It has a selectable 39-point AF system with nine cross-type sensors and seven AF points that work down to f/8 and a burst rate of up to 5.5 fps. Nevertheless, the Df is a hipster’s delight, especially with the AF-S Nikkor 50mm f/1.8G Special Edition lens that recalls the heyday of Nikon film cameras. By comparison, the D4S weighs a hefty 2.6 pounds. My wife Mary did, too, but was put off by the size and weight (1.56 pounds). Nikon calls the insanely retro Df ($2,746) an “enthusiast’s” camera and I like its love-me-or-get-out-of-here design. You can shoot at 1080 30p or a cinematic 24p, as well as other frame rates and resolutions.
The D4S can capture 1920x1080 video at variable frame rates. It has dual card slots, one CompactFlash and one XQD, for fast transfer times. These settings are labeled differently to indicate (they) are for emergency purposes and clearly identify where noise and color distortion will affect picture quality.” The D4S has a 51-point autofocus system with continuous capture up to 11 fps (frames per second) with autofocus and autoexposure. A Nikon engineer told me, “…expanded settings are just that, expanded beyond the range that is considered optimal or acceptable by our camera designers and engineers. Nikon’s D4S ($5,996) has a 16.2-megapixel FX (23.9x36mm) sensor working with an EXPEED 4 processing engine to produce an ISO range from 100 to 25,600, expandable from 50 ISO (Lo-1) to 409,600 ISO (Hi-4). And don’t even get me started on the half-frame (18x24mm) Olympus Pen F shot by W. Yet early Nikon, Minolta, and other Japanese rangefinder cameras adopted 24x32mm before switching to 24x36mm. In 1913, Oskar Barnack designed the first 35mm Leica and used 35mm motion picture film, settling on that format with a 3:2 aspect ratio. If you’re a pro and use something different than what follows let me know via the contact page on Full-Frame SLRsįor many, a professional-level SLR should be able to capture high-quality images with its 24x36mm imaging chip. What happens when a pro makes a great photograph using a Rebel T5? The designation seems arbitrary, so I’ll be equally arbitrary.
Is it based on what a camera costs? Or how many megapixels it captures? An 18.1-megapixel EOS-1D X costs $5,299, while an 18.1-megapixel EOS Rebel T5 kit is $399. Then there’s the whole “pro” thing: Reasons why a camera is considered professional have always been arbitrary.
To me it’s like calling automobiles “horseless carriages” and since I don’t think a Nikon F7 is around the corner, let’s put this abbreviation to bed. Nikon’s F6 ($2,399) was launched in 2004, and although you can still buy one, not many people do. While compiling a list of my favorite professional DSLRs two things came to my mind: At this point in the 21st century, why are they still called DSLRs and not simply SLRs? Canon’s top-of-the-line, film-based EOS-1v was introduced in 2000 and is long gone.
