can measure all that. It doesn't sound wholly unlike Nike's own FuelBand (or the Fitbit Ultra and Jawbone Up), but there's a difference: the Nike+ Training shoes have specific workouts and challenges that are displayed on your phone while you train, like Nike+ Basketball, users are rated on their performance and there's a leaderboard that's designed to push you to train harder when you see a buddy has topped your score. The app features a series of drills and challenges meant to improve speed, agility and strength and your performance can be uploaded to a global leaderboard. The new apps and shoes, including the Hyper Workout+ for Women and the TR 1+ for men will be available on June 29th in the US, UK, Germany, France and China.



NIKE Inc. unveiled Nike+ Basketball and Nike+ Training, two new experiences connecting digitally enabled footwear with interactive mobile applications that together deliver a revolutionary sport experience. First unveiled for running products in 2006, NIKE+ has grown into a community of six million digitally connected athletes and is set to expand with the recent launch of the NIKE+ FuelBand, a wrist-based device designed to track everyday activity. The new Nike+ Basketball experience breaks down the user's game to deliver information and measurement, which in turn provides motivation. Nike+ Basketball measures how high, how hard and how quick players play each game. Nike+ Training transforms a daily workout from a necessity to something fun. The experience fuses the appeal of gaming with high-intensity fitness to create the perfect training companion to a 24/7/365 lifestyle. The technology in both experiences utilizes a new Nike+ Pressure Sensor built into each shoe that collects information about the user's movement and then wirelessly transmits data to their phone. It is then translated into different metrics delivering previously unknown information about either their workout or their game. NIKE, Inc. President & CEO Mark Parker unveiled the new NIKE+ technology at an event in New York attended by U.S. sprinter Allyson Felix, Super Bowl Champion Victor Cruz, and boxing world champion Manny Pacquiao. "NIKE+ allows us to connect the physical world of sport with the social elements of digital to create a better sport experience for every athlete," said Parker. "It's about much more than a shoe. It represents a shift for NIKE from product, to product + experiences." Nike+ Basketball measures how high, how hard and how quick players play the game via the 'Track My Game' mode. The NIKE+ enabled basketball shoes track information on every movement during the game and deliver back information to the user, giving them a basis from which to improve. Messages from Nike Basketball players and coaches provide motivation when goals are reached.



The experience also offers 'Showcase' mode, a feature that allows players to record a dunk and superimpose their live data on the video, which can then be shared with their friends via social media. "I think Nike+ Basketball will change the game," said LeBron James. "Giving every player access to this level of information will have a huge impact on the way players train and play the game." "When you're growing up and playing the game of basketball, your friends are your competition," said James. "Young players will be excited to track their stats to earn bragging rights or showcase their best plays on video. They'll be anxious to get back out on the court to improve their stats." Nike+ Training is designed to turn working out into a game. Featuring insights from some of the world's top athletes including Rafa Nadal, Manny Pacquiao, Allyson Felix and Hope Solo, the Nike+ Training experience makes elite level training available to everyone. The programs consist of a series of short, sharp workouts, designed to help users get fitter, faster and stronger. Each workout is demonstrated on-screen to provide detailed guidance and motivation. During each drill or challenge data and feedback on the workout is delivered to the user's phone via the Nike+ Training mobile app. Daily programs can be created based on how hard the user wants to train, and the app provides a digital community to share each day's workouts and challenges with. Workout statistics can be shared and compared with friends via social networks allowing users to challenge each other and compete to top the Leaderboard. The first NIKE+ enabled Basketball shoe will be the Nike Hyperdunk+ which will be worn by LeBron James this summer. The first NIKE+ enabled Training shoes will be the Lunar Hyper Workout+ for Women and the Lunar TR 1+ for men. All three shoes to feature the new NIKE+ technology are part of the Lunarlon collection, which combines advanced NIKE Flywire technology with a sports specific NIKE Lunarlon cushioning system. All styles of the NIKE+ enabled footwear will be available and at retail June 29, 2012, in the US, UK, France, Germany and Mainland China.
