With a zoom lens the position of the 'nodal point' (entrance pupil) shifts as the focal length varies.
Excellent tutorial! Stay blessed! Following your channel and Instagram also!
Thank you, sir, for this very good review and tutorial to clearly understand what we need to achieve the best panorama photographing result! Please stay blessed! Best regards from Sweden!
“S” varieties! I always go for the S as it’s often the internally refined specs u lay not see but appreciate way later. Especially w/ iPhone. It was more a mix of physical refinement to hardware as well to stair step into the next gen. I did that since 3s to XS. I learned after the D4S, the D5 didnt make that many leaps and the D6 today barely feels like a 5S if that. And this may be our last single digit D pro sports journalist body
I’m discovering the same of my old pair D3S, D300S & wanting a D810 but then D850 came out. I went for it instead & held off on D500 now. But I’m loving the D4S even compared to D850 in those low light clarity u spoke of. So amazing still & even if u want the soft texture of film it’s beautiful at 12,800 easy indoor w/ gently fill flash
In this video you said that the 50mm doesn’t focus really good in low light with de Nikon d810 can you tell which lens the 50mm 1.8g or the 1.4g ?? The d810 will work with the 50mm 1.8D thanks for your help.
I have a canon EOS R8 how do you get the camera to take so much Burst pictures like that @8:45
I agree with all your conclusions. I own two D4 bodies. I have made 24" x 36" poster sized prints with this. The prints have zero pixels visible. Its great! I don't know what size of print you need to force the limitations of the sensor to become visible but those were the biggest prints I ever had made and that's as big as I would ever need. In my opinion, if a photographer needs to crop so much out of an image that pixels become evident, I may suggest getting closer to the subject or investing in come more powerful telephoto glass! Otherwise those 16MP are just fine for most applications!
You might consider the 810 for the smaller image size 😎
Finally someone who talks about the picture and colors.. that's the way you should look at a picture... I own the d700 has little shutter lag and also like the colors it gives me ...love it
I’ve used the RRS BH55 for years and believed it set the standard in its class. I saw the BH-1 and it looked quirky but interesting. I have large hands so I was quickly drawn to how smooth it was to tighten and loosen it to get everything lined up as I wanted. It was so easy and fast and you could tighten it with such ease. I let my RRS BH-55 sit in the closet for about a year and sold it. It’s the best tripod ball head I’ve ever used. It’s also very rugged and built to exacting standards. You can’t go wrong.
Muy bien video, bien explicado , esta función está escondida y lo explicas claro. Muchas gracias ❤
Fuji realm... that's why I still keep my X-PRO1 and X-T10 in nowadays 😜 having a lot of fun with awesome results (pleasure and/or professional occasions) !!! See ya, blue skies 🤙🏻🍀📸
Good morning. I really liked your video, informing you about the user experience of the Nikon d4s camera. Please allow me to ask you a question: Can the Nikon D4s use a CF Express Type B card, instead of an XQD card? Is there an updated firmware that allows the use of the CF Express Type B card on the Nikon D4s? Thanks.
no. Nikon have not issued a firmware update to the D4s (or the D4) to support CFexpress cards.
Thanks a lot. I was thinking about getting a Nikon D5. However, in many videos on the Internet saying that the D5 is not much better than the D4. Once again thanks for your honest and unbiased OPINION 😂😂😂😂. Folks now days are a hand full just keep putting awesome content like you always have
If it's not Tetley's with milk and sugar it's not real tea 😂
There is a lot I like about the BH-01, but I wish it had azimuth markings to facilitate panos better.
Great bag, i bought the Flipside Trek 450 AW a couple of days ago. The only thing i envy with the Whistler is that the entire surface at the backside is being used for storage. Wished that was the same with the Trek 450 AW.
I just bought a D4 days ago with only 9000 actions! 2 bateries, charger, manuals etc all in it's original box. I also have a D810. The thing is i'm really happy because just like you said, it gives an awesome file. I paid only a $1000, i mean this is a new camera from 2012 in 2023 but still kicking asses!
maan, life savior.. the groups changing with button push... L O V E
I like doing portraits of people in doors and like to use an on camera flash, which I bounce off the ceiling, so I don't get red eye. Will the Nikon SB-910 work on the Nikon D810? Do I need to change any settings on the D810 to use it?
What do you think of the NIKON D6..???
Good video. Yes, sometimes the newer models are cheaped out to maximize profit and keep a certain price point. Thanks for sharing. Kind regards from a Canon shooter ;) Same stuff, same ideology as you've pointed out, really. I do the same as you camera wise.
Good video, i have that same coffee cup and my wife has the mrs one
i have the xpro 1, the canon 5d classic and just bought the xt1. I could buy another xpro1 if i had the money. Absolutely magical just like the 5d classic..
Nice review. I've recently bought one of the offset L brackets PMG make and aside from being a well thought out and well designed product it feels over-engineered in a good way which is never a bad thing in my books.
i started a year ago on a Nikon D3200 and still shoot with it. Photos and Video. Ive printed 20x30 print and it came out very nice and clear!
What color is your hat? Looks great
Permanently stiff lmao
I don't know how you measure AF speed.. I have a D700 and a X-T2 with battery grip (boost) and the X-T2 is NO where close to the D700 when it comes to focusing in low light. Now i LOVE the X-T2 for it's wonderful JPGs and for manual focus fotography but when it comes to Autofocus i go for my D700 every single time. I used them both in low light taking pictures of my kids while they where playing and running back and forth and the D700 with Continous autofocus and CH mode i got about 70-80% keepers. With the X-T2 in boost mode (with grip) on continous autofocus and CH (or CL) mode i hardly got 10-20% keepers.. The X-T2 was horrible for continous autofocus in low light. I love the camera and i use it all the time but if i want to take pictures of high speed action in any light situation the D700 is waaaayyyy better. I don't own a D4 but i can't imagine it being any worse than the D700.
Hi Eric. This is a very useful video for those looking at buying older Nikon flagship cameras like the D4, D4s, etc. I have a Nikon D810 and very pleased with its overall performance and IQ. I am wondering what would be your views when comparing the D810 with D4s/D4 purely on the basis of IQ?
Thanks a lot. Still today good information for me!
Great video and very informative.
except Canon 1Dx is better , try pressing shutter on that , and more pixels . Somewhat lower DR , but only if you dont know what you are doing will it be a problem .
What a wonderful earthy and vibrant review. RESPECT MAN
The D750 had been good to me over the 7 years that I owned it...that is to say until I dropped it three weeks ago. It's a bit fragile. I replaced it with a d700, and man, is it a monster. Doesn't feel as well in the hands as the D750, IMO.
i have an xt 2 but struggling to get the grip to work
What camera are you using now in 2023??
A small Fujifilm XT3 kit. It’s beautiful and all I need
For Sony fans : Fuji 18-55mm > Sony, 24-70mm (i and ii)
Nice review, but the coupon code doesn't work.
20.9 MP on a crop sensor is equal to a 47MP on a full frame sensor - think of it as if you had a 47MP sensor cut into a cropped sensor. This is why the 16MP of you D4 are more 'spread out' on your sensor and as a result of it the sensor is 'less pixels populated' therefore it has a better capability of gathering light than it would on a 47 MP full frame sensor (or 20.9 MP on the crop sensor mounted on the D500). Re ISO and clean images, if you have nearly 3 times the pixel population on the sensor you need to multiply your noise times 3 when you look at your D500 files - hence the noise. The noise 'per se' is almost identical, but having 1/3 of the pixels you have 1/3 of the visible noise that you'd see on the D500 - if that makes sense. You're absolutely right about the D810 - it's an amazing camera even today! The IQ is stunning and these 36MP the 'sweet spot' in my opinion. So you would also recommend the D4s quality-wise if the D4 weren't to be available?
I have two D3 in like newconcition and a D700 same. These stand enlarging better than smaller pixels in a 24 MP camera. I am somewhat disappointed with 40+ cameras.
One the thing I don’t really like is the back button AF-ON button feels mushy ,compared to the D3x and D500 that has a nice tactile click to them .
I synchronise and then the wrong photo comes up
Just got a D4s with 75’000 clics for 650 chf (650 $) the files are great but the raw files need some work especially with the WB (always to warm) I love the ergonomics !
I have a D4 and I live it. I recently sold my D500 primarily because of I felt the D500 was more difficult to maintain steadiness. I don't miss the D500 and the D4 creates better photos.
Huge difference between viewing a print at a proper distance for the size print and up close pixel peeping. I have said this in the past and I firmly believe if a camera was known for great picture quality, it always will. Cameras may advance technically, but the human eye stays the same.
I moved from the D3 to the D4 about five months ago, and with limited time with the D4 I am super satisfied with the move. I didn't do it for the extra Mega Pixels. I made the move to get better ergonomics and low light use. I wanted a DSLR vs a sub par AF on the first gen Z mirrorless bodies. And the S lenses are freaking outrageous right now, so hard pass for Nikon Mirrorless on my budget. D500 Colors go wonky at 6400 ISO and get worst from there up. That to me was a vote for Full Frame since I shoot low light indoor events where color in the picture is a bid deal. If I need a good outdoor large field sports DSLR, the D500 would be first in line over the rest. D4s is still super expensive for the marginal bump in specs. I get it if you shoot sports, you want the best and D4s maybe better AF wise, but for the price to me the D4 was a bargain. D5 I have seen a lot of folks moving to it then moving right on to Mirrorless. I think the D5 improves on the D4/D4s. But sacrifices build quality that Pros demand. So for me in the future I may pass on the D5 after seeing it's the least favorite Pro DSLR in Nikons line up. D6 seems like a great DSLR, but the price for it is still very high. With the Z9 now out for over a year, maybe the price comes down here soon, but I don't see a lot of folks jumping into a D6. Great video, and I second your observations. I plan to keep my D4 till it dies. Just flat out a great camera, makes you want to just hold it and admire the way it fits in your hand. Crazy to think a camera would have such a great feel even at the weight that the D4 is. Still cannot believe I own one finally.
You sir are a diamond. I had this set on my XH-1 and XT-2 and for some reason changed the settings and forgot how to get this back for studio work. Many thanks.
