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
