Nikonians.org was founded by J. Ramón Palacios and Bo Stahlbrandt[4] in late 1999 and opened to the public on 30 April 2000 with 30 members. Early after the site launch, it was awarded the Professional photography.com Impact Award and on July 14, 2002, won the Pro Site Award[5] at Profotos.com.
The Nikonians community provides regular podcasts through three different English podcasts shows, and one in German[6] on various photography and imaging themes since 2005. One of the most popular podcasts has been The Image Doctors by Rick Walker and Jason Odell.[7][8] The show has been broadcast since 2006.
The community is active around the world, participating in exhibitions such as the former bi-annual photo and imaging exhibition Photokina in Cologne, Germany in 2006,[9] 2008,[10][11] and in 2010.[12][13][14]
