D4s - the 1st Month

Just a quick video providing a little insight in how and why I'm using the D4s.

Just picked up my D4S today and I can’t wait to start shooting...

You'll only understand once you own it. And it is worth it. TRUST

The D2X(s) has also group focussing and it works great. I did not understand why the D3 did not have that function. b.t.w. I love my D2Xs.

That buffer is sick!!! Great video Moose!

Okay okay.... the S stands for Silent please

Can’t beat the cost of D3/4/5 in 2024. The low light abilities alone compared to many new mirrorless is worth it by itself.

Nice review Mr Peterson. The D4s is not for me because it is too big. But is a fantastic camera.
Since you mentioned Nikon DF.
Is the ISO of the much smaller and cute Nikon DF better than Nikon D4s?
Also the sound of the review has problems. I think should have lower gain to avoid clipping.

The S is not for speed. Many improvements over D4 but only 1 frame per second faster. More brain power by over 30% for faster processing. Much much more !

Great video, good info. Should I buy one though, i am a d700 owner, would it be more usefull, Gt

It's a great camera, but the prices are getting absurd.  My D3s is still my workhorse (and the D800E for things that don't move), and soon we'll only see Doctors and Lawyers with these cameras...and the occasional pro or those who work for agencies that supply gear....especially once they surpass the $7-8k mark, and that doesn't seem too far off.  It's insane.  I guess I'll wait to upgrade to the D4s once the D5 comes out :)

he killed about 1% of the shutter lfie expectancy on this video alone

Watching this in 2024 is comical....a Great seller of Nikon d3 d4s

I purchased D4s in mid June and have used it on shooting birds in flight with my nikon 800 f5.6 lens on quite many birding trips.  However, there were moments of disappointments that the combo couldn't track birds, even when using group area AF.  To be more specific, it took too long to get the bird in sharp focus.  Just wonder whether I have missed anything in the camera setting and would be grateful if you can share you setting for birds in flight.  Thanks.

I just bought the D4s and the color seems to be off, can someone help? I'm thinking its just the LCD color on the back, any help please. Thank you!

Mr moose. Canon 1dx can shoot 14 fps full burst. Unfortunately, the D4s will get smoke with the 1dx.

[stclair]

i can do that with no card in the camera!! 1:19

i'd like to be vary honest and frank, the nikon D4S is way over priced.
