Nikon Launches SLR Website
Pack your
camera bags and get ready to take a road trip into
cyberspace!
Nikon has launched its 'Roadmap to SLR Photography' website,
www.nikonslr.com.
Designed as a one-stop resource for information on film and digital
SLR photography, the website is particularly useful because single
lens reflex cameras are the most popular format of cameras used by
photographers. Nikon is the first camera manufacturer to have a
website dedicated exclusively to SLR photography.
The website contains a highly refined navigation system that
provides quick access to information. Using the visual analogy of
three "highway exits," the website leads users to one of three
levels of expertise and offers customized equipment information,
tips, and ideas for taking great pictures.
Users find their level of photographic expertise by responding to
simple statements of purpose or intent, such as "I'm a professional
photographer" or "I take pictures of family and friends during
holidays and vacations."
Each Nikon SLR camera is showcased on the website, and users can
search for special offers on Nikon camera equipment and even locate
a camera dealer in their area.
The website features an extensive glossary that describes and
clarifies commonly used terms in photography.
The glossary is customized to each of the three sections of the
website to easily provide professionals through novices with access
to information with appropriate depth and complexity.

Online Offerings
• Photography.com is making the copyright
process a snap by offering shooters Official Software's online
copyright filing, tracking, and management products.
Official's proprietary online and software copyright products
simplify and streamline the U.S. Copyright Office filing
process.
"Typically, all a photographer has to do is complete the online
form and upload the files. We take care of the rest," Official
Software CTO Chris Haff says.
At Photography.com, photographers will be able to instantly access
Official Software's useful filing tools to protect their photo
collections. They will also benefit from the convenience of the
Official Copyright Account, which allows users to track their works
and manage registrations.
Registration is essential because thousands of dollars in damages
can be lost, per infringement (for each and every illegal use of a
work), if a copyright is not filed. Additionally, registration is
required before a lawsuit can be filed in a U.S. court.
