Nikon D4 - 5.0 / 5

Under the hood: Full-frame FX sensor

Image Quality

Brand new design

Performance

Movie Master

To recap

There’s no doubt that the Nikon D4 is an incredible camera. D3S owners might not see enough of an image quality improvement to make the upgrade (ignoring resolution difference), but everywhere else the camera is a stunner. A world-class autofocus system, super-fast burst mode, great movie mode and design are all huge plus points. For the average consumer its £5289 body-only price is most likely out of reach though, so keep dreaming…
