Dom Bower's photography videos are often worth a watch and this one is no exception. Here he outlines what many of us already know about Nikon's new flagship camera, the Nikon D4 - Essentially it will be a great camera but it is not for everyone. While there are plenty of people talking about most of them don't need it and can't afford it. While it can be fun to get caught up in the rumours and excitement surrounding a new camera's release it's also important to focus on keeping your feet on the ground.
From a practical standpoint the D4 looks to be a bit of a tank. It will be big and robust making it ideal for sports photographers (particularly those travelling to the 2012 Olympics) and event photographers but less convenient for wedding photographers (due to their large size).
I have been using D3's since their introduction. Not a big enough feature jump just yet to think about upgrading. Maybe the D800 might be he way to go?
ReplyDeleteMaybe but we'll have to wait a few days to confirm the specs and then a bit longer to find out how it performs in the real world rather than the marketing material. So far the rumours seem to suggest that the D800 will be aimed at film makers and landscape photographers but we shall see.
