The sheer joy on your face just makes the video!

I've only just watched the intro, and I've already liked the video. :D

Can you set another button for iso or use easy iso?

So so funny Dom, had me in stitches!

With the sensor resolution be an issue for you? 16 megapixels is a pretty large step back from the D810. If doing property photography where you are using a low ISO, the D810 would at least allow for more detailed images.

The D4 is my camera of choice. I have no problems with it at all. In the field It gives me the performance and flexibility that I couldn't get before. The in built grip and huge battery for 3000+ shots is such a benefit.

Reprogram the Movie record button to change ISO function. Get a small XQD card (16GB) for JPG backup only (only in case of failure or the SD card).

Button configuration has been similar since nikon d1 on pro bodies so you could transition with ease

Nikon D700 & D4 both great cameras!

Wow the D4 is only 3K Aus in the UK ? Brand new its still 6K in Australia. Typical !!!!!

it's designed like you said to do 20 minutes of video then time to cool. but it it's good to do short movies anyway. ps did you sort your eBay problem.

I just ordered one.and I got the 20 mm lense also

Dom, Given that digital photography is now available to anyone with a mobile phone or pocket camera, are you still able to make a living from photography ? If so, how do you do it (if this is not too personal a question) ? Many thanks freedriv082000

Pretty big to fit on most big camera multis, looks a lot bigger than the GH4

I still prefer my D4 to my D750 and my D800, hands down, period. I only use the higher MP cameras when printing large 20x30 or (A1) or larger. Just for fun, carefully shoot some jpeg images at ISO 50 (or even ISO 100) and run them through your favorite software... Great value in 2018-19... treat yourself...

Wait a minute! WTF You had problems with the d810. What kind of problems?

I still think you could get Photoshop and Lightroom for the cost of 2 of those coffees per month at Photogerge or other places that offer the 20% discount and continue two get updates. It should be a no-brainer

So entertaining! There it not a lower numbers of shutter actuations now :)

Hello Dom, Wanted to ask, having the D700, D300 and Fuji X-T1 I'm still quite interested in trying the Fuji S5Pro. You have owned all of these, I think. Do you thing the S5Pro still has some advantage in image rendition? Will the photos really look even better-more natural-than the D700? And compared to other bodies? Do you think the "low" resolution could be an issue? Thanks in advance! Love your city, I have got family in Edinburgh! Christoph

+Dombowerphoto Thanks Dom, and what do you think about the depth rendering of the camera? Is is more "film-like, three-dimensional" then the cameras we both own and love? (D700 and D300). Thanks again! Best wishes. Christoph

assign the record button to ISO via the control customization

Not really clear why you need a lowlight speed king. Still interesting

I think when you hit the buffer that was the photography equivalent of your 'vinegar strokes'

Lol , hey Dom. I live in NYC and there is a hospital called Bellevue here and you might want to visit it. You're crazy 👊🏾👍🏾🍻😺

Bought one with the same shutter count the other day for £1125. A little tip, don't go to WEX, MPB and any similar places. They are still charging between £1500 - £2300 for these.

What lens are you using to film this, that camera up front left at the start looks hellishly distorted? PS you make me laugh, keep the videos coming.

I STILL regret getting rid of my D700.

The ISO, WB, QUAL are down there so a PRO can adjust there setting without taking there eye of the camera

Did you buy a S5 Pro again? :) What are your thoughts about it after all these years?

This pro body is aimed at photojournalists and sports photographers hence the fps. Using the image quality button as an example here; you say why would anyone need this, you will only be shooting raw.. Well some photojournalists assignments require photos to be transferred to the press almost instantly which means they need to be shooting in jpeg and at a lower resolution for fast transfer speed. This also makes features like the white balance button necessary. Don't write something off before looking at who the camera is actually made/intended for.

Strong shutter? Try D3

Got a D3 & a D700..they can't do as many shots in a burst...

Hard to find a D4 or D4s for less than 5K in Australia. Cats trying to sell their D4's for up to 6K so they dont spend so much on the D5.

What about glass? Didn't you sell most of your lenses? It's more about the glass than the camera body. Nice camera though.

Quick access to settings is the reason Nikon beats Canon. At fashion shows I see only Canon shooters fumbling with menu settings. They lose shots because they are never ready.

Why oh why sell the D810. I would have thought it was better suited to your line of work.

I've still got my D4.. need to sell it.. where'd you sell yours @dom? mine has 76k clicks on it.. it's great.. but.. very niche these days. Certainly crap for your usage of a camera and low DR isn't as good as d800/d810

£2,500 for a D4! Stop buying gear on eBay. Try a website I found called WEX Photographic. Their used department is enormous and I find to be cheaper than ebay with 14 day no quibble returns and a 12 month warranty. Their customer service is excellent and tgey have free next day shipping on orders over £100. I bought a D700 from them for £410 with 26,000 shots on it and currently they are selling D4's with under 100,000 shots for less than 2k. They also except PayPal and do part ex. What are you thinking of to replace the D4 then?

Hmmmmm definitely not impressed. If this was your choice, and bearing in mind you are a Scotsman with an eye to a bargain, I would have gone for a brand new D4s at £3300 current internet prices. However, no way would I have swapped a good D810, a 35MP professional jobbing camera that will take most assignments in its stride with minimal bloat for the mess that is the Nikon 20Mp flagship model; gawd even my D7100 has 24MP, its hardly better than my phone. Even the olympus OM-D can manage 40MP. Yes the buttons are dreadful, Nikon couldnt design a well thought out camera if their lives depended on it, but that is true of all their models. Nikon seems suddenly barely capable of making a professional camera. You pick up a professional camera and it feels luxury in the hand with everything that is needed within finger reach with nothing else on the body at all. Compare with Leica SL, easily outperforms the D5 in everything that matters, is class leading in focus and video and only has 5 buttons and you set those to what you want them to be; its designed for professionals and is professional quality. Hasselblad and PhaseOne are also professional quality. Even Fuji is nudging into the professional market. Nikon has become prosumer really. The D810 is the best camera they make and when that is withdrawn I doubt they will have a truly professional model in their range. Think again love and stick with the D810, unless you want to start a new career as a sports protog the D4 is a joke for a real estate guy ;-)

Shouldn't you take your pills before you make video's? Like your video's anyway, but i'm exausted after watching.

too much camera for you bro.

I'm confused, are you mostly an interior real estate photographer? Surely the D810 would be vastly better for this type of work. It's a lovely camera for sure the D4 but 16MP super fast shutter and low light capability would be less than ideal for your type of shooting. If you are shooting weddings and sports events then it does make sense.
