Nikon D4 with new video features
Maybe this hasn't been posted here yet so here are some information on it.
I don't think this is a rumor anymore. Real D4 info with pics... [Page 1]: Nikon D3 - D1 / D700 Forum: Digital Photography Review The article on the D4 in a french magazine; http://i.imgur.com/XOOOX.jpg It has, among other things, a headphone jack ;) |

Re: Nikon D4 with new video features
"Uncompressed" output via HDMI !!! - sure like to know the details.
Also control of audio input and monitoring, much reduced rolling shutter, 2.7 crop mode at 1080p, full time AF in all modes, aperture control in 1/8th stop increments... with a 16mp full frame sensor it'll be killer in low light, it's looking good on paper. Let's hope moire/aliasing is minimal. Last edited by Josh Dahlberg; January 6th, 2012 at 01:38 AM. |

Re: Nikon D4 with new video features
Considering it does a debayer in camera, it won't have the characteristics of uncompressed footage.
Although I would be jumping for joy if you could point me to where it states 4:4:4 HDMI out. As long as it has a clean HDMI out, it will be useful in the field and will be utilized by many. |

Re: Nikon D4 with new video features
All HDMI video is uncompressed. Even the 5D2 when it is recording and downscales to 480i is uncompressed. HDMI doesn't apply MPEG-2, h.264, wavelet, M-JPEG or any other compression. Bits is bits.
What we want to know is: 1) Does the video output fill the 1920 x 1080 frame? 2) Is the 1920 x 1080 video clean with no line skipping? 3) Is the output available without overlays? 4) What is the bit depth? 5) What is the color space? Rec 709? x.y.Color? Unfortunately, the word "uncompresssed" tells us nothing. That said, I'm looking forward to learning much more about the camera!

Re: Nikon D4 with new video features
Some details on the HDMI:
"Built-in HDMI lets you view footage on an external monitor or record uncompressed 8-bit 4.2.2 footage directly to an external recording device. " & "When the highest possible image quality is required, you can bypass memory cards and record uncompressed footage directly from the image sensor onto an external recording device."

Re: Nikon D4 with new video features
Nikon was always going to be the dark in this race, because unlike Panasonic, Canon & Sony they have no video division to protect (by crippling features like HDMI, audio levels, audio jacks etc).
About time they got in the game.

Re: Nikon D4 with new video features
I read the following in a tech radar article.
Nikon D4 DSLR announced | News | TechRadar "A new multi-area mode has been introduced, which means that videos can be recorded in both FX and DX based formats, as well as in native full HD (1920 x 1080 crop), meaning that the same lens can be used to capture the same scene with different crop factors." If my calculations are right, this is something 2.7X FF which smaller than micro4/3 but bigger than 2/3inch ENG If true, I find this feature awesome. |
