D4s answers a prayer

Anything is possible with this camera. No, this camera will not make you a pro. But it makes professional photography possible. Switching from my old D700 to these D4s was a revelation. It was how I imagine a blind person feeling when they see the world for the first time. In particular, the slow shutter speed, slow processing speed and small buffer left me at a loss. The D4 can fire like a machine gun at 12 frames per second as long as I hold the button down. I filmed the entire humpback whale escape scene! Someone behind me said "whale!" and I turned and fired a volley. And noise. I felt limited by the D700 when I first started photographing birds with the 300mm f/4 lens. I had to shoot fast to freeze the flight and the lens didn't open wide enough to let in the right light. High ISO, right? The resulting noise was unbearable for me even after I fixed it with the Nik plugin. And of course, the noise reduction has removed some details. This is not the case with my D4s. yes it is expensive But how good do you want to be? In any case, this camera will not bother you. Just awesome.
