We love Nikon at Oyster, and our reporters use D700s as their primary cameras.
Our reporter kits include Nikon SB400 and SB800 flashes.
We’re all pretty big photo geeks at Oyster Hotel Reviews, so we were pretty excited about our mention today on the blog of well-known camera reviewer Ken Rockwell. Ken Rockwell is our photo guru — his reviews helped us a lot when deciding what gear to purchase for our reporter kits. As you can see, we really love Nikon.
Tally of our reporter kit gear:
- 19 D700 cameras
- 13 AF Fisheye Nikkor 16mm 1:2.8D lenses
- 13 AF Nikkor 20 mm 1:2.8D lenses

And I am officially JEALOUS
Hey, Great job you guys do. Need any help? I travel lots, and I’m available
I shoot a D300 with Nikon 17-55 F2.8… Well, you can see my gear at my website on the equipment link.
Nice job, once again.

ken rockwell has a very simple layouted yet powerful in content site, its the best nikon information website ever by his own personal opinions and tests.
Great to hear of you guys through Ken’s site. Good luck with your operation.

now that is a “kit” setup i wouldn’t mind keeping as-is! the pics on the main site are stellar and seeing the equipment used to take the pics explains why.
surprised to see you’re using the Nikon 70-300 “G” lens. I would have thought the 70-300 “VR” would be your choice. Are your photographers pleased with the results from this lens? I ask as I am contemplating the purchase of one of these. Any response would be greatly appreciated.
I, too, am a Big Fan of Ken, and am going to your stomping ground, NYC, middle of next month.
Do you play requests? I’m going to be at the Doubletree Chelsea, on 26th Ave, and I didn’t see it in your list.
I think you have completely missed Ken’s point… “the pics on the main site are stellar and seeing the equipment used to take the pics explains why” – ?? It’s not the gear that make the photos… It’s the brain behind the camera that counts… “Are your photographers pleased with the results from this lens?” – Nowadays any lens is made with technology so sophisticated you really can’t use it as an excuse for bad shots. When i started shooting all i had was russian made ZENIT ET with one no zoom, no VR, no AF, no filters lens. The only settings i had to worry about was dial on manual light meter… Stop dreaming, buy whatever, go wherever and excercise your brain and soul… Life is too short for reading manuals….
“surprised to see you’re using the Nikon 70-300 “G” lens. I would have thought the 70-300 “VR” would be your choice”
Did you look at their photos…. it is the Vr lens… lol.
Cool!
@ Pasquale: I think, they are using the VR version of the 70-300 cause the one listed here says AF-S. The cheaper 70-300 is just AF.
Hi guys…the Hotel Review idea is a fantastic one…might make some of them tighten their act up a bit!
The tools of your trade aren’t bad either
Found you guys from Ken’s site.
Man, working at your place would be a dream ! Paid to take photo and checking out hotels. I couldn’t believe who won’t be interested in that!
Too bad you’re not in the SEA, but still all the best to your operation!
Bobby.
Spot on with this write-up, I really assume this website wants much more consideration. I?ll most likely be again to learn far more, thanks for that info.
