Customer Reviews
Fantastic Podcast
Becky and Konstantin bring you all the weekly news and rumors about Nikon cameras. It is great to be able to listen to them when not able to see their video.
Love the show
But needs to stream more consistently during the month to keep me engaged in the long run...
For current Nikon updates
The Nikon Report provides concise and relevant information about Nikon cameras, lenses, accessories, and related topics. The length of the episodes is just right - not too long or too short.
