Pros: File quality, high ISO, always correct exposure, AF accuracy, white balance, aesthetics. General balance.

Cons: AF speed and sensitivity outclassed by later flagships.

Opinion: The most beautiful Nikon DSLR ever. A great balance that, it seems to me, I have never used, the subsequent flagships no longer have: certainly much improved on the AF side, however, they would seem to have a less satisfactory sensor. I have seven other Nikon DSLRs, admittedly lower class, but only she always exposes correctly, always focuses correctly, and so on. Certainty of the result. As soon as the opportunity arises (before I had the double D700, now I have the double Df), I buy a second one.

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!
