Not that I find their opinion uninteresting, but it has no influence or weight on what I need. A Reuters news reporter is certainly a pro, but he shoots stuff I don't shoot, he works differently and doesn't have to worry about what his gear costs for the most part. The D will sell mostly to non or semi professionals. Their 'needs' are much more driven my what they want rather what they really have to deliver, so they will decide more based on their gut.
Although it's interesting to see what other people think, it has no real influence on my decision to buy or not. I'm a serious amateur. The D appeals because of the kind of photography I do. I can imagine the D4 will appeal more to pros. The fact remains: with the D3 and D it was all very simple. You buy the D3. You are somehow less pro or a pro who wants backup body or on budget?
You buy the D - a. Everyone was quite happy, generally speaking. Things got a bit complicated now. Not if you only wanted a high res body or need a really fast machine with money to spend.
In that case you are one happy camper. If the price was the same, the choice would be simple again. But it is not. For a lot of people de D4 is not an option and they don't like the D maybe not yet. And of course tripod mounted for optimum results. Until quite recently it used to be a Canikon World. Heck, Canon cannot even make believable product announcements any more. I can tell you are either a Nikon-only user or making a joke However, the game played by Canon and Nikon these days seems like :.
Not sure what the value is of the opinions of persons who haven't used the systems in question. I am not even sure I care what a professional does with the equipment. Once they are sold, he can wash his hands and go on to the next project. I'm trying to produce images I want to look at for years. I though this site is for reviews and news And why only for Nikon? Give me a X pro 1 and I'll let you know Reading this rapidly expanding thread, including some very purile comments, it seems obvious that the BIG question is:.
How does the D with a nice big lump of prime glass compare to say a Leica S2, Pentax D or Hasselblad H4D, with equivalent effective focal length glass? We all know the D will be WAY less costly - but how do its images compare to the big boys of medium format?
And its handling? Yes, we need some landscape and studio photographers to come on board here These guys, ok, but they haven't touched the cameras, their comments are similar to what the pros in the forums are saying, not much added. Medium format backs shoot bit files with a bit color depth, which gives way more editing versatility. Also, the medium format back renders an image on a sensor twice the size of a 35mm dlsr. That alone will produce a clearer image, and keep in mind that megapixels only retain more dpi for larger prints.
A 12mp medium format camera will produce a clearer 8x10 than a D, and until it hits its megapixel thresh hold. Moreover, you get a faster flash sync with a mf camera because employs leaf shutter lenses, and they produce a different quality bokeh because of the wider angle view you get compared to a 35mm focal length.
The D is a high resolution 35mm body, not a medium format alternative. If you want medium format bite the bullet and jump up to medium format. You can get a pretty good mf film kit for the cost of a D I think eh no I wish: a digital F2! I don't need 36 megapix I own a Hasselblad I don't need video I'm a photographer I don't need 51 pt autofocus I use Zeiss lenses I don't need 10 fps, , iso GPS turbocharger, intercooler a manual of 75 pages etc I want to tahe pictures of high quality with a camera that works everywhere, anywhere under any circumstances.
I'm a full-time photographer and I have been crying out for extra pixels, as a current d user. I like your following two sentences in particular! I don't need 51 pt autofocus I use Zeiss lenses. I want to win as a photographer that's why I don't care about the behemoth's and will by E-M5.
It will have a simplified version of the 1DX, which has 21 cross sensors. Only one rumour which came out today says it may be dumb down version of the 1DX so until we hear a lot more it is still expected to beat the D 51pts AF. Do not confuse bitrate with size of video. Have you tried freeze frame a D video and compare it to a GH2? D is almost 4 years old. You seem to know everything about the next 5D. You didn't mention that ;. I agree that for video the 5Dnext shluld be better, let's wait and see.
But in every stills IQ aspect I bet on the D And the AF? Well, the Nikon's system has been well tested, it's rated to -2EV, let's see if the new Canon system actually owrks. And res, forget it, if one needs it, there's only Nikon at this point. Taikonaut I know exactly what bitrate is, nobody is confusing anything.
I said megabits. The fact is the D using clean HDMI out will be able to shoot uncompressed video at bitrates over megabits. This is huge. DXOMark supports this. Nikon has just gotten serious about video and because, unlike Canon, they don't have to protect cameras like the C higher in the line from being cannibalized, they can offer features like clean HDMI out, and headphone jack in their DSLRs.
Canon will not do this. The other one doesn't. Probably never will. Clean HDMI out doesn't make much of a difference, especially when considering the extra expense involved. I guess the Nikon and Canon professional cameras are steaming along in a particular traditional direction, can't blame them for that or for existing users seeing the benefits in that approach.
I want more, I want full frame or medium format with low light capability and to effortlessly see what the sensor does in real time in the viewfinder, I want to clearly know and see what is in focus graphically, I want simple yet effective fast manual photographic control and i want good dynamic range as high up the iso scale as i can get. The Leica M9 ticks some of these boxes, the Nikon and Canon tick others, the Fuji x-pro looks to be a winner for me as it seems to tick them all.
Time will tell. D is still today a good choice, I think. I have one and the only lack is: frequent accidental displacement of the focus mode selector. Based on images around the web, D has comparable high ISO performance with less chroma noise than D The assumption that it do not is just speculation.
I am so glad that the amateurs voting in these polls do not run Nikon. BS: the other half didn't have a high MP option at a lower price, with video. The crowd with fps needs and extreme low-light ability which the D is not doing anymore have the D4 and, likely, a D version with D4's sensor eventually.
Nikon know what they are doing. Interesting article. It was good to hear from more than one pro, and I enjoyed Dan Chung's wonderful video of Beijing. The point of such cameras is to think as little as possible. I would like to hear from some ham and eggers that have a lot of excess cash to see how these DSLRs are working out for them.
Video and Live-View questions. I had the Nikon D3s. And to shoot video at the highest quality, you could only shoot for a few minutes continually I can't remember the exact number , and then the video time increased with appropriate decreases in video resolution. Also the Live View mode was a real hassle to get into: you had to pick Tripod mode or something and click around quite a bit. I mostly use the viewfinder, but I'd like option to compose from the screen as you can on almost every other camera.
I read many comments already here and I concur: I would like to hear from professional studio and landscape photographers, too. But, why do stills photographers want video anyway? The D is a very good camera, all was needed was an update!! Nearly every new camera on the market now has to have video, or the photographic world goes nuts - Why?
I'm a stills photographer - I want a Pro digital stills camera, without having to buy a Leica M9! Please Nikon remember what stills photography is all about? Maybe Nikon and Canon should just bite the bullet, and start making mobile phones!!
Yes - agree Nikon - Stay by photo and video do not touch - you know nothing about it and The D is still an excellent camera and I would rather buy than a D with the 36MP!? Because many photographers are sick and tired of having to have two devices to get coverage. Having video built in saves time, lowers cost, allows me to get vid when I didn't think I'd need it, allows me to put it on the iPad quickly for business related sharing, etc.
The D is a great camera, but speak for yourself when you say "all it needed was an upgrade" as I think Nikon made a great decision with the D Instead of taking just stills of a wedding, bridal, glamour session I can include vid clips too. Instead of just stills for a property broker, I can include vid. If the D had been around, I wouldn't have purchased a 5d2- but it did for me what a D nor my other Nikons couldn't.
Kind of like asking why people would possibly want a water dispenser along with their ice dispenser built into their refrigerator. Video is also a part of the net. Yes, multimedia cameras are the future. Manufactures have to employ video to stay competitive. If nikon does not improve video function Canon will become the dominant multimedia camera, and become the standard in multimedia world You're not forced to use the video capability if you don't want.
Or you can stick to the D, which is great still only camera. When Nikon released the full-frame D3 in , it changed the professional photography industry. It was also a pivotal piece of equipment for Senior Editor Barney Britton. But should you upgrade your current camera? In this article, we've broken down the D's main selling points compared to several popular models.
With the release of the Nikon D, we got to thinking all the way back to , when the company released its first 'compact' full-frame DSLR, the popular and highly capable D Even after eighteen months of reviewing the latest, greatest, shiniest and must-buy-me-est new gear, DPReview staffer Carey Rose has continued to use older DSLR cameras for his freelance work.
But now, that might be changing. Is it worth the hefty price tag? We take a look at the Cine, the high-end model in this series. The Nikon Z9 is the company's first camera to feature a stacked CMOS sensor, which brings a raft of new features, including blazing speed and autofocus performance to the Z lineup.

Nik Silver Efex Pro 3, one of the standout components of Nik Collection 4, is a black-and-white conversion tool that goes far further than the grayscale or black-and-white tools built into all-in-one photo apps. For some users, this app alone might be worth the cost of the whole collection — find out for yourself in our review. Focusing was a little hard during turtle nesting season and a nice moon lit night. Another one using the max light sensitivity of the d4, there is no noise reduction on this and the lens flair was by toyota.
This might be confusing. The big circle of light is the moon. The subjects are lit via iPhone flashlight. The lights and darks have a nice balance, the right side was darkened with a gradient filter or brush.

If the front view area width x height of the cameras is taken as an aggregate measure of their size, the Nikon D is notably smaller 29 percent than the Nikon D4.
Moreover, the D is markedly lighter 25 percent than the D4. In this context, it is worth noting that both cameras are splash and dust-proof and can, hence, be used in inclement weather conditions or harsh environments. The above size and weight comparisons are to some extent incomplete since they do not consider the interchangeable lenses that both of these cameras require.
In this particular case, both cameras feature the same lens mount, so that they can use the same lenses. You can compare the optics available in the Nikon Lens Catalog. As can be seen in the images above, the D4 has a battery grip built in. This facilitates image-taking in portrait orientation and gives it additional battery power. In order to provide similar functionality for the D, Nikon provides the MB-D12 vertical grip as an optional accessory see here on eBay. The adjacent table lists the principal physical characteristics of the two cameras alongside a wider set of alternatives.
If you want to switch the focus of the display and review another camera pair, you can move across to the CAM-parator tool and choose from the broad selection of possible camera comparisons there.
Any camera decision will obviously take relative prices into account. The D was launched at a markedly lower price by 50 percent than the D4, which puts it into a different market segment. Usually, retail prices stay at first close to the launch price, but after several months, discounts become available.
Later in the product cycle and, in particular, when the replacement model is about to appear, further discounting and stock clearance sales often push the camera price considerably down.
Then, after the new model is out, very good deals can frequently be found on the pre-owned market. The size of the sensor inside a digital camera is one of the key determinants of image quality. All other things equal, a large sensor will have larger individual pixel-units that offer better low-light sensitivity, wider dynamic range , and richer color-depth than smaller pixels in a sensor of the same technological generation.
Further, a large sensor camera will give the photographer additional creative options when using shallow depth-of-field to isolate a subject from its background. On the downside, larger sensors tend to be more expensive and lead to bigger and heavier cameras and lenses. Both cameras under consideration feature a full frame sensor , but their sensors differ slightly in size. They nevertheless have the same format factor of 1. Both cameras have a native aspect ratio sensor width to sensor height of More battery power can be an indication of longer battery life.
Features 1. The maximum ISO at which the device still captures excellent quality images. Source: DxOMark. A device's overall image quality score considers: color depth, dynamic range and low light performance. The better a device's color depth the more color nuances it can distinguish. The device has a standard memory slot such as an SD or micro SD card slot that enables you to extend the built-in internal storage with affordable memory modules, or easily retrieve data, such as photographs, from the memory card.
The better the dynamic range the system captures a wider number of values from dark to light leading to more details in low and highlights. A raw image file contains minimally processed data from the image sensor. Raw files are so named because they are not yet processed and therefore are not ready to be printed or edited with a bitmap graphics editor.
