Pros: AF-sensor-ruggedness-ergonomics- battery life- iso- white balance- burst- backlit buttons. Reliability in general.

Cons: Nobody.

Opinion: Wonderful machine, starting from the body, it is exactly as a work tool should be that must last over time, from a sense of reliability that only a flagship can give you, the buttons are many and all positioned in the right place and the fingers fall perfectly, the weight of the body does not bother me in the slightest. The files are nice and clean even if you raise the sensitivity a lot, you can shoot really in very little light and get a nice photo. The autofocus is very fast. The sound of the shot is poetry and the burst is a pleasure. The optical viewfinder is a phenomenal thing. When they write that with this camera you learn to photograph it's the truth, you don't have all the technology, automatisms and megapixels of today's cameras so the photo is only you take the photo. In a historical moment that is now all for mirrorless cameras, I sold this system to return to reflex with a 10-year-old flagship and I am honest I have not regretted it in the slightest, so much so that I am considering the purchase of a second similar body.

Pros: AF - Sensor - Ergonomics - Tropicalized - High ISO

Cons: Nobody

Opinion: 2023 where the mirrorless take positions and do nothing but talk about Z6II and Z9 I took advantage on the second-hand market of a D4S Nital with 16000 shots (New) at the modest figure of 1400 euros. Sent to CSA of Rome (COMPUTERIZED CALIBRATION AF VALUES - FOUND FRONT FOCUS CLEANING AND MAPPING CLEANING MODULE AF SENSOR UNIT CONTROL BAYONET CLEANING CMOS SENSOR FIRMWARE UPDATE TO VERSION C1.33 - L2.018 CONTROL VALUES AF-VALUES AE CLEANING MIRROR BOX NUMBER OF SHOTS 16.624 FUNCTION CONTROL). Happy as a child with his toy I set to work to see if the calibrations performed by the CSA of Rome were DOC taken my Spider lenscal and to my surprise no AF Fine Tuning needed. Well I will update my review in 1000000 shots :)

Pros: AF improved compared to the D4, very robust body and perfectly the same as the previous one in the arrangement of the keys, with all the advantages of the case ..... double memory card while preserving the CF (with all the cards I have... I would have been sorry to throw them...), current price on the market of the used finally "human"......

Cons: maybe the 16mpx, but I honestly do not feel the need for more, which would go among other things to weigh on the management with the PC during the post .....

Opinion: Taken very recently at RCE Padova (I thank Marco for his availability and patience....) with 44k shots, practically out of running-in, the previous owner had used it really well, he does not have a smear that is one!..... sometimes a little luck does not hurt..... Coming from the D4 I immediately noticed how the AF improved in speed and management, I used it by boat the other day and the improvement of the AF I noticed immediately, to evaluate the seal at the high iso (but already the D4 triggered me all night at 12800 iso without problems, I believe that here too the situation has improved ....). Practically identical to her sister you appreciate everything (weight, size, keys all in their place, menu very simple to use), either you love it or hate it, it is not for everyone as a size. To evaluate the tires that cover the metal cover, I read that in some specimens they come off ..... The quality of nikon sensors does not disappoint, I had the D3 (12 mpx) with which I had 50x70 photos printed, without any problems, so the 16 of the D4/D4s for me are largely enough, a photoamer like me with such cameras also has too much quality to take advantage of....... I think the next step (D5) I won't do unless I get an exaggerated fortune (......) this camera I think will be my ultimate.

Pros: Key arrangement, AF, burst, buffer, operational speed, File

Cons: nobody, not even the weight

Opinion: I start by saying that 4S I used for a year and a half and I gave it away to move to ML. And I'll be honest. coming from a D750 I expected more on the AF side. In any case the 4S is a war machine, where the keys are arranged perfectly and the body is fantastic! Convenient keys that light up. Af side... then, as mentioned above, I found that the AF is virtually identical to the D750. The photos (naturalistic/sports) that I used to do with 4S, with no difference in results. In any case, the AF is always precise and lightning fast, especially when working with the right lenses. I didn't use 3D much, but that little worked pretty well. It must be said that when the scene/subject is little contrasted and the light goes down, even the 4S can make a thimper! Also doing landscape and architecture I found the RAW file really great in dynamic and very workable range, even at high iso. The noise is not true that it is non-existent, you can see it even at iso 1600, but the grain is so fine that it does not create any problems. The noise of chroma comes out at very high iso. Another thing to keep in mind, which I have never read in other reviews, is that those who, like me, also use it for landscapes and long exposures, have to deal with numerous hot pixels, even at relatively low iso and with exposures from one minute up. In each case it is a once-in-a-lifetime machine!

Pros: Already described by everyone, I share.

Cons: Boh, if I'd said "it cost too much to new" , I would have discovered hot water... But quality pays off. Maybe a couple more megapixels, you know, would be convenient when you run like me, a stubborn donkey to use only fixed at weddings.

Opinion: I wanted to buy a used at all costs: mine has almost 190,000 (one million nine hundred thousand) shots, aesthetically flawless, shutter replaced at 160,000 the first time!!! I'd say almost a world record. However, the dials do not mention imperfections, tyres in excellent condition. Perfect buttons. Slightly uncertain the focus in low light and low contrast conditions, but it is an old woman, to be praised anyway. No, it's not a sales announcement, but just the description of how a reflex, which cost a bang, has its justification in shouting: put me to the test, I'm as expensive as palladium but indestructible!!! For those who have not yet understood my judgment is that if necessary I will certainly change the shutter once again, and one more, but until there is better at an honest price, will stay with me, indeed thinking about it, I think will always stay with me. As any high-end reflex will give you the maximum of emotions, only with excellent Nikon Pro lenses, I do not talk about super canvases, I do not use them; Sigma art are amazing in mate. In particular the D4S amazes me every time for the results in extreme conditions and has improved the way I work, never goes wrong; If he makes a mistake, it's your fault. I forgot, paid 1300.00 euros, obviously used. I suggest: don't buy compatible duracell batteries, they don't last anything. Better the originals even if they cost like the dro... So much! Using low-level lenses the result does not go crazy. But still interesting. Maybe as standard I would suggest to propose on the flagships, straps suitable for weights that are usually high, if you combine it then with pro optics. The original one hurts after a while. I recommend, try it!!

Pros: All

Cons: 16Mpixel

Opinion: A few words I'm excited about this D4s ,you can quietly shoot at 10000 ISO and with PP pocco come out beautiful shots,up 6400 iso exceptional. Processed files, even seems to have more pixels. Autofocus not like my D850, but D4s is not a newer model! However, more than satisfactory for subjects even in flight (snaps easily). All commands in its place ,XQD very fast and many other things. Only thing I'd prefer a little megapixel more,but you can't have it all! Highly recommended since used price is abastanza lowered.

Pros: Robustness and feeling of reliability, performance in recovery, files not huge but very nice. At The moment they are about 350k with no problems.

Cons: No Real. of Course, if you buy a D4s you should know what it's like to meet in terms of clutter and weights.

Opinion: I put 9 and not 10 only for the autofocus, which undoubtedly is more performanant on D5/D500, especially in low light, for the rest is definitely a great machine. I Was one of many who waited for the D850 (having the D500) expecting, expecting, expecting... In Milan in 2017 in November I had the way to try the D850 and I had also liked (we would miss!) only that I was burning this endless expectation. Then, under Christmas, I go to a local store to see a D4 for a friend. She wanted to give inside her D3 and as far as I was concerned the car was in excellent condition, but the shopkeeper was pulling too much on the price. On the other hand it served me to make a comparison and leather I was better with the D4, so I started looking in the used until I found a D4s in Vicenza at a price I could afford (even cheaper than the D850), I went to see her , I liked it and I took it. Up to 8/10k is very clean, from 1600 to 3200 exceptional ISO.

Pros: File management, High ISO, AF speed, body solidity

Cons: For now nothing, perhaps a little weight even if well balanced.

Opinion: I recently bought this beautiful FF, what to say is a pleasure every time you shoot, a mistake a shot in the AF, the files are workable, I can afford not to think that the ISO car took me to 6400 as much 'image is clean the same, even when you roll the file holds very well, in short, I've never had a body FF that has given me all these satisfactions, and I only took a month or so, who knows in a year ...

Pros: Sensitivity, speed, tonal width.

Cons: still nobody

Opinion: Truly extraordinary. Beyond my expectations. Certainly not pocketable, but very ergonomic and (finally) the illuminated keys (yes, as in nokia 3310: D). If you accidentally shoot at 6400 instead of at 400 ISO and print 13x18 you probably will not notice anyone. The settings menu is very complete and allows customizations on each parameter.

Pros: Indestructible body, exposure meter, sensor, burst

Cons: Cost, weight

Opinion: I can only repeat what I have just written about the D4 review. "There is not much to say, it is an exceptional machine. Amazing aluminum and magnesium body, commands in the right place and, albeit illuminated, the ability to use both CF and fast XQD, galactic viewfinder, really handy grip, inexhaustible battery, shooting speed similar to a machine gun, shutter tested for 400,000 shots, excellent AF even with poor light, sensor designed for Mars (only 16 mpxl but snaps at 6400 ISO and looks like that's 400 ...) and so much so why buy one used with a few clicks today, in the year of grace 2017, can be one of the best deals for a loving cameraman or any professional. "I add that on D4s, af is still improved, that the sensor looks - albeit a little bit - more pixellated. Automatic white balance and ISO cars have reached superlative levels, matrix precision is now perfect, new bacteriamore powerful. All praise and no magagne? Well, no, unfortunately Mom nikon has signed us: before I take my I have tried a lot and there is not one, say one, which has the af tailed to the millimeter. Many do not notice it because they go out of their way by closing at f8 or higher, or because they are of good mouth and content themselves, but such a measuring instrument can not work that way. And then there's only a TA calibration (but wait for 15-point corrections) or, better, rally the AF group into assistance. I had all the Nikon FX and I especially enjoyed the DF's lightness and the unparalleled beauty of the files produced by the D810, but the D4s is a step above all, its balance is proverbial, in my opinion it's the ultimate machine. .. NOTICE: The writer is not an influencer or a guru, nor does one who downloads other images from the network to impute unlikely improvisations. I'm just about forty'years a passionate nikonist of photography and photographic material and my opinion is not gospel, but only the result of empirical experience. The objects I write really buy them, I play a few months and if I do not like them, but always and in any case of material at the moment in my possession. I do not make the copy paste of reviews taken here and there on the net, if I'm talking about an item it's just and because I had in the house the time it took (at least months) to try to figure it out. I often go against current, but this does not take my sleep, as far as possible I try to help young aspiring photographers who give a weight to their savings. But, I repeat, I do not bring the verb ...

Pros: Operating Speed, FPS, Autofocus, XQD Slots, Building, File Quality

Cons: Price also in used, shooting noise!

Opinion: I took it as second body to side the D5. The quality of the files that it sucks is excellent, with the robustness that the nails can plant in the wall. Lightweight, very workable but excellent quality is the non plus ultra for sports, nature, wedding, concerts. The high iso hold is monstrous and the autofocus does not mistake a shot. The cost also in the used is kept high, but it is the only rival in the Nikon D5 home! Noisyer than the D5 looks like a minigun!

Pros: Construction, AF, ergonomics, file quality, speed

Cons: Nobody

Opinion: Excellent machine, a flagship lady who adapts to everything. great body, built in Japan, with each button at the right place. Among the advantages definitely its speed, resistance to high ISO, AF speed, the dynamic range, the quality of the sensor that despite having 'only' 16mpx churns exciting file. Little to add a flagship is always a flagship ... if you claim as this machine gives back what we seek.

Pros: Construction, AF, ergonomics, image quality.

Cons: Wear grip tires.

Opinion: exceptional car, if in the process of recovery will make things right pulls out files perfect without having to waste time in post-production. Excellent yield to high iso, operating speed and robustness are its forte. The only drawback are the tires that cover the aparecchio, as in all professional Nikon over time tend to be longer and unstuck ... amazing that they have not yet found a remedy.

Pros: Efficiency autofocus much more powerful D3S and D4 !! sensitivity at high ISO really rocks!

Cons: price much higher in Italy !!! and not compatible with some CF as the new kingston from 32giga !!

Opinion: I found a body in a very fast shooting performance for sports photography with AF-S lenses last generation is very satisfying !! at high ISO allows you to shoot almost in the dark, giving great advantages when shooting freehand !! White balance infallible even in critical conditions. Excellent also the exterior trim with illuminated buttons and shortcuts. An absolute benchmark in professional photography.

Pros: Autofocus improved by at least 30%, very easy system to groups for more accurate autofocus, burst improved and more precise, automatic white balance superb and precise even at high ISO, metering improved meccamismo mirror and shutter improved (quiet shutter-release improved.) The video I have not tested, but those who did gave positive opinions, even as regards the recording in full HD and ability to adjust the microphone menu.rn

Cons: For my taste I would have preferred a dual XQD slots that I think the most reliable, but I must admit that I'm fine even with dual-slot system which includes a CF.Al only this time, if there will be updates will write!

Opinion: Body extraordinary machine. It was already the D4 but this update has me colpito.Il automatic white balance is perfect until even at high ISO, while maintaining detail and colors! Autofocus stupendo.Soddisfatto! RNLA measurement matrix has improved a lot and now can detect faces under scatto.rnAnche the new battery has a battery charger and the new high school was riprogettato.rnrnIl sensor seems to be new and redesigned!
