Lasica spoke with Steve Heiner, the head of Nikon’s digital single lens reflex systems, about how Nikon is faring in the transition to a digital world, its new line of D70S and D50 cameras, and the hullabaloo about Nikon’s encrypting white balance metadata in RAW image files in some of its cameras. Or at least he tried. Heiner, an accomplished photographer, spoke from Nikon’s headquarters in Melville, NY, with two media representatives listening in."</i><br /><br />Some standard information about their product line. Unfortunately, the PR representative cut off any discussions regarding the DNG standard or Nikon's encryption of the white balance data. Still, it makes for an entertaining read.

That was a bad bad PR move. While the WB thing is way over the top, having the PR rep interject like that makes it real ugly.
