Friends,

I have been asked to write a new NikoniansPress book, Mastering the Nikon D7100. This book will be on the fast track and will be out very quickly. I'll post more information soon. If you get a camera quickly, keep in mind that we will need 12 or 13 vertical images for including at the beginning of each chapter. Flashdeadline should post a request soon for those images and we can start submitting them for consideration here at Nikonians. Anyone with an accepted image will be published in the book, have a caption below the image, and information on the mechanics of the shot in a separate section of the book. Additionally, each person with an accepted image will receive a copy of Mastering the Nikon D7100 as soon as it is printed.

By the way, when I ordered my camera at Nikonians.org advertiser, Berger Bros cameras this morning, Brad told me that any Nikonians and NPS members that contact him get first dibs on available D7100 cameras into his stores. I think we will see the cameras delivered sometime in mid to late March. You may want to preorder today so that you can get in line for a camera. I hope Nikon releases enough to satisfy demand, without long waiting periods. You can contact our vendor, Berger Bros at www.Berger-bros.com. Brad's phone number is 800-542-8811.

I look forward to seeing your submissions of vertical images for chapter separators when flashdeadline posts the requirements.
