Product Info

Pushing the limits of what professional DSLRs can do, the Nikon D4s is a true workhorse. Built like a tank, it shoots and shoots, capturing 16.2MP images at up to 11fps, with an ISO ceiling of 409,600 and improved autofocus performance across the board. Nikon’s RAW Size S file format allows for faster image transfer across the Gigabit 1000T Ethernet port, and there’s also Full HD 60p video that can be recorded in-camera and to an external recorder simultaneously.

The durably built Nikon D4s will stand up to most demanding of professional jobs, and deliver the images you need to get, every time. It’s made to the standards demanded by imaging professionals, and you can rely on it to get the job done.
