  • Forget the D4 - get the D800, half the price, better resolution, lighter and a real OMG

  • Who cares how it's pronounced. We all agree that they make nice cameras and Jared makes nice photos, reviews, previews and tutorials.

  • Comment removed

  • Uhm... I talked to Nikon Denmark, yes I live in that tiny tiny country, and they told me the D4 will shoot 98 frames in continuous burst mode before you fill up the buffer? It's on the new Sony XQD cards tho... It's not that long ago btw. I think it was february 13th in Denmark.

  • OMFG all these specs and an amazing camera and your discussin how to pronunciate the name? WTF people?! :|

  • Why are americans all so defencive about the way they pronounce it? Its a Japanese Name, but Americans are always ITS HOW WE SAY IT IN THE USA. So who cares, you are just one country, the rest of us actually respect the proper pronunciation of names. So is Canon pronounced Cay-non? is Olympus Ol-ai-m-pus?

    If anyone forgot, Nikon USA uses Nai-kon in their commercials because 90% of USA dont know its a Japanese Camera. Am I wrong? but its how we believe it here in the WORLD, get over it!

  • @Pepingco The point isn't that they pronounce it differently because they're in the US, the point is that, like here in Canada, with our English accents that's how we pronounce it. We don't pronounce Canon like Cay-non because that's not how our accents work! Why doe British people say aluminium like alu-miinium. If it were spelt Nick-on, more North Americans would pronounce it like the Japanese do. It's not because of some american pride thing that you're making it out to be.

  • @raptor2285 Actually Aluminium is said the same its the syllable length thats different but taking the Nai-kon concept on that word, shouldnt it be Alu-my-nai-um?

    My offence comes from Jareds ignorant response of GET OVER IT Jared gets all tighty whitey about Nai-kon cause I LIVE IN USA SO WE CALL IT WHAT WE WANT (as his comments seem to suggest) I understands its how its said in USA, but Jared is being childish and typically Americanly-ignorant about the situation. USA is 1 country

  • NEEKON! NOT NAYKON OMFG

  • woopdeedoo, the people in the uk (most) call it n-ih-kun

  • Love that tee!

  • Nikon is pronounce as ny-kon in the USA because that's what Nikon wants. This will stop all arguments... Watch a corporate Nikon TV commercial made fore the USA. Go to the nikonusa.com and watch Ashton saying ny-kon. That means that our pronunciation is sanctioned for our market by the company itself. End of story. Move on.

  • Love the sniffing part, hehe, nasty!!! Anyhow, back to the argument of how NIKON should be pronounced... well, Americans are equally entitled to their 'accent' as much as others do, which means, even though we all know NIKON is pronounced NEE-KON, but hey, it's not a must... or else, 99% of ppl frm my country would've been kicked in the butt for pronouncing PEUGEOT 'pew-jude', just my 2cents...

  • Excellent video!

  • Guys, does the pronunciation even matter?!?! you're not buying the pronunciation, you're buying the camera

  • I agree with Jared.. He does a nice preview of this amazing camera and all some of you dips$#@! can comment on is how he pronounces the word Nikon. Seriously people get a life. And yes here in the state it is Ni-Kon/Neye-KON. Great preview Jared! Thanks for sharing

  • great preview!!

    cheers from italy.

  • interesting, not much of a difference for 6,000 dollars, I might as well wait for the upgrade of the D4.

  • Imagine an 800mm lens with a 2x tele, and in addition to that, using the 2.7 crop video mode. You'd have 4320mm equivalent at 1080p. NASA could film astronauts on the moon. . .without the camera leaving earth.

  • Why does Nikon dedicate an external function button to Image Quality? The last three bodies that I have purchased I set to RAW and never changed it. Am I missing something or do other photogs change this setting frequently enough to dedicate an external button without having to navigate the menu's to change it? When I am in the field, I do not look at a scene or object and decide that maybe I should change this shot to jpg medium.

  • AM SEXY AND I KNOW IT !!!!!

  • Silent picture mode.. Magic Lantern anyone? :)

  • i pronounce nike (nee-ke) LOL!

  • who gives a fuck how you say it. Nikon.

  • For going from 62 to 70 before filled buffer...

    and XQD has maximum of 250MB/s transfer rates, UltraDMA mode 7 has 167 MB/s

    Had it been 2 to 10 times as good to overcome the user pain of this dual card system, Nikon is shooting itself in the foot. Which photographer told them?

    "Hey Nikon, I'd really like to use two different kinds of cards together, one of which I currently own none of, and is preferably made by only one manufacturer, so it will stay expensive"

  • I agree if you pronounce it one way or another that's how they speak. Deal with it if you have a problem stop watching you twats.

  • @wickedsk8 NOPE, people need to GET OVER THIS so called mispronouncing. In the US all advertisements say NeyeKON that is how it is said here from their PR people to their commercials. You can call it whatever you want but thats how it is said here, so i will not be changing how I say it thank you.

  • @JaredPolin

    Tomato - Tumato = Both taste the bloody same :-)

  • @wickedsk8 no offense but fuck you. Im a call it what I want.

  • @wickedsk8 who cares what they call it, all that matters is how good the camera, sometimes i call it nee-kon, or at times ny-kon, i even have a friend who refers to it as a nike, even though they are a sports brand

  • @wickedsk8 hes right in the uk its pronounced Nick-on 

  • @wickedsk8 "Nikon" is not even a Japanese word. It is a contraction of "Nippon Kogaku" and "Ikon." Nee-kohn is just how they pronounce said contraction. So, yes, as Jared says, get over it.

  • Question? D4 or D3x as a all rounder?

  • @MrOurlin d90

  • Whoa. ExclamationPointExclamationPoi­ntExclmationPoint...

    I will buy it just for the smell.

  • It's not nigh-kon. It's nee-kon.

  • @fengtianyuseven get over it it is NeyeKON here in the US.

  • That time laps thing sounds really interesting to me.

  • The card change is no help - so far San Disk and Lexus have said they have no plans to make them!

    Also battery issue makes using D3 series and D4 together a major PITA.

    Also do not need video at all so paying for it is getting tiresome.

  • either he's in a very large room or he's a giant.  not sure its worth the upgrade if you haven't taken sufficient number of pictures with your d3 or d3s. second, its more of a consideration for professionals. me, i will hold on to my d7000.

  • if an american says "Nai-Kon" ... it's ok..

    but if an asian says it, it sounds stupid. lol

  • Please don't say "Naikon".

  • Nice a stop up in the ISO. that's cool

  • Nice camera / stupid presentation "blabla....."

  • Great vid,

  • I saw a green PacMan ... hahahaha

  • I really really really really reeeeeeeeeeeeaally... Want one.

  • I'm a Canon kid myself, but i love your videos!<3

  • D4 is freakin overpriced joke! Hey jared if one falls off of allen's truck holla?

  • That preview made my choice much easier. I go for the EOS 1DX now.

  • I would have enjoyed ISO50 and no downgrade from 24.5 to 16.2 mpix.

  • @eireannsg It's not a downgrade, the D4 is a replacement to the D3S which is a 12MP. I'm sure a replacement for the D3X will come around soon enough.

  • 24fps silent mode?

    why not use video instead?

  • I use Canon but i admit both are good but nikon is specialized on lenses and glass and optics and nikon have better lenses than canon and both are for photography and both have pros and cons so why fight about that i use canon because on budget but if i haved more money and more experience i will switch to Nikon but for now Canon and Those L series Lens are trmendous

  • Anyone buying a D4 will really need to be taking a lot of video to justify it. As a stills camera it's not really what most photographers would need. The D800 may be more appropriate for most with good G class lenses.

  • absolutely amazing, well thought out and explained video

  • Wow, since im broke as a hobo, i really want to try it for skateboard..

    2 question:

    1. Is is D3100 your recording with?

    2. is D300s worth to buy 2nd hand? Im using taking most night shoot and Skateboard and sometime models..

    Thanks if you could answer this questions.. From Sweden

  • The only reason to get this camera is if you are a pro sports shooter. Wait til the d800 comes out or buy the d3x instead if you're a landscape or architecture photographer.

  • @JaredPolin Yes I need a D4. My D3s was just a toy to get a hands on demo how to use it and play around. Like you amateurs got to start somewhere, just like preparation for a big exam. Also why should I keep my D3s? It's just going to lose its value when the D4 comes out.Reinvesting it in a D4 I get my moneys worth from my D3s.

  • you know when you're Fro when no hipster wants to hang out with you and the title of Douchelord has already been taken.

  • 67 people are Canonians.

  • Dude, u r white...

  • BORING!

  • Afro is a cunt

  • OMG!!!!! i can't believe i stayed on here for all those 30mins. i am speechless. I think my D700 is about to go!.

    i agree with you about the Focus, because i have a D7000 as well, and it took me awhile to get used to..specially when i switch back and forth.

    Thank you heaps, really..that was great.

    Husain

  • I am very much happy with my d7000.

  • Any comments about the D4 vs 1DX? 

  • take a look at this ww w.youtube.com/watch?v=0hSFPRGR­3Dk

    

  • I was wondering with the new xqd cards, presumably they have been made for stability of data. And so they have a much larger capacity, and to increase photographs in buffering.

    Have you ever had a problem with 1 of your 2 CF cards corrupting in the card, either mid-shoot or when your trying to load photographs onto your computer?

    PS Ive never had a problem with SD, or my old canon that shot CF.

    Which can be dodgy with only 1 card, but most shoots i switch cards from one to another.

  • @rorrt Yes, once and it's very unpleasant! Few years ago I was paid to photograph a wedding dinner reception and after the shoot I ejected the cf, one of its pin broke-off and was stuck inside the cf. I didn't know it then so i inserted it into the cf card reader and that's when I discovered the problem. Luckily no photos was lost.

    

  • Hey guys look at this REAL PRO links below, quick and easy. Dont worry he will not sell you T shirts. YOUTUBE name under WhichWebsite and also WhatDigitalCamera

  • Long video dude

  • by the way, great review! 

  • @JaredPolin I have a question about selling the D3s. If I wanted to sell mine to upgrade with only 10,000 actuations and is in great condition/shape with no damage. It looks like it came off the shelf from a camera shop and smells new. Whats the base price I should start at? I posted an ad and many people were offering me $3000-$3200 CAD. I was told that Nikon pro bodies don't lose their value until a new body is released. Is this true?

  • @ppyromaniac the new body has been, thus why it would drop in price. But do you need a D4? You have barely even used your d3s.

  • @JaredPolin

    Well If you are getting the D4 for video, I'm sure Canon 1DX would be a wiser choice:) They got better lenses too with faster+quiteer AF. Yes, I know, I was a NIKON shooter. But I love the D4 body design. XQD sucks. Hardly anyone bends pins on a CF card.

  • I personally think 1DX will be better ,but great vid as always..oh and btw the echo is pretty annoying so you might wanna do something about it

  • Is that a built in pacman game at 10:08?

    Awesome, Awesome Awesome!!!

  • Very nice I SHOOT RAW shirt :)

  • Great review Jared Amazing , Awesome : ) I stopped my porn 30 min. for this Incredible review Thx. Dude : )

  • @SwitzPhoto lol

  • The D7000 has the same resolution and is a lot cheaper and easier to handle. If you want to get something new, focus on the lens, not the camera

  • Great review Jared!! As far as the Nikon goes, not impressed enough to invest 6k for incremental upgrades. I Have many Nikon bodies and some a great advances over the previous model, like, one I own the D2Xs and the huge jump to D3s, that was a massive jump in technology but I still use the D2Xs heck I even use my D-200 still and also F4. Don't get me wrong, I am sure it is an outstanding Camera, the D4 and I would get it if I was a pro sports shooter, concert shooter, or night creeper.

  • Nice review .. i believe our DSLR Film maker will use this D4 as their Big Guns for their big movie .. Can't wait any longer .. must have this NIKON killer gun..

  • Nice review Jared! thank you!

  • Terrific preview! Looking forward to seeing the review.

  • youre talking alot man XD

    but thanks ^^

  • awesome 11:29

    xD

  • fck this shit. u looks like LMFAO

  • @KMDZ92 clearly don't know who this guy is properly. he's got photos with the guy out of lmfao.. which shows that long term followers would have said this maybe beginning of last year.

  • Jared, you did an w.o.w. preview and low iso sens. is MUST for every pro.3D tracking,wireless,joysticks etc give another dimension in photography and Nikon knows how to cope with the megapixel myth, introducing a PRO Hi-end camera with 16 mp (more than enough for me. Thank God too for 16mp. I shoot RAW too and I want to see the speed that Qxd card saves RAW images in 10fps (FX mode). I 've seen all your videos and I believe Lilly will love this "masterpiece" D4 too...Thanks for everything!

  • if i touched one i would cry and not wash my hands for 7.57434484844 years

  • Omg I want this camm oh and I watched the vid all the way and didn't get board

  • Thank you for this review... you are always spot on with your reviews and I'm glad you had the chance to feel out the D4... I have mine pre-ordered through Adorama and am expecting it in February. It will be a perfect companion to the D3s... it's lighter than the D3s, but is the shutter quieter? At anyrate... thank YOU!

  • Are you gonna buy one when it comes out?

  • Great video! Very thorough, and I love that you keep an open mind to some of the changes. Thanks so much!

  • ナイコンって言うのねー

  • thumbs up if you sat through 30:17 and enjoyed it. And this is coming from a canonian

  • Any comments about the D4 vs 1DX?

  • which song plays in start of preview???

  • Wow..I'm in. I wanna have its babies too =)

  • AF question in the dark. How does AF work under pitch darkness? I know D4 and other latest models have better ISO capabilities but if it can't see anything in pitch darkness, how does it focus??

  • Jared, you sound like a fat kid in a candy store. Rock on!

  • Would like to see the same lens on the D4 versus the D7000.

  • I think he's on a stage hence the low door on the right. I pretty much want this camera all the same.

  • Will there be a D800 or any other newer pro body?

  • Echo in the room is pissing me off...

  • Comment removed

  • Sensor is made by Sony.

    Guess Nikon was not proud of that.

    The good new the ATG AK1 Un-Tethered Systems are fully compatible with this $6,000 camera just like the 1D x.

  • i cant wait to get my 1dx and the d4 is gonna be amazing i cant wait to see what new freedoms these cams will give us also im pumped that canon will finaly have a lowlight monster. as far as video goes canon owns the market as far as dslr goes.

  • Comment removed

  • I wonder how much the D4 would cost if it were only a still camera and didn't have all the video bells and whistles.

  • its 11 fps not 10..

  • @wa7oosh3 its 11 when AF is locked. Its 10 otherwise.

  • Will the D3x stll be better for studio work ?

  • I would have been surprised if u didn't like it.

  • Canon 1Dx FTW!!

  • My dad is going to get this camera...which means that I will be getting his D2x...for freeee!! It's going to be awesome, considering the fact that a D2x is still worth about $1000.

  • omg....

  • shiny accent.

  • I'm selling a child.........ISO for Ice Hockey is gonna make my life easier.....

  • Thank you :)

  • Im a canon but i still love Nikon..

    No hate, just love :)

  • Can you make a video comparing the D4 vs 1DX? I am wondering about the increased iso on the 1DX. Thanks!

  • Comment removed

  • Time-lapse video in camera sounds awesome. Also many other things! Nikon has leaped ahead in terms of video! The "Why" D4 release video is so awesome.

  • i think Canon 1 DX is way way way way better that jared a nikon loyalist made a preview out of it months before he can even touch it. while he waited for hours just to smell the Nikon D4 before he made this preview.

  • hey when you get the d4, you should send me your valueless and useless d3 or d3s.

  • I want to see the video compared to the 5d.

  • #Canon

  • nice camera and also nice review!

  • Pro photographers don't shoot concerts!

  • @adiphoto Since when?

  • that ethernet things with remote control is working for years in ALL the canons via USB and in the 1d´s via usb and ethernet.... nikon was a bit late ;)

  • you talk too much...

  • i hope the d3 get really cheap now. one day i will get a flagship :)

  • does a midget live there?? what's with the door on the right????

  • @eatmytool1 haha or he's just a giant.

    (it's for the storage room under the stairs most likely)

  • @eatmytool1 I noticed that door too I thought it was for props.

  • @eatmytool1 i think the chair that the midget is sitting on is covering some stairs behind him. otherwise its the work for a faulty camera.

  • @eatmytool1 It's an optical illusion! :O

  • @eatmytool1 It's just prespective....

  • @eatmytool1 he's on a stage haha! as you can see the desk and stuff behind is low down too, which makes the door normal size.

  • @eatmytool1 Yea, and the D4 gets stuck in the door

  • Just wait a few months before deciding to upgrade, no need to rush out and be the first unless you make a living out of reviewing gear. Come on $4k for a "Pro" well used d3s..not likely.

  • Hi! I'm a vietnamese people & i'm not a photographer_not a pro but when I watch ur videos...you make me really wanna become a pro...though I can't afford for a good camera now & don't know much about photograph but I hope to have one & understand more in future...&& I just wanna say you re amazing...thankyou so much!!!!^^

  • Thanks J, nice job. For those that seem not to understand. Many photographers consider themselves artist. As one of those that do, I know we reach a critical point in our craft where the tools we use limit our creative abilities. That in itself is why artist seek out even the most minute advantage, to enable us to take it to the next level regardless of how minute the next level is. An inch can be a mile ! Thanks J I too am looking at the D4 to add to my kit as well.

  • WOW!!!!!!

  • I'll buy your camera D3s

    If its ok tell me this is my e-mail

    abduljsk@aramco.com

  • Orgasmic. Must save up!

  • make me smile, thanks

  • What an idiot

  • I don't want 1080 timelapse. Full frame photos are better so you can pan and scan.

  • Setting don't matter shit about filmmaking. Idiot.

  • @acekingie Of course they matter. Why wouldn't they?

  • @Verdoux007 Because it's an artform. Not just a technical exercise.

  • @acekingie You can't evolve as an artist if you don't also learn the technical stuff. Only lazy no talented artist use the "technical side doesn't matter" excuse.

  • @Verdoux007 STFU

  • @Verdoux007 Apparently you can. Look at Polin for instance. Ow wait, you are talking about "talented" artists. Hehe, I read "bullshit" artist.

  • This guy loved the sound of his own voice.

  • @raredreamfootage what about the 1D X?

  • 30 people is Canonians.

  • @hutdockz I am a "Canonian" but Nikon are better than Canon

  • Decouple the "AF-on" and the "shutter" buttons with the A5 activation setting and you will never need a AF-C and AF-S switch. SO AF / M focusing switch is enough! 

  • Just sold my NEX-FS100, the world of DSLR's are getting more interesting. I knew Nikon would be the first since the 5D to offer a formidable video solution. They simply don't have the same politics as Canon (i.e. XF Camcorder vs EOS). Way to go Nikon, love the 3 mode crop feature, it's like having 3 lenses in one!!! Very handy. Wish they added a 1.3x crop too. Can't wait to see Canon's response... 5D Mark III?

  • The ethernet capabilities will get SO much use in the olympics, methinks, since they can setup thirty cameras that all snap at the same time, imagine awesome goal images, 360° !! Just imagine all the things they can do with that.
