The editors didn't like
Shares many features with previous model including same 16.2 megapixels of resolution
But has $500 higher starting price
Extreme ISO 409600 has limited applications
Still uses unpopular XQD format for second card slot
Not all buttons easy to find
ISO not as easy to change on the fly
Live View monitor has lots of glare when in sunlight
Expensive. 16-megapixel resolution may not be enough for all shooters. Time lapse limited to 8 hours. GPS and Wi-Fi modules are pricey add-ons. Lacks built-in flash
Abstract: The Nikon D4s is simply a mid-model refresh of the of 2012. The D4S is a minor update, as Nikon has been doing since at least the 1980s when the N8008 became the N8008s. The D4S is even less significant than other S models b...
11fps shooting with AF, Fast AF, Massive ISO range
Big and heavy, No WiFi or GPS builtin, AF points clustered in centre
Our tests reveal that the D4S builds on the successes of the D4 with an improved AF system, better detail reproduction at higher sensitivity values and extended low-light capability. While it can be used for just about every genre of photography, it is u...
This camera is stunningly good, and arguably the most advanced DSLR ever built. If you could go back in time to show photographic pioneers like Eastman and Daguerre just how far we've come, you'd have to take a D4S with you. Incredible low light performan...

Almost indefatigable battery life, autofocus improvements for outstanding performance, great image quality, well designed
Big, heavy, expensive, still no USB 3 out, minor update over earlier D4, Canon 1D X has faster burst rate
The Nikon D4S is an evolutionary rather than revolutionary continuation of the earlier D4 model. But that's not to take anything away from it: as full-frame professional cameras go this is as good as they come. Faster burst shooting, a bump in batt...
In terms of handling, little has changed since the original Nikon D4, though the few refinements to the D4Ss AF and shooting rate are enough to make a difference. The autofocus system on the newer camera is one of the best I have ever tested.Where the D3...
New Expeed 4 image processor, Maximum ISO 409,600 (extended), Extremely capable AF with 3D tracking, 11fps shooting, Great low-light performance
Very heavy, Could be criticised for lacking innovation, Very expensive
Nikon D4S: Image Quality Those using the D4S will invariably be news and sports journalists for whom it is imperative to capture images that are in exact focus for newspaper and online use. They won't need to be printed to a huge size, so the 16.2-million...
11fps shooting with AF, Fast AF, Massive ISO range
Big and heavy, No Wi, Fi or GPS built, in, AF points clustered in centre
Our tests reveal that the D4S builds on the successes of the D4 with an improved AF system, better detail reproduction at higher sensitivity values and extended low-light capability. While it can be used for just about every genre of photography, it is u...
When a company takes an existing model name and simply adds a letter—as Nikon has done in the past with cameras like the D1, D2, D3, D40, and D300—it's best to not expect drastic changes. As we've seen in our review of the D4S, that wisdom is once again p...
Outstanding image quality, Shooting ability is unmatched, Great all-round performance
That annoying dial lock, Video recording time is limited, The price
VERDICT Open Gallery The D4s is the ideal camera for professional-grade photography. Its predecessor was already one of the world's best cameras for action and sports photography, and the D4s somehow manages to be even better. In fact, it blows a...
