Nikon's flagship DSLR gets a sleek new finish for the firm's 100-year anniversary

Nikon will be celebrating its first 100 years in style — or rather, with two new restyled cameras. During the CP+ show in Japan over the weekend, Nikon displayed a special edition D5, D500 and lens set to commemorate the company’s 100th year.
The special edition D5 is expected to be sold in a unique gunmetal finish along with a matching case, leather shoulder strap, 100th-anniversary body cap and a special edition booklet. The D5’s little sibling, the D500 will also be released in a special edition version with the same gunmetal finish in a smaller gunmetal case along with that same body-cap style and shoulder strap upgrade.
Nikon will also make three lenses with a matching finish, the 14-24mm f/2.8, 24-70mm f/2.8 and a new 70 – 200mm f/2.8E. All three are included in another gumetal case, suggesting the trio will be sold as a set rather than individually.
The Nikon D5 is the company’s flagship camera, boasting best-in-class specs. The D500 carries a similar feature list and speed, but with a smaller APS-C sensor (and a smaller price).
While the special finish cameras and lenses were on display at the CP+ show running February 23 to 26, Nikon hasn’t yet released specifics on the new editions, though Nikon Rumors is suggesting that 100 of each special edition cameras and lens sets will be sold. Details like whether or not the special editions include anything besides the new finish and how much they’ll cost were not yet available.
The special edition cameras add to a list of what the company has planned for its 100th year in business, including a display of prototypes from the past as well as a new category for its annual photography competition, now closed for entries but with the winners not yet announced. The company will officially hit the triple digits in July 2017.

EVERYTHING WE KNOW ABOUT THE PIXEL 4, THE MOST-LEAKED PHONE EVER

Image
Google’s  Pixel 3 might have been the  most-leaked phone in history . Long before its unveiling, we knew practically everything about it from unboxing videos, photo comparisons, even a full review of the device. Surely, for the Pixel 4, Google would clamp down on leaks to leave some surprises for its debut on  October 15th , right? Let’s just say, if that was the plan, it didn’t exactly work out. We’ve now seen the Pixel 4 XL from every angle and in three different colors. At least seven different sources have touched this phone, many of them confirming the same specs. We not only know which cameras it’ll have, but also what they may be capable of, including air gestures (go figure). That doesn’t even count information Google has already shared  on purpose. So if you want to know almost everything about the Pixel 4 nearly a month before it’s announced, buckle up. We’ve sifted through all of the rumors and information we can find to compile everything we know — and everything we

According to a report by  SamMobile , the two late-2019 Samsung flagships are receiving the Android 10 update in Germany, although the rollout is limited to a small group of beta testers. This stable release follows a  five-round beta testing  that concluded just a couple of days ago. Samsung is rolling out the stable build only to its beta testers in Germany to possibly look out for any major bug. Besides SamMobile, the confirmation also comes from  some Redditors  who got the update in Germany just a few hours back. The same Reddit users also mention that Google Pay remains broken even after installing this final Android 10 firmware, although it wasn’t immediately clear how widespread the issue is. The Android 10-bas
