Speed, ease of use and image quality are the three main ingredients needed from a sports photographer's camera. Speed, because they don't want to miss any action at that decisive moment. Ease of use, as fiddling with controls can be the difference between getting the main back page image or not.

Camera Test: Nikon D4 DSLR

Whenever a new piece of top-level gear comes along, there's a rush by many pros (and more than a few amateurs) to get it right away. While the D4 does outshine its predecessor in many ways, we would not call it an essential upgrade for still shooters who already have a D3s.

Review: Nikon D4

The Nikon D4 has some fairly big shoes to fill. Its predecessor, the 12.1-megapixel Nikon D3S was a veritable low-light killer, capable of shooting crisp images even in poor lighting without a flash.
Pros:
  • Separate 91,000-pixel sensor is dedicated to light metering, autofocus and recognizing and adjusting to different shooting scenarios
  • More rounded and ergonomic design with lower pentaprism still lets you see 100 percent of what you're shooting through the viewfinder.
Cons:
  • Second card slot is Sony's new and expensive XQD format
  • Built-in mic only offers mono sound
  • Burst shooting is a frame slower per-second than the competing Canon 1D X
