Nikon D4S

 

The biggest, baddest Nikon camera you can buy, the D4S has an incredible autofocus system and burst shooting capabilities, earning it Editors' Choice honors for pro D-SLRs.

Full-frame image sensor. Top-notch high ISO performance. Fast 51-point autofocus system. 10.4fps burst shooting. Intervalometer and time lapse functions. Dual card slots. Integrated vertical shooting grip. Voice memo function. Clean HDMI output....

Expensive. 16-megapixel resolution may not be enough for all shooters. Time lapse limited to 8 hours. GPS and Wi-Fi modules are pricey add-ons. Lacks built-in flash.

It's designed with autofocus performance in mind, however, and doesn't support changeable focus screens. Don't expect the same manual focus experience that you'll get with an old 35mm F3—if you're shooting with wide-aperture manual focus primes like...

Nikon D4s Review

 

The Nikon D4s is a new professional digital SLR camera with a newly designed 16.2 megapixel FX sensor, new EXPEED 4 processing engine, Multi-CAM 3500FX auto-focus module, a 91,000-pixel RGB metering sensor and a weather-sealed magnesium alloy body. Key...

The Nikon D4s is an evolutionary, rather than revolutionary, update of the two-year-old D4 camera, adding a raft of relatively minor improvements that add up to make the D4s a slightly better camera than its already well-appointed predecessor.

Camera Review: Nikon D4S

 

“S” is for sequel with Nikon's latest fast-shooting flagship DSLR.

Very fast all-around performer with maximum 11 fps burst speed with full AF and AE; superb low-light skills with excellent image quality at high ISOs; small design tweaks make the camera more comfortable to hold during long shooting sessions; high-end,...

Shares many features with previous model including same 16.2 megapixels of resolution, but has $500 higher starting price; extreme ISO 409600 has limited applications; still uses unpopular XQD format for second card slot
