Nokia's GDR3 based windows phone update will be called Lumia Black - Nokia camera ,storyteller and more features on tow (UPDATED)

Nokia is readying its next Windows Phone update, Lumia Black, which will build on Microsoft’s GDR3 with a number of new features for its existing WP8 range. The new software will bring features like Nokia Camera, which pulls together the previous Nokia Pro Camera and Smart Camera apps into a single interface, to the company’s older devices, after it debuts on the Lumia 1520 announced today.

Nokia Camera will be released for the company’s 9-series and 10-series handsets, as well as Nokia’s more affordable models; in fact, as long as they run Windows Phone 8, they’ll get the Lumia Black update.

“This will happen later on, it won’t happen immediately” Nokia explained to us. “Some of the key updates for Windows Phone are in GDR3, so the notifications, some of the underpinnings behind it will come through across all devices and be combined together with the Black update.”

“And we’ll have stuff like Nokia Camera, Storyteller, the lock-screen will be integrated as well – it will be even richer, so you’ll have messaging, email, you’ll have notifications – so we’re really looking at how do we reward our existing consumers.”

It’s not the first time Nokia has pushed out an update to deliver newer features to existing devices. The company released its so-called Amber update over the summer, bringing the Smart Camera to the rest of its range after it premiered on the Lumia 925, in addition to the Glance lockscreen system.

Nokia hasn’t detailed exactly when the Lumia Black experience will be released, though it’s expected to be later in 2013.slashgear

Nikon 850 gets leaked ......does the top feature a hybrid EVF?

Obtained by NikonRumors , these two leaked press images give us the first look into what the Nikon D850 actually looks like . TL:DR - Nikon D850 has a larger penta-prism buldge on top , and it no longer features a pop up flash . The bulge will feature connectivity options (Wifi ? Bluetooth and NFC? GPS?) rather than a hybrid EVF(as rumored by many) as locking up the mirror for on sensor detection is still in its infancy ) . Nikon will implement this technology in the future once the tech improves and costs drop down , but by that time they will just feature a Mirrorless lineup as well. Although the new D850 shares the same DNA as its predecessor ,The first leaked images show us that the buttons are now illuminated , this is great for all those "Astrographers" who struggle with finding which is which on the 810 series as backlighting was left out . There is also a tiltable touch screen display and will certainly benefit all those who shoot like to shoot in odd an...
