Nikon Outs D3200 Entry Level DSLR With 24MP

Just like that, Nikon has just added the D3200 to its entry level DSLR bevy to replace the D3100. As a kit, Nikon's D3200 is set to retail for just under $700 and will include the body along with a basic 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G kit lens with VR (Vibration Reduction). Nikon wants to push the pixel count to the max giving the D3200 a massive 24.2-megapixel DX-format CMOS sensor coupled with the same Expeed 3 processor found in Nikon's D4 that's capable of shooting full HD 1080p video for point-and-shoot, ease of awesomeness.

Is black too boring for you? Well then, the D3200 also comes in this candy apple red color too. Besides the 24-megapixel sensor, the D3200 is capable of continues shooting at 4fps, ISO sensitivity ranging from true 100 to 6400 (expandable up to 12800 for epic grainy images), 60fps video capture option at 720p and a 3-inch back screen with Live View. Nikon claims that the D3200 is capable of performing well in low-light conditions, but we're skeptical. Expect to get your hands on the D3200 kit later this month in either black or red.

HoodCap Flower Is The Ultimate DSLR Lens Hood Cap

What a genius idea this is. This DSLR lens hood is called the HoodCap Flower, and for good reason. You might say it blooms open into a usable lens hood and closes into a lens cap right there on your lens. If you're like me, I've long forgot about using a lens cap in my daily use just because of how inconvenient it has become for me. I do however, always have my lens hood on. Something like the HoodCap Flower combines the best of both worlds into a single lens attachment you can simply rotate to transform it into a lens hood or a lens cap. Sadly, this isn't yet a real product, just a concept for the time being. I seriously want one now!

Nikon Outs Affordable 40mm f/2.8G Micro Lens

Nikon has released a new affordable, fixed focal length AF-S micro lens for Nikon DX-format cameras. The new prime lens is a Nikkor 40mm f/2.8G Micro lens with an AF-S Silent Wave Motor built-in. With the f/2.8 and rounded 7-blade diaphragm this lens packs, you should expect some bokehlicious macro shots at a very affordable price. Expect the Nikkor 40mm f/2.8G Micro lens to hit stores as early as next month for $279.95. I'll take two please.

Lens Loop Makes A Better Camera Strap

Despite its name, the Lens Loop is a simple, fully adjustable camera strap designed using a 2-inch wide seat belt webbing as the strap and comfortably rests the weight of your camera on your shoulder instead of your neck. The Lens Loop attaches to any camera using a universal camera connector that can support even the largest of DSLRs. The Lens Loop stays as slim and minimal as possible without any bulky shoulder pads to move around so you can roll it up like you would unroll a fruit roll-ups, and easily store it inside your camera gear bag. By not including a shoulder pad, I could see a potential comfort problems with photographers who use large and heavy DSLRs. You can pre-order a black Lens Loop over at Kickstarter for $25, and $35 for any other color.
