Pros: Professional body, easy-to-manage files and sensor color rendering, high ISO tightness, good dynamic range at low ISO.

Cons: Nothing

Opinion: Two years ago I went from d700 (broken shutter) to d4 (bought used, but with not many shots and at a very attractive price). While the difference in pixels between the d700 and d4 is modest, I found a sensor with some significant improvements in color rendition and dynamic range at low iso. I'm not a professional and I don't take many shots (I come from the analog world and I keep the imprinting of those who started with film). To complete the shutter of the D4 I would have to live another 400 years. The 800 series (800/810/850) is said to win the comparison with this old glory of the past. Probably, I can't make comparisons. However, since I usually print 30x40 cm or around, I don't need very dense sensors, which, moreover, have problems with micro-blur and, to be used at their best, would require the use of a tripod. I like to photograph handheld (sometimes I use a monopod) and without flash. I don't do sports photos or photo hunting. Favorite genres: portrait in ambient light, concerts, landscape, not very strong macro (flowers...). Why did I go for a D4? Why not get a D750? Try d4 if you can. The shot looks like a shotgun. The files are spectacular. It costs little used (much less than d5 and d4s), but it is really a pleasure to photograph with this camera. In addition, the old ais lenses (I own the 28mm/2.8, the one that focuses at 20 cm, and the spectacular 105mm/4 micronikkor) are also fine on this camera body. Last gem: when you get used to vertical shooting in portraits, there's no going back.

Pros: All: Construction, Reliability, Autofocus, Burst, ISO Sealing

Cons: Don't have it

Opinion: What can I say, superior flagship construction, formidable machine with remarkable ergonomics despite its weight. Impressive ISO sealing, fantastic and ideal 16 Mpx sensor. I've been using it for a couple of weeks at Germani Basket Brescia games and it gives me incredible satisfaction. AMAZING value for money and current purchase price

Pros: Operating speed, ergonomics, robustness, battery life, quality feel, three-dimensional raw, colors

Cons: Nobody

Opinion: Purchased with very few shots and perfect conditions! After two months of studying the machine, I'm starting to get some mastery of the vehicle. Going out almost every day in the early hours of the morning, at the beginning in combination with the signa 150-600s I went a little into difficulty, and then began to get used to the weight. In conclusion I am extremely satisfied to have purchased such a camera body, surely once you try a Pro machine you hardly go back. Every 2022 buying it can only be a bargain.

Pros: read the opinion below

Cons: read the opinion below

Opinion: We are talking about a tank ready for anything and reliable, those who are a minimum interested in buying know very well what these types of machines offer and what they must be used for. First of all, reliability: it is a robust, ready machine, responsive in autofocus and above all in shooting. A real pleasure to use it, and (despite the weight) keep it in your hand does not tire thanks to the ergonomic research that was done during the design. The keys are put in the right place, some as always customizable and light up with the appropriate switch, which I had the opportunity to appreciate a lot since in the time I had it I always shot at night. The battery lasts a lot, I never needed to buy a second one, you almost forget to recharge (obviously never taken in live-view and video almost never). The image quality very good, the sensor returns sharp files with a fairly faithful color, also thanks to the white balance that in most cases is reliable (greatly improved with D4S). Burst we do not talk about it, excellent and always ready. She's called the queen of high ISOs, so I avoid talking about it. In short, for the use I made of it (sport, still life, ceremonies) I was satisfied. On the other hand there are 2.3 things to report (due to the nature of the camera model): The shooting noise is heard, and as if it is heard, especially when you are in fairly quiet places like the church during a ceremony, or at the theater, the CLACK everyone notices it. Taking many long exposures at night I noticed that in the photo there is a huge amount of hot pixels (only after 25/30 seconds) somewhat annoying, take this into account. The autofocus, although excellent, I can not say that it was infallible, some shots I reed it but there may be several factors, such as the poorly performing lens, a not perfect calibration of my model, particular light conditions or more simply it is me who expects a lot ?. I open a small parenthesis on the autofocus: After the D4 I had the D810, a great machine, designed to do something else. With the autofocus of the D810 in some situations I had the frustration of losing a few moments, but I understand that it could have been there given the non-sporty nature of the car (although it has the same AF module as the D4S, but that's fine). Moral of the parenthesis, I abandoned nikon after 12 years for a matter of bulk and certainly not for the quality, now I have a fuji X-pro3 that paradoxically focuses me even in the dark, closed brackets ?. Ultimately, using the D4 is a real pleasure, for the areas for which it was designed then it is the best, you will hardly be disappointed. Take it used now, in the year 2021, you will make a deal because there are used models with a few shots at a price that is necessarily affordable (remember that after the D4S, D5 and D6 came out). Personally I abandoned that type of photography and of course I had to change camera but I can assure you that it was a real pleasure.

Pros: Impeccable construction, AF, burst, beauty and cleanliness of the rows, high ISO, battery life.

Cons: Nobody

Opinion: Bought a few days ago and it was immediately love. I mainly deal with video, but when I can I like to do photography: what the D4 manages to do better. The controls are perfect, as are the ergonomics; do we want to talk about autonomy?! The files are clean, three-dimensional, ready to use. It is now at excellent prices, so I can only recommend it.
