Horrific crash at Le Mans Series at Mozna 2008.

Stephane Ortelli 38yrs of age from Monaco has a horrific crash at Monza. From the crash Stephane Ortelli only came away with a broken ankle. Not too bad considering how the prototype gets airborne and tumbles over and over. Watch and be amazed!

Nikon D3 Updates again!

With the discovery of an issue that, in rare cases, resulted in corrupted images captured with continuous shooting at 9 fps and RAW 14-bit recording option, the D3 firmware download released on April 15th 2008 was temporarily withdrawn on April 18th 2008. This new firmware download corrects that issue. We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused to any customers who updated their D3 Digital SLR camera with the previous version.
