Prosophos is now using Blockchain!

2018, Favourite, Inspiration

I’m happy to announce that Prosophos.com is now being managed with Blockchain technology.

The posts have always been data-rich and time-stamped, but now a cryptographic hash will also be included to enhance the value to you, the viewer.

There are many photography blogs out there providing you with images, but only one is giving you Blockchain, all the time.

Just my way of saying thanks.

Update #2: Nikon Service and my D500.

Inspiration, Q&A

I was notified today that my D500 was, after two failed attempts, finally repaired.

Yay!!!!!!!!!!!

Nikon had to replace the entire circuit board; luckily, my camera was still under warranty.

And…

I arrived at the repair facility — only to find out it still didn’t work.

😦

The upshot?

They’re going to do the right thing and replace it with a new D500.  I had to push for this a little bit, but the discussion was very cordial and they eventually acknowledged that despite replacing the innards of this camera they still weren’t any closer to figuring out what was actually wrong with it.

I should get the new camera within 4 weeks’ time.  In the meantime, they’ve provided me with a loaner D500.

Thank you, Nikon Canada.

Update: Nikon Service and my D500.

2018, Q&A, Teaching point

This is an update to what will henceforth be referred to as My Nikon Fiasco.

I hadn’t been contacted by Nikon since their mess-up last week so, fearing the worst, I called them today.

In summary: they need a part for my Nikon D500 and they only ordered it today (perhaps just after my call?…).

It is very unlikely that I will have my camera back in time for my son’s tournament this weekend.

Strike 2, Nikon.

😡
