DSLR addicts, our day has come! The Nikon D4 is finally available. I don’t know about you but I’ve been waiting patiently for the release of the D4 for what seems like forever. What is the Nikon D4 you ask? It is an update to the highly sensitive and super-speedy Nikon D3 series. In short, it is the newest piece of revolutionary technology out of the Nikon camp. Even those of you who are die hard Canon users would be impressed by this camera. I know I am.

Upgraded Features:

  • Newly designed 16.2 MP full-frame CMOS sensor with an ISO range of 50-204,800. It matches the ISO range of Canon’s new EOS-1D X. (In case you were torn between the two).
  • It is built for speed; it’s EXPEED 3 processor helps boost the burst rate to 10 frames per second.
  • It has a larger LCD screen, measuring 3.2 inches.
  • 91,000-pixel RGB sensor for Nikon’s 3D Color Matrix metering system that works with the 51-point AF system for, what would have to be, superb AF tracking.
  • Most impressive, it is Nikon’s first full-frame DSLR with 1920 x1080p capture, the DS shoots full HD video in H.264 or MPEG-4 AVC format at either 24 or 30 frames per second.
  • Great slow motion capabilities.
  • Includes a stereo headphone jack, so that when filming you can monitor the sound.
  • Due to larger HDMI port, the D4 can stream uncompressed HD footage in real time to a computer, recording device or monitor.
  • Optional transmitter allows the user to connect it wirelessly to your network
  • Offers an Ethernet port for increased transfer speeds during tethered shooting.
  • First camera to use the new XQD memory card format but also offers a CF card slot.

    Wonderful that Nikon has a camera that competes with the quality of Cannons with video capacity! We are shopping for a new high end camera and were going to buy the Cannon….now we’ll have to consider the Nikon too.
