Nikon D4S review – The competition
At this end of the market, a new camera can often cause a photographer to switch systems, as many Canon photographers did when Nikon launched the D3, and later the D3S. I’m not sure that there is enough about the D4S to warrant a switch from the 18-million-pixel Canon EOS-1D X – most photographers wanting to do so would have with the release of the D4. So the chief competitor to the D4S will be the Nikon D4 itself.
Most retailers have already stopped listing the D4, but if you look around it can still be found for about £600 less than the D4S, and obviously used examples are even cheaper, closer to £1,000 less. Professional photographers who haven’t taken the plunge may just take advantage of the drop in price for a new Nikon D4 while they can.
