A 50mm is one of those perfect lenses everyone should have in their bag. If you're a Nikon shooter, you might already be following some of their new lens releases. Eager to get your hands on Nikon's redesigned 50mm F/1.8G? If you want it now, B&H has all the goods in stock.

Good news for your Nikon fans, seems like all of those popular Nikon models that were 'out of stock' for the last several months has a fresh inventory in at B&H. If you've been waiting patiently, here's your chance. Hopefully they weren't out of stock sooo long that they went outdated. It's been a downfall for popular Nikon cameras to not be able to supply the demands. I feel sometimes people get impatient and end up with other brands like Canon because of the hard to get inventory. The models now available below. [Update]D3s already sold out...

The latest Nikon DSLR should be hitting the market in the next few weeks (or sooner). I'm not sure how many of you are Nikon fanatics, but here's a video from YouTube member gconphotolab showing that the new D5100 will still not have Full Manual Exposure Settings. [Thanks Garnet]

Not sure what to say about this, everyone else seems to be on board with the idea of Full Manual controls in a DSLR including Sony, Panasonic, and others. Interested parties for Nikon's latest D5100 can begin pre-orders below.

    Nikon announces the D5100 and from the pricing and specs, it should be going head to head with the T3i market. [Thanks Andrew] It's rocking 16MP against the T3i's 18MP, but in today's world those sizes don't matter. It's possibly Nikon will have better low light handling by sticking to this smaller size chip.

    The D5100 includes a Vari-Angle LCD, External Mic input, 4fps burst photography, and finally some additional frame rates for video. Well maybe not so important frame rates as they've managed to start adding in 30fps to their 1080 recordings, but still nothing at 60fps. We'll see if future higher end Nikon models will have that ability. Of course the camera will have 'Full Time Auto and Manual Exposure' in movie mode. Nikon is still including full time 'Auto Focus' during movie recording as well.

    On the photography side there's a ton of built in Filters and Effects, but also built in HDR photography mode. Something Sony seems to do with every camera, and Canon DSLR's lack. They aren't stopping there. They are also creating accessories for movie making like their ME-1 stereo microphone. Nikon's new D5100 is priced right even against all the new competition. The cult like Photography following for Nikon glass can give this camera some penetration into the DSLR video market. The one problem Nikon has is availability. Every new release is extremely slow to become available and by the time you find it, there's already something new. Let's see how this one plays out. More in depth specs can be found on the Nikon page.

    Should be available in May according to the link below.
