One of the things I’ve been really impressed with on the D4 is the improved focusing. And so I paid a visit to The Chilterns to photograph the Red Kites that dominate the skies there, and put the new camera to the test. The results, simply put, were nothing short of phenomenal. Having spent a [...]
There’s no denying that Nikon moving away from two compact flash slots on the D4 has been met with some criticism.
