“A student protest against higher bank charges, organised on the Facebook website, is threatening to embarrass the HSBC bank into reversing its plans.” And just two days later, The Times reported , “Facebook protest forces interest rate climbdown.” These news stories suggest that the activity on Facebook caused HSBC to change course. I wonder if that was really the case – or if it might have been the fact that the traditional media jumped on the story that made the difference. For a start, what proportion of HSBC customers who were recent graduates chose to join the online protest? Let’s do the ...

pulled off a remarkable social media feat for Old Spice body wash this week. Videos of the wry and incredibly sexy Old Spice guy - first introduced in a Super Bowl commercial in February - went viral in under 24 hours. Original, hilarious, entertaining, and remarkably well-crafted - the Old Spice videos took both new and traditional media by storm. The campaign raises the bar on production values, scripting, acting, lighting, and engagement. Unfortunately, people aren't rushing out and buying Old Spice. (Update: A couple of commenters noted that those stats are not fair to use in relation to the week-old social media play, ...

As you may have gathered from previous posts, I’m interested in photography, so when I scanned MediaPost’s Marketing Daily last week, the title “ Nikon Unveils New Cameras, But Plans No New Marketing ” was bound to catch my eye. Assuming that Nikon really does not plan any specific marketing to support the new Coolpix cameras, I wonder what thinking went into that decision? Is it a tacit acknowledgement that digital cameras have become commoditized, or is it a reflection of the faith Nikon has in its brand name? The article, written by Laurie Sullivan, opens with ...

just look at the date and you´ll see they took the intro date, they just took it from 200 400 intro date and photoshoped it, the ´2´ ,´7´and ´0´ looks absolutely cloned. and thode dumb chongs forgot to add the ´G´ after the aperture designation. how jolly exciting, shall prepare to cash in some bonds =D But think about this, 85mm f/1.2 + x2 teleconverter = 170mm f/2 ! And with 2 teleconverters you get a 340mm f/4 ! All that for only $7000 ! Wrong. 85mm f/1.2 + x2 = 170mm f/2.5 85mm f/1.2 + x2 + x2 = 340mm f/5.0 dont speaking about the slow af & blurry pics. better go with evil or micro 4-3. I really dont understand this logic. ...

At noon Pacific time on Sunday, the Photo Marketing Association will kick off its PMA show with a traditional "sneak peek" for the press. But it's also a tradition for most of the companies to make their new-product announcements beforehand, leaving very little sneaky about the peeking. That holds true again this year: we've already posted previews of models from Canon, Fujifilm, HP(!), Nikon (including a full review of the just-announced Coolpix P100 ), Olympus, Panasonic, Pentax, Ricoh, Samsung, and Sony. Companies big in the imaging market, Canon and Adobe, aren't even attending this year's show, ...

Digital-camera sales have exploded during the past four years, from $928 million in 1999 to $3.8 billion last year, according to research firm The NPD Group. Nikon is looking to grab a bigger share of that market with its 6-year-old Coolpix camera line. As competition increases from more nontraditional rivals (such as Hewlett-Packard and Sony), Nikon stands at No. 8 with a 5-6 percent market share, according to NPD. (Sony leads the digital market category with a 21 percent share.) Since Nikon introduced its Coolpix line in 1997, the overall ad budget has increased from $6 million in 1998 to nearly $20 million last year as the ...

The basic concept of the new Micro Four Thirds system for digital cameras left me with a big dilemma that took me almost a full year to resolve. I just wasn�t getting it. Photographers whom I trust and respect couldn�t stop praising these cameras. Panasonic and Olympus teamed up to define the standard and have been making Micro Four Thirds cameras and lenses for about a year now. But no matter how carefully these people explained their enthusiasm, I couldn�t see the point to this entire category of cameras. I couldn�t imagine a scenario in which someone asked me what sort of camera they should buy and I�d tell them �Oh, you want ...

Would you announce a product to be launched 18 months in advance? Would you do so leveraging on digital media and social networks? Would you expect a small bunch of unknown users to become all the sudden in opinion leaders that influence millions of potential customers? And last but not least: Would you have the courage to do so in a recessive industry characterized by its conservative approaches? Indeed, you have to be a bit crazy or desperated to do so.

If you don't care to know about the art of photography and you don't like to read manuals, don't buy this camera and you can stop reading right here. Otherwise, read on. I can take any camera and take bad shots with it. But if I use most modern cameras to their full potential, I tend to end up with great shots. By that I mean using correct focus, exposure compensation when necessary, and selecting the proper ISO, shutter speed, and aperture for the situation. Those are just the basics. There are also other adjustments and tweaks like Face Detection, D-Lighting (Nikon's term for bringing out more detail from ...
