ellis_vener_photography Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 it is simply a patent sharing agreement. Canon has these with Microsoft as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
photo5 Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 All this probably means is Microsoft will be able to read NEF files from the desktop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john schroeder Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 This is more than likely a move, as stated before, to allow Windows to display RAW files properly. Wireless cameras were also mentioned in the announcement as well. Hopefully Nikon and M.S. will get together and work out some protocols so the WiFi enabled Coolpix and DSLR cameras will integrate with Windows more smoothly.

yakim_peled1 Posted August 31, 2008 Author Share Posted August 31, 2008 >> it is simply a patent sharing agreement. Canon has these with Microsoft as well. I didn't know that. My fear was Nikon will start working on MS OS. Happy shooting, Yakim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
