Nikon D4 SLR Review

One of the new devices from Nikon, the oddly shaped Nikon D4 SLR is pretty much everything that you’d expect out of a super high-end camera: big, solid and heavy, with a pro array of controls and configurations. The controls may have changed a bit here and there since the D3 series, but dedicated photographers, essentially the only target market, for this beast will adapt quickly enough. The connections along the left side of the camera are now including more dedicated video functions, with audio both in and out, so you can listen to your recording levels via headphones like a full-sized video camera. The HDMI port can stream directly to an external source. One major upgrade in Nikon D4 from Nikon D3 is an adaptive crop that allows the video recording to only use a portion of the full-frame camera’s sensor. The crop matches the level of a cheaper DX or 2.7 camera/lens combination, but still uses enough of the sensor to record in full 1080p. This is useful for taking video with lenses that might not be ideal for it, like a wide-angle prime, essentially making a “virtual zoom” without losing any image quality. Nikon D4 allows one to choose from three multi-area mode full HD D-Movie (1080p) video formats: FX, DX or the new 2.7x Crop mode all at 16:9 aspect ratio. Manual exposure control helps keep the same look from start to finish. Built-in HDMI lets you view footage on an external monitor or record uncompressed 8-bit 4.2.2 footage directly to an external recording device.

As far as hardware goes, Nikon D4 uses a decent 16.2 megapixel sensor ideal for capturing fast-moving subjects. The camera will capture only 11 frames a second, which is a little disappointing, with an ideal ISO range of an incredibly low 50 to as high as 12,500, with boosts of up to 204,800. 51 points of auto-focus help you get your target sharp, and Nikon D4 supports standard CF and the new QXD cards for photo storage. This new flagship offers speed and accuracy with a 16.2 MP FX-format CMOS sensor, 10 fps continuous shooting, a 91,000-Pixel RGB sensor and Advanced SRS, improved 51 point AF System, ISO expanded to 204,800 and 1080p video at 30p with stereo sound. A carefully selected FX-format 16.2 Megapixel CMOS sensor is paired with Nikon’s powerful EXPEED3 image processor for stunning stills up to 11 fps. A 91,000-Pixel RGB 3D Color Matrix Metering III sensor partners with Nikon’s Advanced SRS to deliver unmatched accuracy in every frame. Pretty much one of the most unique devices in the market today, Nikon D4 is not really an extraordinary device, but one can settle for it. 

Overall Review

Designed to shoot professionally, the Nikon D4 SLR is the camera that offers 16.2 MP FX-format CMOS sensor followed by 10fps continuous shooting and lately a 91,000-Pixel RGB sensor and Advanced SRS, improved 51 point AF System, ISO expanded to 204,800 and 1080p video at 30p with stereo sound. Making balanced use of CMOS and image processing engine, the D4 offers you pro attributed photos and videos using the wide ISO range. The Edge cutting features and technologies made it possible to capture photos as fast as 10 frames per second and videos in Full 1080p quality. The AF systems, Image Stabilizers, Intelligent controls and layout, with robust body makes D4 one of the top professional cameras around the market. With Nikon D4 SLR in hand, you get the liberty to shoot like a professional photographer. The Nikon D4 SLR, the new name of success, dominates the camera market with its all rounder capabilities incarcerated with design that is good for taking phenomenal photos and videos.
