Picture quality and autofocus performance will, perhaps more than any other camera traits, determine whether the Nikon D4 is a hit with still photographers. But, these aren't the only indicators that matter, particularly in a camera that introduces built-in wired networking to Nikon's digital SLR lineup for the first time, as well as an all-new memory card format. We have a rundown of the real-world speeds you can expect from the XQD slot and Ethernet port of Nikon's soon-to-be-released flagship camera, with data for CompactFlash and USB 2.0 as well.

"It’s here, officially. Which I’m sure is bringing a smile to the face of many just as wide as Little Joe Lastie’s here in this picture. Shot in Preservation Hall, with the Nikon D4, 24-70mm lens, ISO 200, and several speed lights. We’ve been involved with the prep for this camera for several months, and been shooting with it for the last few weeks. And, man are we happy to be able to finally talk about it."

"We've been using Nikon's D4 full frame professional DSLR continuously since a factory-fresh production version arrived in our office last week. Barnaby Britton, who previously shot professionally with a D3S, explains what it's like to use, and includes real world samples and videos. What's improved over the D3S, what has Nikon got right and has it got anything wrong? Click through to find out."

Recently I was lucky enough to have a Nikon D4 (pre production model) for 24 hours. My original plan was to shoot a short feature with it and by doing so check its strength and weaknesses, but the short notice left me no choice but run a very simple test (one that might not satisfy all…)

"Our overview of the Nikon D4, looking at the changes, improvements and additional features of the camera. We've had a chance to handle the Nikon D4 and discuss its features with some of Nikon USA's product experts. From this, we've prepared an overview that looks at the camera, what it offers and what its new capabilities might mean for existing D3 and D3S owners."
