Please note I HAVE NOT touched one of these cameras, and NO I didn’t shoot the campaign. and I haven’t yet spent the appropriate time with the camera to tell you any gory details. I’m assuming I’ll be able to chat more soon.
So.. I (we) knew this was coming, but rather than me spouting off about having played with the system (I can’t), or telling you what your feelings about this system should be (I won’t), I’m turning the tables on you.
What’s your take? Love, hate, indifferent? Insights?

Incredible ISO of D4. Really like professional & advance feature than Mark 2
a few months have passed since this post, camera is know out, some like it , some not so much, shot 20k images with it and although a few things are improved,mainly the ergonomics, the image quality is not s good, d3s has a sharp image with much better clarity, the d4 images are flat, probably to contain highlight better and improve the skin tone, WB is bizarre and needs a firmware upgrade to sort it im sure, many more things but wont bore you but the last point, should you replace your D3s, in a word NO you will regret it !!
Currently have a D3s and would upgrade for the extra edge – but for two things. 1, the cost and 2, the complete and utter waste of time, effort etc that has gone into all that video stuff that I do not want or need. If I were going to shoot video I’d get a video camera. Why oh why do they do it. SLRs are wholly unsuited to it – just look at all the ludicrous kit you have to bolt on to make it even feasible. Sigh. OK three things: 3, why the silly card slots? ANyway maybe I’ll pick up a second D3s cheap 🙂
Well – I ordered one because it is the best available camera for wildlife. However, I am EXTREMELY disappointed in having two card slots with different card types – CF and XQD.
I was suggested this website by my cousin. I am now not certain whether this submit is written through him as no one else recognise such exact approximately my trouble. You are wonderful! Thanks!
