Nikon D4s Announcement, Sorta
I would love to tell you that Nikon announced the Nikon D4s but they didn’t. What they did do is tell you that they are developing a camera to replace the Nikon D4 and that will be the Nikon D4s.
I know you all want to know what the specs are so here is what I know. It will have an updated focus system and have better image quality.
Yup, that’s all we have for now on the Nikon D4s.
Since Nikon has not told us much about this camera I figured I would speculate just a little bit as well as tell you what I would like to see in the camera.
I expect the body to remain exactly the same. All the buttons, switches and rubber pieces probably wont change.
I would not mind better auto focus as I personally had minor issues that were addressed when I sent my body in to be tweaked. In terms of image quality if they can make that better I won’t complain about that.
The number one thing I would love to see this camera not have is an XQD slot. Those cards are overpriced and only supported by Sony and Lexar, Sandisk has no plans on making them. For that reason I want to see the D4s have two CF card slots just like the D3 and D3s.
Other than that bring it on, who wants to buy my D4???
