At CES 2015, Nikon had the most to shout about, with its\u00a0announcement of some big products. First is a\u00a0brand-new addition to the D5000 series in the form the Nikon D5500. This is a 24.2-million-pixel, DX-sensor DSLR aimed at the enthusiast photographer. From its predecessor, the Nikon D5300, there are a few key changes, including a redesigned grip\u00a0and a fully articulated touchscreen display.<\/p>\n

In addition to this, Nikon also announced two new lenses. The\u00a0retractable AF-S DX 55-200mm f\/4.5-f\/5.6G ED VR II is tailored for the amateur\u00a0market, and the\u00a0incredibly small Nikon AF-S Nikkor 300mm f\/4E\u00a0PF\u00a0ED VR prime aims to satisfy the professional and prosumer market.<\/p>\n

Many people visiting\u00a0the Nikon stand were keen to check out these new products, although\u00a0the biggest draw was the DSLR line-up. As Nikon released the Nikon D750 and the Nikon D810 last\u00a0year \u2013\u00a0which are arguably two of Nikon’s best DSLRs to date \u2013\u00a0it\u2019s clear that these would command a lot of attention. A variety of Nikon representatives were on hand giving buying advice and demonstrating\u00a0the products.<\/p>\n
Elsewhere on the stand there was the Nikon School Theatre,\u00a0where\u00a0various Nikon Ambassadors, including Joe McNally, Dixie Dixon and Ron Magill, were present. Joe McNally gave a walk-through guide on shooting with Nikon Speedlights using a ‘showgirl’ model as his subject. He answered questions from the floor as he went along and it was amazing to see a large number\u00a0of people engaging with him and getting the answers they needed. Overall, it was a very informative session for the audience.<\/p>\n
