This iPhone App has been out since last year but it is worth looking at again, since it was updated to version 1.1 in January and since we will soon have a new device to use it on, the Apple iPad. Hopefully the software developers at Nikon are already at work bringing out a new version, enhanced for the much larger display of the iPad.

Are we finally getting a Coolpix P7000?
Nikon Coolpix P6000
Ever since the Nikon Coolpix P6000 was first announced in August of 2008, Nikon users have been complaining about the lack of real professional features and begging for an improved Coolpix P7000. The features most wanted are better image quality (even at lower resolution), low noise, and the same NEF RAW that is used in the DSLRs. More recently this list has also included a larger sensor (same as the DX sensor DSLRs) and if at all possible, interchangeable lenses.
