Sometimes making a great camera a better one is more difficult than just making a great camera. The D4 fixes every little complaint pro users had over the previous model and adds some unexpected but well-received features. My final take on the D4 is ...
Abstract: The Nikon D4 has some fairly big shoes to fill. Its predecessor, the 12.1-megapixel Nikon D3S was a veritable low-light killer, capable of shooting crisp images even in poor lighting without a flash.But the D3S had one major deficiency: While its 35-mi...
Abstract: In my eyes, this DSLR is unbeatable. It’s the best camera for capturing action, and I haven’t handled anything else that comes close. And when you’re photographing something like the Olympics, especially this one on home soil, you don’t want to miss a thing...

Still, in moderate low light the Nikon D4 was incredible (as the sample videos above can attest). Scenes shot at dusk with the camera looked vibrant, and even scenes shot indoors with the aid of a single diffused light bulb were perfectly bright (and nois...

Image quality isn't significantly better than Nikon D3S, pipped by the Canon 1D X in burst shooting speed, more expensive than most will be able to afford, USB 2.0 output (despite use of XQD card)
There’s no doubt that the Nikon D4 is an incredible camera. D3S owners might not see enough of an image quality improvement to make the upgrade (ignoring resolution difference), but everywhere else the camera is a stunner. A world-class autofocus syste...
Both the Nikon D3 and D3S were hugely important cameras when released, and for a while they were the pinnacle of professional DSLRs. However, with the resolution of the D3S starting to look a little dated, it was perhaps due an update. The Nikon D4 has in...
Great AF system, Noise control, Huge ISO range, Ergonomic body
Complex AF system, AF points clustered, Some movement in card bay
The design changes made since the D3s make a significant and positive impact on the handling of the Nikon D4. Those upgrading may find it takes a while to get used to using the mini-joystick controllers to set the AF point, but they make it quicker and e...
