In a move that was a surprise to no one due to an early leak of details two weeks ago, Nikon
today officially announced the AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G
lens. This is an updates the existing AF NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8D with the inclusion of a silent wave motor (SWM)
that allows this lens to autofocus on all Nikon DSLRs.

Nikon announced a new camera today, the
D5100
which combines the ease of use of the D5000 with the sensor of the D7000. The flip screen has been updated
to hinge from the left side, which improves usability.
