Nikon announced Nikon View 2.5.0 yesterday, which is a minor bug fix. As usual, NikonUSA is the last to actually have it active on their site, so I'm not at all upset with my being a day late with the news. Another software update came from Microsoft: the Camera Codec Pack 16.4.1620.0719 (is that an Internet address or a version number?) adds D4, D800, D800E, and D3200 support for Windows.
Meanwhile in Japan, Nikon corporate announced their first quarter financial results with absolutely no surprises. Overall profits were a bit lower than originally forecast, attributed to increased sales costs and yen appreciation. In terms of cameras and lenses, they sold what they said they were going to sell and haven't changed their estimates for the full fiscal year, so I'm not going to roll additional commentary on that from what I did at their last financial disclosure.
Other than to point out that all shipments of cameras and lenses are predicted to be heavier in the second half of their year (October 2012 through March 2013) than the first. This is particularly true of Coolpix. Also, Nikon's current yen value is 80/dollar and 100/Euro looking forward, much like that of other Japanese companies. Actual values are a bit under that at the moment, so Nikon would be vulnerable to further yen appreciation, should it occur.
I'll have much more to say later in the month when some products for which I was under a gentleman's agreement not to talk about finally appear (I honor all non-disclosure commitments, even verbal ones).
