We have completed our site upgrade this morning with the final switch to the new navigation system. We appreciate that this may cause some confusion if you're familiar with the site, and have tried to add measures to reduce this. We apologise for any inconvenience caused during this transition, and appreciate your patience.

Overnight we've completed a site upgrade that we hope will improve your access to products and get you to the information you want faster. You can now view all the variations on a product (colours, lens kits, etc) on a single page and add these to the basket from there. The contents of your basket will also be visible on every page once you've added something to it.

We're continuing to develop new features to make Camera-Warehouse the easiest of sites to use, with the latest information.

Any suggestions as to how we might improve the site are always greatly appreciated. You can email us, or share your comments in the box below (subject to editorial approval).

This extract is taken from an article located on Nikon's own website and explains the various abbreviations used on their lenses:

ED: Extra-Low Dispersion glass
High-quality glass that corrects for chromatic aberration, a type of image and color distortion that occurs when light rays of varying wavelengths pass through optical glass and don't converge or focus at the same point. Nikkor lenses with ED glass deliver superior sharpness and contrast, even at maximum aperture. Super ED glass is a new type that is used together with ED glass in some lenses to achieve an even higher degree of freedom from chromatic aberration.

D: Distance
D-type AF-Nikkor lenses relay subject-to-camera distance information to Nikon SLR cameras that feature 3D Color Matrix Metering, 3D Matrix Metering, and 3D Multi-Sensor Balanced Fill-Flash.

G: The lens has no aperture control ring and is designed to be used with

Leading digital photography forum and news site, dpreview.com, has announced this week that it has been acquired by Amazon.com, one of the world's foremost online retailers. Phil Askey, originator of dpreview.com has said of the acquisition "It will be fantastic to be able to expand and build on [the last 8 years] without compromising our quality or independence. With the support and resources of Amazon we can achieve this." Do you agree?

One of the major advantages and attractions of the dpreview.com site has always been it's objectivity; they didn't sell the cameras they reviewed. Will Amazon's ownership now introduce a conflict of interests or will, as Phil has said, the acquisition provide valuable resources for dpreview.com to grow further?

We'd be interested to hear your views.

We are pleased to announce that, following much customer interest, we have now added SanDisk Extreme III compact flash and secure digital memory products to our line-up.

Whilst stocks last, you can get the Nikon D40X with 18-55 and 55-200mm lenses for just $1299 - that's just $50 more than the single (18-55mm) lens kit!

Update:
We are expecting that the site will be unavailable from 11am to 2pm today. For any enquiries during this time, please call 1300 304 165. Thank you.
