Nikon D4

January 06, 2012

Looks like Nikon is starting to take video seriously with their new D4 flagship DSLR, announced yesterday.

I watched this very nice sample film by Corey Rich at 1080p and it looks great to my eye—no aliasing, no rolling shutter issues, plenty of detail, luscious “Top Gear” grading.

  • 1080p 24, 25, 30
  • 720p 60 (and presumably 50)
  • 30 minutes record time
  • H.264 B-frame, 24Mbps
  • Two different movie crop modes, DX and 1:1 (2.7x)
  • Smooth exposure adjustment while recording
  • Tracking autofocus while recording
  • External mic input with manual levels
  • Headphone jack for audio monitoring
  • Clean HDMI out (it seems)
  • Remote control via iPad/iPhone
  • MSRP $6,000, available in February

Great to have you back at the table after starting the party with the D90 Nikon.

UPDATE: The Nikon D4 is now avaiable for pre-order at B&H.
