The first test in the Russian flagship "SLR" Nikon D4s 250 000
It is very difficult to do a review of these cameras as D4s. In essence it is only a professional tool, very highly specialized, sharpened by the solution of very specific problems. Circle of people who really need this camera, and press photographers limited moneybags. And so, and others, this article is not very interesting. First and so everyone knows about it, the second is like it is, if only the best. And it's about her, and so is known in advance. The new flagship of Nikon - the real peak of evolution reportage camera.
We, mere onlookers, destined to just enjoy the fact how much good it is, and a little sobered by the side effects of her incredible steepness, that have too enthusiastic arose to give a couple of extra bodies for it.
Outside
By tradition, we begin with the appearance of the camera (main characteristics can be found in our catalog ).
Nikon D4s - very large and heavy camera. This was expected. Compared with the youngest full-frame camera in the line Nikon, D610, the difference in weight is 600 grams. The difference in volume - 1.75. In this case it's a bit easier than its predecessor Nikon D4. Dimensions are identical. The same can be said about the ergonomics and button layout. Everything is exactly as well.
Left row of keys is traditional SLR Nikon:
On the right side is a button to lock the focus, the steering wheel selector to navigate the menu and switch the focus points (for this purpose, you can use the joystick located above). All of these controls are duplicated for portrait and landscape orientation of the camera. Also on this side is lock the focus point. Right are slots for memory cards CF and XQD. System tricky to get to them, you must first pull the lid, press the button.
Located below the LCD display with information about the format of photos, set the white balance, and ISO. To his right button on the "live view", switch to video, and under it - quick access to the installation ISO, the format of captured images and their size, white balance and microphone.
The viewfinder eyepiece has a rubberized edging and a special curtain. Need it for proper exposure metering when shooting at night.You can adjust the diopter. And, unlike most other cameras Nikon, wheel well recorded and does not turn in any contact with clothing.
At the top there is another LCD display, this time with information about the control mode ekspoparoy, shutter speed, aperture, battery charge, counter shots remaining, active memory card, focus mode, focus area, as well as the method of metering and exposure meter. Behind him is a button to switch between modes A, S, P and M, and the exposure compensation button to start recording. Even further behind her shutter button and combined with it the lever to activate the camera and lighting. Underneath there is another steering wheel. Located to the left shoe flash (built-in flash is not here).
On the left is the mode switch shutter (single, slow serial, serial rapid, quiet (in theory, in practice - very much), with a delay and manual. All they switch after pressing a button, accidentally spinning. Above this disc are keys for quick access to bracketing, flash and exposure metering.
Front, on the left side of the lens, it is latch lever to enable / disable "screwdriver", and a button to switch the focus mode. On the right side - the diaphragm and repeater function key. Above them - sinhrorazem flash interface for remote control.
On the left side are sockets for USB, Ethernet and HDMI, as well as jacks for headphones and microphone. Underneath this lies the key to all unscrewing which you can reach the battery compartment.
All buttons are backlit.
In this round out with the boring part of the review. We have listed a reason in some detail all camera controls. As you can see, to almost any setting can be reached immediately. The speed and the speed again. All ground under it to take a picture with lightning speed.
Inside
Nikon D4 has been so good that nothing revolutionary novelty not to be expected. It's just a routine update, as well as a fresh reason to leave their familiar D3 and D3s towards progress. Nevertheless, D4S focuses more rapidly than noise, and has a higher rate of resource release.
Processor
Virtually all avenues dedicated new camera, referred to the new processor EXPEED 4. And this is understandable, since a number of improvements tied on it. What did he give us?
First, a 30% increased capacity chamber. Nikon D4 can give 170 pictures in JPEG format with a resolution of 16 megapixels and about 75 14-bit RAW-files. D4S is capable of up to 200 JPEG frames and 104 RAW. This is if you use XQD memory cards for CF modest figure. Sometimes buffer overflow still come across. However, taking D4S and save on memory cards more illogical.
In addition to speed new signal processing algorithms have raised the bar even higher working ISO. We talk about it more when we get to the matrix.
