As part of Nikon’s 100^th Anniversary celebration stock photo company depositphotos has analyzed millions of files from its stock photo library and released some very interesting statistics regarding Nikon usage throughout the world. 

We all strive to capture true-to-life photos so they look as great as possible straight out of the camera. That means paying close attention to exposure focus, and other key shooting variables, as well as choosing the proper camera settings for the specific task at hand.

Most of you are hopefully using the camera's familiar Luminance histogram to fine-tune exposure, especially when shooting under difficult lighting situations. But are you aware that some modern mirrorless cameras offer the option to select an RGB histogram instead? This tutorial from Adorama TV will quickly bring you up to speed so that you'll understand which tool to use when.

One of the first things many of us learned when first getting started is to always use the lowest ISO setting possible. While this rule may be true in certain situations, other times it can be detrimental to the images you make.

Most of you are familiar with the farcical notion that, “You’re not a real photographer unless you always use your camera’s Manual mode.” Well, the video below takes the opposite and equally controversial view.

Like the Olympus Pen, the Panasonic GX8 and the Fujifilm X-T10, the Df’s clean lines, sharp edges and large controls are reminiscent of the finest cameras of film’s glory days in the 1980s and 1990s. They are part of the “retro style” trend that, in the words of the inimitable Yogi Berra, is “déjà vu all over again.”

The Nikon Df has long been one of our favorite yet perennially underrated classic DSLRs. And if you act fact, you can save $800 on a Nikon refurbished Df today.
