Nikon Web Site
By Robert Lachman
Nikon enthusiasts should check out the new interactive website at www.nikonusa.com and Nikon Picturetown with 2GB of free photo storage. According to their advertising, "Up to 20 GB free until April 30, 2008." Later in the site Tour, the Picturetown's services says you need subscribe to my Picturetown Gold for the extra storage which is available only in the US and Japan. 
It was tough to tell how much extra this was going to cost without signing up. I just signed up for Photoshop Express. Enough is enough with signing up for stuff. Ok after a little further checking you're going to get nailed on your credit card for $2.99 a month for the 20GB's of storage after April 30. Remember you're already getting 2GB of storage free so you're
paying the monthly fee for only 18GB's of storage. Just like those extended warrenties. Probably not a great deal.
The site does interact with their new line of cameras which will transmit via WiFi. This seem cool until you realize most cell phones will email photos instantly already
I certainly do want to give kudos to Nikon for their new D3 camera. The quality of the camera is amazing with high ISO settings like the 1600. They look like ISO 200 compared to a many of the similar cameras. ______________________________________________________________________
