Pros: Current despite age, if your intent is to take pictures.

Cons: Probably the 16 Mpx, but to work they are fine if we count that the D5 has just 4 more.

Opinion: I bought this car just a few days ago, in 2020. Because? I needed a second body machine to accompany my D750 which lately I use almost exclusively for sports photographs and reportage. I've been thinking about it for a long time: a second D750, a D500... However a new D750 would have been feasible, given the current prices, while the D500, also used, keeps a high price. In the end I set out to look for used flagships and came to the conclusion that if I found a D4 in good condition it could be the perfect compromise: more megapixels than the D3s, a more affordable price than the D4s (which anyway, Despite the always high price, around 3200-3500 euros, it is found with the shutter now near the end). So, thanks to a user of this site, I found a specimen held in a manic way, perfect in aesthetics and with so few shots that I can consider it new. I immediately got to work, very similar to the D750 in terms of menus, within a couple of hours I was already comfortable with the controls. A shutter that looks like a shotgun shot, a spectacular sensor: despite its age, it has little to envy to that of the D750. With the same conditions I have photos practically similar, indeed, to the high ISO, in my opinion, holds even a little better. And the thing that struck me the most is the cleaning of the files that churns out: they are perfect, with the advantage that they weigh less and therefore, to work, they are also more practical. The only "sin", if you will, the XQD card, but not so much for the card itself, but rather for the prices they have: the card is still very fast, nothing to say. If your intent is to take photographs, this machine, even today, is really the top, both for the sensor and for how it is built (a real tank). If you want a modern machine that allows you to take both photos and videos, go further (and in any case I would never take a flagship for that type of use, in fact, there are much less expensive solutions or, at the same price, there are dedicated tools that have many advantages over a video camera). With the life of the shutter that this machine has, I'm sure it will give me so much satisfaction for a very long time. If you find an opportunity like I did, you won't regret it.

Pros: All

Cons: If we want the weight but have it in hand is a pleasure

Opinion: I am a photography enthusiast and I come in order from D700... D800... D750... D810. Bhe ' The D4 is simply another planet, never a problem and bring home always shooting with high quality files ' and lightweight if we want. He hardly misses a shot! The camera body then has no comparisons with the others had before, simply excellent.

Pros: gust, buffer, sensor designed on Mars, arrangement of controls, ergonomics, high ISO, price buying it today in the used market.

Cons: For now no one

Pros: Almost everything

Cons: White with high ISO, little discreet shutter.

Opinion: Bought a few days ago, made a couple of test exits with sun. In comparison with d3s that I still have and that maybe I will have for a long time, I seem to have noticed some difficulty on the whites over 1600 iso, which with the d3s still managed to great even up to 12800, it is only a first impression and I reserve the right to correct myself in the future. For the rest is the great car that is and only have it in hand by total security. The shutter is heard even if its sound is music. Autofocus is an infallible, fast, sure, almost perfect sniper. The commands, even too many, are always where you expect them, but I would have preferred a button dedicated to the lock where there are others, the central of the joy does not always respond as it should and often moves the point of focus rather that lock it, you make the hand or maybe reprogram some key to the purpose.

Pros: ALL

Cons: maybe the weight, but it is a pleasure to feel this body in the hand

Opinion: I think I'm an amateur, I'm such a great cameraman, but after trying the D4 I found it on the D4s, and I sold my D810, according to my modest opinion I bought quality in all senses, light and quality files very high, the 36 megapixels of the D810 did not give me that feeling of wonder that gives me the D4s and use it on any occasion with satisfaction
