After just having posted on Nikon's retreat from the F-mount DSLR business, I was shocked to learn that the company has issued an update for one of its oldest models, the D7100, an almost forgotten consumer-level camera. The update is a simple fix for a truly minor problem, i.e., a glitch in live view that would cause it to cease working after ten minutes' use. Why Nikon would choose to issue such a non-essential update on a camera that by now should be next in line for discontinuance is a mystery. Nikon, however, has recently gone to great lengths to reassure its DSLR customers that it has no intention of ceasing production or servicing of these cameras, so perhaps the update is intended to emphasize this claim to its customer base and those who may be contemplating a DSLR purchase.
