Railfan Technology > Nikon D4s, iso animal

Native iso is 25,600 and can be pushed to iso 409,000. I guess it is certified for taking photos inside a bears butt at night in a tunnel. At over $6400 it is a limited interest camera for sure.

This will be a great railfan camera since all trains run at night now. You can maximize your railfan travels now that you do not have to take a break for sleep. Be trackside 24 hrs per day camera in hand.

No, I don't plan on ordering one in.

More detailed information. Better movies, 3000 images per battery charge.

The feature I like is the ability to shoot 200 frames at 11 frames per second before the buffer fills up. Then TO members who shoot too many photos of the same train and post them all can really drive me crazy.

:) Too true!

Remember the days of pushing K64 as the light waned and only clicking 2 frames because well film was expensive sending the film out and anxiously awaiting the results and then waiting a month only to figure out the roll had a light leak?

Yeah, I much prefer the current state of affairs.

I have been using my CANON 5D mark III for more then two years and find its native ISO 100-25600 works just fine.

You gotta wonder why the ISO range only goes HIGHER but not lower.

I'd love to ditch my neutral density filters and be able to shoot
at ISO 25, 10 or even 6. Would come in quite handy for pans, and
long duration captures such as light streaks, stars and waterfalls.
