the bit rate is also much higher if you use an external recorder.

I’m just hoping that I don’t have to wait too long. Already on waiting lists but with this awesomeness I’m starting to worry they’ll be in short supply.

The battery is not the same as the D3s and I’m sure it will eventually have an AC adapter

Yes with these crop modes and the audio options (audio monitoring esp), I think I have to buy one of these. I usually tell everyone to save their money or spend it one 2 cameras instead of buying the flagship (say two D700s, or a few D300s/7000) but with no other video options I”m going to have to bite on this one. Oh how I wish I had a D4 with me right now!

I feel the same way. This video cleared up some questioned I had. The only thing I’m still wondering about is if the new battery is compatible with the old ones and if there is a DC plug for this thing seeing as to how I may want to shoot for longer periods onto an external device.

I was honestly on the fence between this and a Scarlet until watching this video. Very excited to get working with this camera!!

Good job Nikon, took you a while but seems like you got it all together nicely!!!

It seems like they have made up some lost time with the HD video even compared with the not yet released Canon 1DX which doesn’t have a clean feed. However, I am still interested to see how well it performs as a photography tool even compared to the now older D3s and the Canon 5D mark II.

I’m a long time Canon user and I have to say that the D4 excites me much more than the 1Dx does. It seems that they have been listening to the video shooters out there who are often saying they want clean HDMI and audio out for monitoring.

I think if I were looking for a top end DSLR (which I am not), the D4 could be the Nikon to finally make me switch from Canon. I guess we’ll have to see what comes forth from Canon over the next couple of months with the long awaited 5D MKiii and possibly 7D MKii…
