Now for Nikon’s turn. Listen to the sound of the Nikon D4; sounds like a machine gun.

Michael Zhang · Feb 11, 2013, petapixel.comA new controversy is brewing in the world of stock photography. Just last month, it came to light that Getty had agreed to license 5000 of its stock photos to Google while paying the creator …
