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!

Pros: Already described by everyone, I share.

Cons: Boh, if I'd said "it cost too much to new" , I would have discovered hot water... But quality pays off. Maybe a couple more megapixels, you know, would be convenient when you run like me, a stubborn donkey to use only fixed at weddings.

Opinion: I wanted to buy a used at all costs: mine has almost 190,000 (one million nine hundred thousand) shots, aesthetically flawless, shutter replaced at 160,000 the first time!!! I'd say almost a world record. However, the dials do not mention imperfections, tyres in excellent condition. Perfect buttons. Slightly uncertain the focus in low light and low contrast conditions, but it is an old woman, to be praised anyway. No, it's not a sales announcement, but just the description of how a reflex, which cost a bang, has its justification in shouting: put me to the test, I'm as expensive as palladium but indestructible!!! For those who have not yet understood my judgment is that if necessary I will certainly change the shutter once again, and one more, but until there is better at an honest price, will stay with me, indeed thinking about it, I think will always stay with me. As any high-end reflex will give you the maximum of emotions, only with excellent Nikon Pro lenses, I do not talk about super canvases, I do not use them; Sigma art are amazing in mate. In particular the D4S amazes me every time for the results in extreme conditions and has improved the way I work, never goes wrong; If he makes a mistake, it's your fault. I forgot, paid 1300.00 euros, obviously used. I suggest: don't buy compatible duracell batteries, they don't last anything. Better the originals even if they cost like the dro... So much! Using low-level lenses the result does not go crazy. But still interesting. Maybe as standard I would suggest to propose on the flagships, straps suitable for weights that are usually high, if you combine it then with pro optics. The original one hurts after a while. I recommend, try it!!

Pros: All

Cons: 16Mpixel

Opinion: A few words I'm excited about this D4s ,you can quietly shoot at 10000 ISO and with PP pocco come out beautiful shots,up 6400 iso exceptional. Processed files, even seems to have more pixels. Autofocus not like my D850, but D4s is not a newer model! However, more than satisfactory for subjects even in flight (snaps easily). All commands in its place ,XQD very fast and many other things. Only thing I'd prefer a little megapixel more,but you can't have it all! Highly recommended since used price is abastanza lowered.
