New Nikon D4 | Portrait Pro offer | New Year resolutions | Nikon 1 reviews

  
Happy New Year everyone…
Let's hope that 2012 is a great year for you all and you take your photography in an exciting new direction. To that end, we've listed some of the Practical Photography and Digital Photo teams' New Year Resolutions below. My New Year Resolution is to make more of an effort to get up well before dawn so I can capture some of the great sunrises that happen usually when I'm still asleep! So what's yours?
On the subject of new things it's interesting to see Nikon's new D4 DSLR just announced - take a look at the link below. I'm off to America next week to a big photo show, so I'm sure there will be some other exciting product launches to report back on.
2012's shaping up to be an interesting year already!

Nikon announce new D4 pro DSLR!
This morning (6th January 2012) Nikon officially announced the launch of their new top-end digital SLR camera - the Nikon D4. PP’s James Abbott and DP’s Michael Topham attended the launch and returned to the office suitably impressed! Read about the new Nikon D4’s specs and performance HERE.

New Year's photo resolutions
What's your New Year's resolution? by PA member Harvey1987
The past few days we've been talking resolutions, and we don't mean pixel dimensions. Most photographers have plans to change, develop and improve their photography and many of us use the New Year as a starting point. We asked the staff of DP and PP to let us know what their photo resolutions are for 2012:
To be brave enough to ditch the zooms and go out with just one prime lens. The idea is, the simplicity of the approach will pay back in creative and unique images. Now, which lens do I take? 20, 28, 35, 50 or the 90mm macro? Hmmm…
Jon Adams, DP editor
To finally get a photo book printed! Inevitably this will mean far too many hours spent at the computer re-editing RAW files, but it's long overdue.
Ben Hawkins, PP deputy editor
I've promised myself to have a thorough clear out of my Lightroom image library, deleting unwanted RAW files to free up some much needed space on my hard drives.
Michael Topham, DP technical editor
To carry only the kit I actually need in a small bag, not everything I have in my large bag.
James Abbott, PP technique editor
I plan to work on my portraiture which is an area of photography I find quite difficult. Oh, and save up to get a D700 or D800 depending on when it's released, a 24-120mm or 24-85mm lens and a second flash gun. Expensive times.
Adam Atkins, DP technical writer
To shoot a photo a day for 2012 – whether that be on my DSLR, my iPhone, or a borrowed camera from the PP office.
Ed Godden, PP technique writer
To experiment with my welding-glass big stopper, learn to edit video from my new EOS 60D, and to build a DIY motion-controlled camera rig.
John Milbank, PP art editor
We also asked our Facebook followers what their photo resolutions were and received loads of varied replies. Join the Photo answers Facebook page HERE to see all the responses and add your own.
Nikon 1 system cameras reviewed
Nikon’s first new camera system for over 50 years promises speed, precision and portability. The Nikon 1 cameras are certainly pleasing to the eye and the specs look impressive on paper, but does the system offer a genuine alternative to DSLRs or compact cameras?
