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.

Pros: professional reflex of the past

Cons: Indestructible

Opinion: I would say that I was a little skeptical to give my opinion on this reflex, not because I did not have an overall judgment, but because maybe in my opinion I would be biased. I start from the point that I own two bodies NIKON D4 , both with several shots behind, one 803000 shots and just replaced shutter with full reflex calibration, the other with 765000 shots not yet replaced shutter but with reflex review just Performed. So I would say that at least a small judgment I can give. The files he churns out are of remarkable quality,' they will say a lot that 16 million pixels are now a little scarce, but I'm not one to shoot and then it starts to cut out the detail that I need, for me the shot is that and I don't do more kinds of interventions like that , I do not need to cut out a detail, that I do already before using the most suitable lens in that situation. She is my companion in many parts of the world, and she has never disappointed me, indeed i was more and more surprised by the totalquality of both the reflex body, the electronics, and the sensor that churns out Files ready in jpeg and raw to be adjusted almost a few times. Right now I do not know with what body to replace, for me they are fine so, maybe in the future mirrorless, but will they be so safe, spartan and resistant as these? For posterity, the harsh sentence. Thank you all. I take the trouble off

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.
