This product has issues. I'm not Happy with it. Its certainly not as good as my D4s with 200,000 actuations. I'd say I've been misinformed about its origins.

Fantastic professional tool to work with - robust when you need speed and precision in critical moments, for example in sports wildlife and journalism in general. Would highly recommend to every professional or dedicated enthusiast.

Well, for starters, it is NOT a 24.0 MP camera; it is a 16.6 MP camera. That being said... To put into perspective my own situation, I traded up from a Nikon D3s to a Nikon D4s, because I became convinced that the D4s was a hugely significant upgrade FOR MY PURPOSES. I do a great deal of sports photography, and a lot of theatre work in low light. The D3s is terrific, of course, so why did I make the change? Rather than go into detail, may I divert you to the thread which finally convinced me that the upgrade made sense, whereas an upgrade from a D3s to a D4 did not. The site is "Photography Life" and the article is "Nikon D4s vs Nikon D4 High ISO Comparison" by Nasim Mansurov. It appeared on March 19th 2014. That might seem to be a limited area of investigation, but where the discussion takes off is from comment 15, by Brad Hill. Thereafter, Nasim Mansurov debates extensively with Brad Hill, and another contributor called DMT, about the respective qualities of the Nikon D3s, D4, and D4s. Brad Hill and DMT provide copious photographic samples on the links to their websites. To ANYONE who is thinking about buying a D4s, or upgrading from a D3s, I would urge you to read through this detailed and fascinating debate. Of course, I also read everything else I could find about the D4s before making the upgrade, but the discussion referred to above is what persuaded me. My own findings? The focusing on the D4s is utterly astonishing, and leaves the D3s for dead. Tracking moving figures on a sport field is uncanny. At times, you feel that you can't miss. ISO? I absolutely agree with Brad Hill. The D4s is significantly better that the D3s at high ISO numbers. To put things into plain language, I was pretty comfortable taking indoor shots at ISO 4000 with the D3s. I am VERY comfortable taking similarly lit shots at ISO 6400 with the D4s. It's astonishing. The camera costs a lot of money. Is it worth it? To me, yes; to you, well, I don't know what your photographic requirements are but, as an all-round, fabulous camera, this ranks as the best I have ever handled. As well as the initial cost, you will require at least one spare battery, at about £150, and at least one XQD card, at almost £200, assuming that you already possess CF cards. I should say, in conclusion, that I am not a professional photographer, but that I am reasonably skilled, and finance all of my photography from money which I earn from taking pictures. To my own mind, I can justify to myself upgrading to a D4s because it will eventually pay for itself. Your situation will probably be different.Read full review
