Today I have been looking around to see what I would like to put on my wish list for Santa. Yes, for sure it is a little late. But considering that I lost parts of my gear just recently at Penn Station New York by falling on a set of stairs, itīs more an update of an existing list than creating a new one. So I guess he is fine with it.

Nevertheless the list became longer than I expected.

Nikon1Remembering my old D60 I really miss a small DSLR as a backup on Business trips. But while looking around my eyes did jump on the Nikon1 V1. Not quite sure why exactly. The size, the speed, the awesome results or simply the whole bunch of opportunities. Remembering the fun I had while shooting with it in Zürich, this, with the 10-30mm and the 30-110mm, is the one I want to have on my wish list to.

AddictedBut how to carry? Ok I could use the Lowepro Pro Trekker, which is an awesome backpack when traveling. It has enough space to carry gear and some additional travel stuff. Considering the weight and size restrictions itīs one of my favorites. But since this is a “wish list” – why not add to the wish I decided to put another little baby on. The Think Tank Addicted V2.0

Think Tank AirportThis Backpack seems to be monster in hand luggage size. Holding up a whole bunch of gear plus up to 400mm, lenses this might be the next step for me. Iīm still hearing my friend Dennis talking about his experiences using Think Tank gear while in Afghanistan. Proudly he showed me his monster bag, after traveling almost 300,000 miles, still looking almost new.

SB910 FlashWell, talking about gear, I donīt want to miss adding the new SB-910 Flash. This would be a great new baby in my bag. Knowing all the advantages of using i-TTL combined with the new improved usability of it, I canīt miss to put it on the list.

I guess when it comes down to gear this pretty much covers it. I donīt want to be too greedy. Santa still needs some space for the presents listed on my family’s wish list.

Nevertheless a few more nice little things might be a great addition for 2012. First of all the Nikonians Calender is a must be for my studio. Iīm a Nikonian, Iīm a fan of the National parks so definitely this calendar is a must have for me. If you want your official Nikonians Calendar as well, please visit: Shop Europe or Shop US.

usbstickcameraAnd And finally I want to have the new Camera USB Stick. It is such a great cool gift. When lying on the table it looks like a small camera model. But inside it is an 8Gigabyte USB Stick. To get it all you need to do is taking the lens off from the body. If you want to have this to please visit: Shop Europe or Shop US.

Now Iīm really done. Letīs hope that this list arrives at North Pole on time.

Once again we approach that time of year when the urge to give is the strongest. All of us at the Nikonians Photoproshop wish you — your family and friends a Happy Holiday Season!

We traditionally double check our inventories and look for great deals to make your gift shopping more affordable, and this year we invite you to check our Holidays Specials:

Lightsphere II flash diffusers, leg wraps, camera holsters and tripod bags, assorted camera plates and more are now featured. Offers are valid until stocks last.

You will enjoy the addition of white cross-out lines on our prices during this special, indicating your savings potential.

Make sure you scroll through the three pages of specials (nearly 50 at last count).

SPECIAL NOTE for our Nikonians members using the Photoproshop in Europe. Most of the items mentioned in this newsletter are also available "across the pond." Simply click on the Nikonians Photoproshop map for your chosen region.

Gift Giving
For fast reference we have also prepared a
Gift Giving Ideas page with items ranging in price from less than $20.00 USD to $100.00.

These are the items guaranteed to put a smile on the face of a fellow Nikon enthusiast or Nikonians member.

They include the popular hot-shoe mount bubble levels (in both two and three axis models), our top selling Nikonians Pro Strap for your camera and the tiny digital single-lens-reflex camera in the shape of a Nikon which is actually an 8GB USB flash drive in disguise. These flash drives were great stocking stuffers last year.

Check the top of the page and have a look at our brand new Nikonians 2012 Calendar!

If you want to leave the purchasing decision up to your gift receipient, we have you covered.

Check out our gift vouchers in increments of $25, $50 and $100 USD.

Want to go large with that order?

We're getting enthusiastic response to some of our specialized items such as the Solmeta Geotagger N3 GPS Receiver. This is a 3-axis smart camera GPS unit, with very quick and highly accurate GPS lock.

It is compatible with Nikon D3, Nikon D3X, Nikon D3S, Nikon D700, Nikon D300, Nikon D300s, Nikon D200, Nikon D90, Nikon D2X, Nikon D2Xs, Nikon D2Hs, plus Nikon D3100, Nikon D5000, Nikon D5100 and Nikon D7000.

Another popular item is our line of MAGICA products.

Nikonians co-founder J. Ramón Palacios spent many years researching the ideal tripod and he used the expertise of fellow members of the community to narrow that search down to MAGICA.

You can read his story on the search and results and judge for yourself.

---and Now-- the Hubs---
The collaboration between Markins and Nikonians on advanced camera support since 2004 has led to many innovations in the industry
and now Markins brings us a new product, reducing the final weight of a MAGICA for added convenience in the field, improving the ability to pack it inside luggage for airplane travel by reducing its top diameter, while maintaining its vibration absorption quality.

The Markins TH-200 and TH-300 Hubs replace the platform hub reducing weight and top diameter of Series 2 and Series 3 carbon fiber tripods respectively, whether a Mountaineer or a Systematic model, providing a slim profile while keeping the sturdiness and vibration dampening of the previous TB base plate based MAGICA.

Protect your investment
We now have an expanded catalog of
LensCoat protection for your lenses and DSLR bodies.

These lens covers camouflage your 14mm to 800mm lens in a variety of patterns. They are manufactured from 100% closed-cell neoprene and offer protection from bumps, jars and nicks.

They also provide a thermal barrier, protecting your hands from cold lenses in lower temperatures. They are easy to install and remove, sliding on like a sleeve and leaving no residue on the lens. LensCoat™ lens covers are waterproof, providing protection in harsh conditions.

Other features include clear, flexible UV plastic windows over the AF/VR controls and the distance-scale window. The cover has custom holes revealing your alignment for lens changes to be made without removing the cover. They are available for a wide variety of lenses and for teleconverters.

Your purchases help sustain the growth of the Nikonians community. We thank you for your support!

Make money on each Nikonians Membership with our online affiliation program. All you have to do is place a link and make up to $40 bucks per membership.
