Nikon D4 Overview

Enter the new flagship of Nikon's D-SLR lineup: D4. Engineered forprofessionals, D4 strikes an ideal balance between resolution,sensor size, image processing and ISO range. Its newly designed FX-format sensor and EXPEED3 processor enable image capture up to10 fps with full AE/AF performance and Full 1080p HD video.Combine that with cutting-edge metering and AF systems,intelligently designed controls, an ultra-rugged body and multipleconnectivity options, and D4 liberates the world's top-notchphotographers and multimedia artists like never before.

With its newest professional digital SLR camera - the highlyanticipated $6,000 D4 - Nikon takes aim at slick video-shooting forsports, action and news photographers. Since Nikon released theradical video-capturing D90 back in 2008, digital SLRs haveinfiltrated nearly every level of professional video production.

The new Nikon D4 is an attempt to recapture the momentum of thevideo-shooting DSLR craze from competitor Canon while addingsignificant upgrades to Nikon's D3 line. In the process, the D4 willbecome Nikon's new flagship and its go-to model for sports, action,and news photographers. Picking up the D4, it is immediatelyobvious that Nikon hasn't taken the D-series completely back to thedrawing board, instead favoring minor tweaks to an establisheddesign.

The D4 is lighter than the D3s, but it manages to offer an increasedmeasure of control with the addition of programmable joysticks.One of those is placed for exclusive use when holding the cameraby its secondary grip, and the result is menu navigation that isstreets ahead of the D3s. The Nikon D4 offers an impressive arrayof high-end features for the professional user. Spending time withthe camera, it's also refreshing to see some of the basic features ofvideo cameras that have eluded DSLRs in the past. It seems sillythat even something as simple as a headphone jack to monitorincoming sound has yet to find its way into a DSLR. That is just oneof the small touches Nikon has added to appeal to a growing baseof professional DSLR videographers. That isn't to say the stillphotographers have gone unnoticed; indeed, they're still the D4'smain audience, with subtle. changes to the control schemeimproving the shooting experience dramatically

Nikon announces Nikon D4 yesterday which is the new Nikon flagship full frame DSLR camera aiming for sports and wildlife photographers. D4 will replaces Nikon D3 & D3S. Nikon D4 are improved in many ways compared to Nikon D3S. Let checks on its advantages:

1. New 16 MP full frame sensorIt has 4 MP more than Nikon D3s, which means it is slightly bigger. It also has expanded ISO (50-204800). However, I predict the best images will be produced between ISO 100 to 6400, the same as what Nikon D3s can offer.

2. New EXPEED 3 sensor and fast continuous burstEXPEED 3 sensor aids in overall performance such as camera responsiveness, AF speed, in camera processing, etc. It also allows for faster continuous burst (up to 10 fps and 11 fps (with exposure and focus locked).

3. Two joysticksNikon replace traditional AEL-AFL button and gives way to two joysticks that appears similar to Canon EOS cameras system. With the joysticks, changing setting like AF points will be a lot faster because it allows diagonal moves.

4. Compact Flash & XQD memory card slotsD4 will have the new XQD memory card slot which is a new memory card standard that has faster transfer rate & capacity compare to CF&SD. XQD card is relatively new. It is smaller in size than CF card but bigger than SD card. Sony launches first XQD card with 32 GB capacity and 125mb/s write speed.

5. Enchanced durabilityShutter durability has been tested for 400,000 counts, an 100,000 improvement over Nikon D3S, and 250 better than D700. Like its predecessors, D4 will be a tough camera, completely weather-sealed.There are some minor improvements/feature that you might like, for example built-in auto HDR, backlit illuminated buttons, compatibility with Many Nikon legacy lenses and DX lenses, 2.7x Crop in video recording, improve 51 AF points auto focus with face recognition capability. Nikon D4 is a great camera for people who is looking for the best camera for sports, photojournalism, wildlife who wants fast cameras that do well in high ISO setting and harsh environmental condition. For existing D3s & D700 users, you will get a slightly higher image resolution and a faster camera. For D300 or D300s users, it will be a great upgrade.

1. It has a 16.2 MP CMOS sensor, with new EXPEED 3 image processor. Canon typically uses two processors in such a camera. The Nikon’s EXPEED 3 configured with this new sensor is untested by 99.999999% of us. It’s PROBABLY amazing. But we need to shoot the camera over a week or two to find out. The sample pics look good.2. The camera has a new bright LCD – should be amazing. We need to see how it works in sunlight.3. The new Nikon has an updated and untested autofocus system. It autofocuses with lenses as slow as f/8 which gives it an on paper advantage over the new Canon 1DX. But the 1DX has more cross-hair sensors spread further across the frame. Advantage nullified.4. The D4 will likely be the new high priest of those who practice the “Religion of the low-light.” Nikon has held about a stop advantage in low light performance for years over Canon and there’s no reason to expect that won’t continue here – but at some point – just like megapixel madness (Which USED to be the religion that most photographers practiced) we will have had enough with great low-light performance and be hoping the camera companies come up with other or additional enhancements.5. The video on this camera looks to be substantively improved. Again – I want to test for myself, but the samples I’ve seen are impressive. I think it’s safe to say that Nikon and Canon are now neck and neck in this department. Canon had the lead for a long time, but it seems that Nikon is FINALLY taking video seriously. The addition of H.264/MPEG4 format is

important as are longer clip durations, the HDMI port and faster XQD memory card standard. These make the D4 potentially very attractive for video shooters. We also see Nikon at least TRYING to get the audio right –External mic input with manual levels and a headphone jack for audio monitoring.

6. Interface refinements including backlit buttons – it took a camera manufacturer THIS LONG to copy Apple’s idea??? Should have happened long ago.7. 10BaseT Ethernet wired networking. Okay – not sure how I feel about this. I guess some folks will think this cool but my reaction was “Hey Nikon 1998 called and wants its wired network back.” How about WIFI? Anyone? Anyone? Yes you can add the WT-5 but why not build it in? I asked the same of Canon back in October when they announced 10BaseT on the 1DX.8. The new battery isn’t rated as high as the old D3 battery and is not backwards compatible. I don’t get this one.9. The price is $1000 higher than I paid for my D3s bodies. Why? Because they can. The ship date promised is February. I’m skeptical of the ship date and also wonder if both Nikon and Canon haven’t potentially priced themselves out of at least a portion of the market with the steep price on such cameras.
