    Very informative.

  2. RON says:

    SWEET CAMERA !

  3. Tony Silva says:

    don’t give a crap about the D4…

  4. Theo says:

    WOW! Love to have one.

  5. Karmawy says:

    Thanks very usefull

  6. Anm8ed says:

    That is a nice camera. Not much into Video, but I must admit it’s pretty awesome. But i think it will be more of a dream camera then something i ever own.

  7. Jessica says:

    Thanks!

  8. Eduardo Fernandez says:

    wow!!! what a great camera.

    • Jeon says:

      I’m a 60D owner and see this as similiar but newer, and i’ve alrdaey been able to play with the 60D for 4 months so i don’t regret it as The Else above. I’d love to try this camera as the 7000D is really cool. If someone lent me a 5100 i’d shoot both all over the place but doubt there would be too much difference.That said my brother is looking for a new camera and i’d really reccomend this to him it looks terrific.Well done Nikon! With all the troubles in Japan we wish you the best nationally and with this camera.Stuart

  9. Virgilio Rodriguez Jr says:

    I want one so bad now.

  10. Nice! Thank you and Nikon NPS for keeping us informed.

  11. Dave Walters says:

    RC, Scott would never make you wash dishes. Go a head and give one away.

  12. Andy says:

    Great information.

  13. Daryl says:

    Great Job Rc . Thanks

  14. Rodney Jones says:

    Love your show, watch it every week

  15. Robert Norris says:

    Very nice camera R.C. – distract them and they might forget to take one home with them. See ya next week.

  16. Nice camera. Anything planned for the Canon 1DX? :-)

    A technical question. What’s the difference between “Native ISO” and this “Low” or “High” ISO??

    Eeee! A D4 Give Away would be awesome!!!! :-)

  17. Harry says:

    Good information but as a serious amateur (with no desire to go pro) this camera is too expensive for me to even consider. I like all the features but certainly won’t need them.

  18. Rich Stopa says:

    Great show mine is on order cant wait till it arives

  19. Thomas Osako says:

    Great show!

  20. John says:

    Nice camera, love the progress, can’t wait to see what we will have in 5 years.

  21. Sebastian says:

    Great info! Do you think you will do the same kind of show with the new D800 ? Would be awesome!

  22. Jack says:

    Fabulous camera and great info by the Nikon NPS crew. Agree with Sebastian that a similar show on the D800 would be of value to many of us.
    I am curious as to the implications on our computer systems as the cameras move into higher and higher resolution processing and Mega pixel numbers.

  23. Gene says:

    Must stop drooling!

  24. Charlie Young says:

    Thanks for the in-depth show and tell on the new D4.

  25. peter1 says:

    nikon njkon nikon… well yeah not sponsored by nikon.. i believe that.. of course.

  26. Mark Harper says:

    Sweet camera. You guys rock.

  27. Francis says:

    Awesome

  28. Andy says:

    Now you will have to get the Nikon guys back on to talk about the D800.

  29. Hubert says:

    Wish you were giving one away. Probably the only way I will get close to one.

  30. Tim Martin says:

    wow, my wife is going to kill me!

  31. Darrel says:

    Nice camera!

  32. John Content says:

    Wow, I’ve been waiting for this show… good info.
    How about the D800 now?

  33. Mark Vandenwauver says:

    While I love Nikon and I couldn’t do without their stuff, why giving Nikon so much free publicity? I had expected at least a few critical questions. It seems that most pros in the NIkon world for instance don’t like the different card and the fact that CF had reached it max write speed has now been proven wrong by Lexar latest 1000x.

  34. Will Howard says:

    I’m a Canon shooter…and I WANT a D4!!! Nice!

    Just read the news about D800…wonder if the MP is overkill. Lots of hype, but very little new features other than megapixels.

  35. W Patrick Clements says:

    rc i will give my 30d away for a D4 (ha ha ha)

  36. alf says:

    Very nice! Thanks guys!

    Not a pro photographer; yet, I really appreciate what the D4 offers.

  37. Birju Ravaliya says:

    That was kinda cool. I know you all shoot Nikon, but are you able to provide a similar level of information on the canon side of things? Feel like Nikon own a bit of D-Town at the moment.

  38. Gregg says:

    Great episode. I can’t wait till mine arrives.

  39. PEACE GADDIS says:

    wow great show great camera
    i hope you are giving away a d4
    give me one

  40. Bruce Press says:

    Just brilliant photog-oriented changes and great tech.

  41. Erin says:

    Can you go over monitor calibration – which is best how it works, etc? My prints are always completely different than what’s on my screen and i don’t know where to start to fix this. Thanks!!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE the show!

  42. Lori Barrett says:

    You guys are fantastic!

  43. chris says:

    Cool, Christmas is coming….

  44. Malcolm says:

    Great intro to the D4, hope you do something similar with the D800

  45. Christopher Mainprize says:

    Good to get the details from the horses mouth as it were.

    Are you going to do the same thing for the D800?

  46. Terrel says:

    I like the new features. But come on, if I wanted a camcorder I would buy one. Wish they would make one without video.
    Good jod on the show

  47. Max Faulkner says:

    Thanks for everything you do NPS!

  48. Jürgen says:

    cool stuff

  49. Alan Storey says:

    Great show and a great camera!

  50. Yoshinori Miyazaki says:

    D4 rocks!

  51. Steve Thompson says:

    Great format. Like to see similar show for D800 & D800E.

  52. Marcel says:

    Hey guys, great show as always! Would love to have a show like this one on the new D800!

  53. Henry Dinardo says:

    Why was the video shot at 2.8 with limited depth of field. Compared to other Kelby videos it was good but not as good. Great camera and mine is on order. Now lets hope that its not delayed for long.

  54. erica says:

    Canon user but great, informative show about where things are headed.

  55. jeff B says:

    Very interesting show. Thanks

  56. Carl Aylman says:

    I can dream about this camera, but unfortunately, unless I win a lottery, I will never own one. Very interesting show.

  57. Terry says:

    Wow, I want the D4, but I will have to stay with my D200 which I love by the way.

  58. emilio b says:

    dreaming is cheap; 8 minutes of dreaming was good enough – thx

  59. Greg Snider says:

    Great idea doing the D4 show. Would the next one be the D800?
    Love to see shows like this on other gear such as the D7000.

  60. Jeff Falk says:

    Stopped watching 15 seconds in. NOT interested at all in an ALL NIkon show.

    See u later

  61. Herb Rose says:

    Have you ever explained “Active D-Lighting”?

  62. Bjarne says:

    RC, this was great can you now do one for the Nikon 800?

  63. Patrick S Faherty says:

    First I’ve heard about the new card format.

  64. I really enjoyed the show. It’s nice to see how the other half lives sometimes.

  65. Get segment on painting with light. Also RC showed a get example of mixing light temps. Keep up the good work!

  66. Dewayman says:

    Another great show, but I missed my cheap trick segment ..:)

  67. I enjoyed this episode on the Nikon D4 and especially the final feature, demonstrating the networking capability and controls for use with iPads and other mobile devices. Now if I could just afford to buy one!

  68. Chris says:

    I watched #105 on U-tube last night but still isn’t up here to comment on….

  69. I would love to try out that camera! Very informative episode guys.

  70. Tom says:

    Looks like a great camera. Nikon has done a great job. As a canon shooter: Can Canon have equal time with their new camera?

  71. Christian Hense says:

    Great show!

  72. Wilfredo Gonzalez says:

    Great show this week. It would be nice to see this level of detail for other products.

  73. ORLOFF SIMS says:

    it just goes to show why nikon is the best in photography .Great show the camera is more then I would need but i do love it. thanks for showing it to us and for kelbytraining venue to bring it too us….

  74. Terry Mehl says:

    think you should give one away to a lucky photographer like me!

  75. Suzanne Offner says:

    The D4 looks incredible, but I think the D800 is the one for me. I just need to win one somewhere.

  76. Sue Liberto says:

    TEmpting but IM a Canon gal

  77. Wallace L. Ottersbach says:

    Thanks.

  78. nikon should give the prize of the D$ to RC. HE WORK HARD.Thanks

  79. DaniLew says:

    Holy cow! I usually don’t even look at cameras that I can’t afford but what a great machine! I’m going to nikonusa.com just to get more information now so that in about 6-7 years I can buy it. ;~P

  80. Doug Sanderson says:

    Beautiful camera. great show

  81. Don Evan says:

    Wow! I am a Nikon DSLR shooter. Seeing the D4 makes me wish I had saved my money when I was young.

  82. Doug says:

    Thanks for the copyright link! Great show.

  83. Butch says:

    Thanks for the info on the D4. I am excited to get one.

  84. Dan says:

    Most of the vid looks out of focus and has lots of issues with moire. If I were part of Nikon marketing I would not want it advertised that this video was shot with the D4.

  85. Michael from Montreal says:

    Loved the show. You guys rock.

  86. Sue Liberto says:

    Great info on the copywrite and light painting!

  87. Donald says:

    Win a D4 really? Thanks!

  88. John A. Fugel says:

    Awesome camera. I can get a pro-quality video camera for about the same price, however.

    I’m looking forward to the trickle down of some of these features on the lower-end (affordable) cameras.

    John

  89. Ben says:

    Does it have 1080p? It’s about time! Those Canon guys have been giving me a hard time for about 4 years now, lol.

    Props for the uncompressed HDMI out though!

  90. Fabian says:

    Question, im trying out lightroom beta, and when i do my adjustments in lr beta and than do my edit in cs5 it dont carry over the edit i did in lr beta. lightroom 3 works just fine. any ideas on what that could be?

  91. deborah levy says:

    Like the demo on the D4 by Nikon people.
    Wasn’t sure I wanted to purchase the camera however with their input will purchase the D4

  92. Thanks for the insiders look at the D4 — Wow!

  93. Pat says:

    Amazing looking camera and liked the idea of a run thought the kit, but wow the Nikon guys were such fun. Not a smile cracked by one of them all show!!!
