Nikon D4s
User Reviews and Specs | Submitted by Adam, Feb 24 2014 10:38 PM | Last updated Feb 25 2014 02:36 PM
The Nikon D4s is a flagship DSLRs that builds on the Nikon D4 but delivers better performance due to improved internal hardware. The key area that has been improved is speed and stamina: the camera D4s can shoot with AF/AE at up to 11FPS and its battery can last for up to 3200 frames, compared to the D4's 10FPS and 2600 frames.
Thanks to a new 12-bit "Small RAW" mode, the D4s has a much larger RAW buffer: up to 176 frames in this mode.
Nikon claims that the new EXPEED4 processor is 30% faster than its predecessor, allowing the D4s to shoot full HD video at 60 frames per second (1080/60p).
The standard ISO range has also been increased from 100-12,800 to 100-25,600 in the D4s. This makes the D4s Hi4 setting equivalent to a maximum ISO of 409,600.
Other minor improvements have been made to the autofocus and video capabilities of the camera.

I bought my D4s shortly after it was released and have been extremely pleased with it. I use it primarily with either the Nikkor 24-70mm f/2.8 or the Nikkor 70-200mm f2.8 and have been very impressed with the results. After having it about 6 weeks the on/off switch broke but luckily enough it broke in the "on" position so I could still use the camera. I had it fixed under warranty and have had no further issues since. The battery seems to last forever!! I bought a spare when I bought the camera but have never had to use it while out shoot photos even if I've been out all day long, which I often am. Great camera - super results - the 11fps capability is just magic!!!
