    I'm still using my 4 D3 nikons and love them. Full time pro, 3 have had new shutters and between the 4 of them I'm well over 1,000,000 shots. I do a lot of news and sports and these just work, love them

      The Nikon D3 is always be a great canera. . Have 6 of them and the clicks are well above the 800.000 and still shots perfect. Use it for portraits and risky places. Seek the perfect picture that come one in a lifetime. The Nikon D4 is the last best camera that Nikon have built. Shoot always with metal prime lenses since i had a Nikon F5.

    From my personal experience, the secret BEST buy full frame Nikon camera is the d600/d610! Everyone was scared of the shutter leak issue so soooo many were being sold for cheap and people stayed away from them and therefore it’s one of those that’s just off the radar so it can be had for cheap. 610 didn’t have shutter issues, and early 600 with the issues got 610 shutters put in them for free from Nikon. it’s the predecessor to the d750, and it’s a damn good camera. I’ve always used it as backup to my d810, and most of the time it was the main cuss it was just lighter to carry around. As per his analogy, so many people buy a new d3xxx or d5xxx for same price as a slightly used d600/610!! Full frame modern camera with video for a few hundred bucks, it’s really the Best Buy Nikon full frame dslr atm for the price point!

    Thank you so much for the video. I’m planning to purchase my very first DSLR which is Nikon D750 along with 85mm 1.8 + 50mm 1.8 G lens. I’m wondering is it still worth to buy this camera considering 5 years old?.
    Purpose of buying a camera is for taking Portraits, Still, Landscape, Bird, Product photography (learning) and of course my kids.
    It would be really great if you throw some lights on my concern to make a wise decision.... other options I have considered is Nikon D780 with one of the lens and Z6ii with the kit lens... apart from D780 and Z6ii I have been suggesting to go with D850 with the kit lens.
    Since you own D800 so I can gain some more information and evaluate my decision.
    Thank you and looking forward to your recommendation.

  • @starwf07
    @starwf07 3 года назад +3

    Certainly understand your reasoning for choosing the D4 over the D810. But let's say I already own a D500, which I love, and have no plans to get rid of... Since that covers my needs for wildlife and sports, would you then say that the D810 (or maybe even a D800/D800E) would be a better second camera than the D4 for portraiture, events, and landscapes? I wonder if a D4 would be too much "overlap" in what the camera specializes in. If I buy a second body (which I would want if I start doing events), I'd like to also make sure I'm getting the most bang for my buck across the spectrum of camera strengths. Thanks!

I just love this FN camera, and I love consistency and dependability without having to change lenses with having multiple cameras - especially sports. Damn, I love this camera.

    Just discovered your videos and I must say I’ve found them really helpful. I’ve been a Canon user and shoot mainly aviation. I’m considering the D850 as an upgrade and would like your thoughts on whether the D850 is a good choice for fast moving aircraft photography. I’ve got a budget of around £2000 for a used one and will probably get a 100-400mm lens as well. Really enjoy the honesty of your reviews.

If the time comes to upgrade the nikon I really don’t know where to go my gut tells me the D5 or 6 just because I love the look and feel of the D series yet so much talk of the Z series. Fingers crossed the D3s lives longer than I do. Saying all this if I drop on a cheap D4 I’m in 😏

    I just tried something on my D3s I haven't tried before. I put my nikon 17-55 2.8 on it and WOW!!!. From 34mm up to 55 its perfect. No vignetting at all. Of course 34mm and below "Yes Vingnetting" But if you crop your shots as i do often its also fine there too. One just has to frame there shots properly to get what you want when cropping at 34mm and below.. Just good to know for me. Its a heavy combo tho. So for just walking around and snapping street or whatever i'll just use the nikon 35mm f2D or maybe 7100 with f2d.

The outputs of the D4, dependability, and battery-life....all WONDERFUL! I have less than $2k invested in 2 D4's. LOVE THEM! I use them for photojournalism and sports, and I use my D800E for portraiture. I have a Tamron 70-200 A001 laying around I don't use, so I am thinking about selling my d500 and this lens to pick up a low shutter count D750 to add to the arsenal. Thoughts? Good stuff, Ken!

Not sure I'd use a D4 much more than I'm using my D3s. In fact, I am considering using the D3s as a trade in on a Nikkor 19mm f4 PC lens. I wish those damn things weren't so pricey.

    If the D810 has problems focusing so then should the D4? I have read that the D810 uses the focusing system from the D4s which is newer than the D4. Was the D4s problematic with focusing as well? I pick the D810 of these three. I would prefer a 16 mpix sensor to 36 (too big of file sizes for my taste), but the D810 is smaller, with more dynamic range (even though its pixels are smaller). I'm off to watch more of your videos hehe, keep up the good work.

      @@julitazebrowski2449 I love it, it's heavy,chunky,but that's part of why I love it. It's images just look like a vintage old camera but with just the right amount of new technology. I do wish it had WiFi capability though,it would be a lot easier to transfer images if I'm not printing them large. It's not as easy as today's smartphones to make a good image without all the computer algorithms,but when you make the right exposure the images are so artistic. No computations from a phone can take those creamy photos. I got a older vintage Nikon lens that makes it even heavier and better. I have a newer D7200 24mp that I like and it's more advanced,but the D700 gives me more dramatic images I feel.

    The Nikon D4 - and its amateur oriented sibling, the Dƒ. I wondered whether the 16mp of the Dƒ was enough; my optometrist had said 12mp was enough. When I got the Epson Surecolor P800, with its 17x22 inch print capacity, I was amazed at the quality of those big prints: 16mp is more than enough if that's as big as you're going to print. Don't need all those megapixels, need those "big eyes".

Maybe I'll consider a D4 by that point.

    I trade used camera equipment (mainly Nikon and Canon) and couldn’t agree more, I have a D4 for personal use and rarely want to pick anything else up.
    The D3s is phenomenal value for money, I’ve got those priced between £390 and £500 at the moment. D4’s, got 5 of them in varying conditions between £700 and £1300. But, the D3 and D700 have also taken a massive slope in value, I sold one yesterday for just £150, I’ve just had to drop all the prices as I’ve ended up sat on them for months on end and still their struggling to sell. Why? I’ve no idea, most likely other RUclipsrs brainwashing people that they must go mirrorless.
    I used to have a D810 when I shot full-time and they are brilliant, between £650 and £900. But, the problem with those is the D800, which are far cheaper by comparison and not really much less camera. The D600 is now pretty much cheaper than the D7100, both are sat around the £300 mark, I guess that’s thanks to Sony. £300-400 for a 24mp FX body is great value considering the capabilities of the sensor, I know the focusing systems ain’t the best and they had issues upon release but now as a used buy, exceptional value for money.
    With Nikon there’s so much to choose from for so little money that I don’t understand why people are jumping to Sony. You’re talking A7r or D800, A7sII or D4, etc. And because they don’t get replaced so often there’s a lot less money to loose. Plus, an amazing array of cheap glass 🙂
    PS - Saw a D4 with 1,000,000 (yes 1 million!) clicks on it and it looked barely used, would love to see what’s left of an A7 after that sort of useage 😂
