SINGAPORE — Nikon’s flagship DSLR, the Nikon D4S, went on sale yesterday (March 11) at the price of S$8,799 (body only) at authorised Nikon dealers.

The D4S is touted to have advances over its predecessor, such as the new EXPEED 4 image-processing engine which processes images faster, and a new Nikon FX-format COMS image sensor, allows the D4S to shoot at the equivalent of ISO 409,600.

The autofocus system has also been improved, thanks to the Advanced Multi-CAM 3500FX autofocus sensor module. A Group-area AF mode also allows better autofocusing when you’re shooting in continuous focus.

For those who shoot movies, the D4S can also shoot in full HD (1920x1080) at 60 fps.

At the Nikon D4S launch event last month held at the Kartright Speedway in Jurong, the Nikon D4S proved extremely capable in keeping fast-moving go karts in focus even as they sped down the track with the camera attempting to track their movements. While the go karts did not quite hit F1 speeds, it was good to see that the autofocus responded well and quickly even when the carts were coming towards the camera. I could also keep tracking the go-karts for a long time: The buffer on the D4S seemed to go on forever.

We’ll be getting the Nikon D4S for a full review soon, but right now, it appears that the D4S has just enough to tempt those looking for an upgrade.

The Nikon D4S is available now at S$8,799 at authorised Nikon dealers.
