Don’t buy a Z8 directly from Nikon, customers say

by 5 Comments

According to posts on Reddit, it seems that quite a few customers have had their Nikon Z8 (buy here) orders cancelled, some without any reason provided whatsoever. The only thing these posts have in common is that they were all ordered (or pre-ordered) directly from Nikon itself. This doesn’t appear to be an issue with other retailers – or, at least, not enough of an issue that people are posting about it.

The posts typically say that the customer placed their order, received confirmation of their order and then suddenly received emails letting them know that their orders had been cancelled. The issue appears to stem around bank or credit card authorisation, but exactly where the blame lies isn’t quite clear.

Create NYC 2022 (AKA PhotoPlus Expo) cancelled – the next one is in 2023

by Add Comment

Create NYC – the event formerly known as PhotoPlus Expo – has announced that the 2022 show is being postponed until 2023. The chance in name came as the event is shifting from photographers to digital content creators in general, including both filmmakers and social media.

Create NYC didn’t really say much in their announcement about exactly why it’s been postponed, except to say that the show “needs a little extra time” to get put together. But the event that was scheduled for September 29th to October 1st, 2022 is no longer happening. No dates for a 2023 event have yet been announced. The full statement reads:

Photographer cancels the shoot a night before a wedding, explains why in a viral video

by 3 Comments

Is it okay to ditch a wedding photography client a night before their big day? I believe most of us would scream “NO!” with steam coming out of our ears. However, there may be situations when it’s perfectly justified.

Photographer Shayla Herrington found herself in a situation like this. After she canceled her services a night before a wedding she’d been booked for, the bride left her a negative review on Facebook. In a TikTok video that has since gone viral, Shayla shared the reasoning behind her decision.

The idea of cameras and lenses that let you refocus your photos after shooting has been around for a while. But after Lytro, another one seems to have failed. K|Lens One, a light field lens that captures depth information, has canceled its Kickstarter campaign and it won’t be launched after all.

BREAKING: Next week’s IBC Show 2021 in Amsterdam is now cancelled

by Add Comment

In what comes as a complete surprise to absolutely no one, and after having announced only a week ago that the show must go on, IBC 2021 scheduled to begin in just over a week in Amsterdam has been cancelled. Citing the “growing concerns about the COVID-19 situation in The Netherlands”, which show organisers say have deteriorated over the last week, the show has now been cancelled.

They go on to say that feedback from IBC exhibitors and visitors has also aided in their decision to cancel the show – which isn’t much of a surprise given how many companies had already pulled out and the number of visitors either unwilling or unable to travel to The Netherlands right now due to government lockdown restrictions recently put in place.

New York’s PhotoPlus 2021 expo has been cancelled over COVID-19 concerns

by Add Comment

Perhaps not surprisingly, PhotoPlus 2021 has been cancelled. Originally scheduled for September 30th until October 2nd in the usual Javits Convention Centre in New York, it’s been pulled with just three weeks notice. Organisers state that this is “due to developments regarding the ongoing progression of the COVID-19 pandemic and related company-imposed travel restrictions”.

The news was just sent out to press, exhibitors and attendees via email, and they say that for exhibitors who have made deposits for the in-person event, options will be provided in the coming days. For attendees who might have already booked flight and accommodations, though, no mention has been made for those people who might have now lost their money.

Breaking: After 70 years the Photokina trade show shuts down indefinitely

by 5 Comments

The organisers of Photokina at the Koelnmesse have just announced that Photokina, the Biennial photography trade show in Cologne, Germany, has come to an end after 70 years. The show had sent out emails to exhibitors this morning, letting them know what was going on, and then announced the news publicly via press release.

They say that this hasn’t been directly caused by the coronavirus pandemic, although it did cause the cancellation of Photokina 2020, stating that “the imaging market was already subject to strong upheaval, with annual declines in the double digits”. 2020 simply amplified this effect and has led to their current decision.
