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.

Pros: Magnesium alloy body, precise self focus, high iso and burst shot.

Cons: nothing

Opinion: I purchased this reflex body for sunrise and sunset shots. I have a Nikon D810 that I use for itinerant naturalistic photography and I have supported the Nikon D4 that I use paired with the Sigma sport in order to also be able to shoot in low light conditions where the Nikon D810 struggles to hook the subjects. What amazed me about the Nikon D4 and the burst shot of 11fps and according to some time tests would approach 12 fps. I personally adjust it to 8 fps and it is also good for fast subjects such as small birds and 16.2 megapixels are good for prints of a certain size and beyond. Ultimately, even if after that there are the subsequent bodies the Nikon D4 still knows how to say its in professional photography and can be combined with any original and third-party lens. I'm really happy with the purchase you made. In nikon d4's mouth.
