Nikon teams up with Flickr

Friday, October 13. 2006

Nikon is promoting its new camera D80 by giving it away to talented photographers they found on flickr. The resulting site is Stunning Nikon. It features a flash interface with a collage of images which you can click in to, which shows the photos, interviews with photographers, and link to the photographer's flickr page.

I am not a big fan of slipping and sliding flash interfaces, and found the site annoying to navigate, but still I thought Nikon was bring creative in reaching out and bridge "ordinary" photographers with more professional gear by capitalizing on flickr's wide market appeal and acceptance.

Update: I've found a less annoying alternative interface to the photos.
