Nikon F4S Best Used Camera Deal Around

by Howard_Creech Howard_Creech is a Lead on Epinions in Electronics, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 10, Feb 06 '00
Pros: tough, sturdy, lots of great features
Cons: auto focus is a bit slow
Nikon F4S bodies are starting to show up in camera stores everywhere as photographers trade them in on F5's and F100's. The bodies are usually in excellent condition for a couple of reasons...first the camera was introduced only 12 years ago and had the...

The closest to "perfect" you can expect froma Nikon body

by bogrod , Jun 25 '05
Pros: Too many to list. It's tough to ask for more from a 35mm camera.
Cons: AF is "slow" with non AF-S optics.
Wow - where could I possibly start when doing a review of this camera body? I guess I can only relate my own personal buying decisions with this particular camera. I went from a Nikon FA (which finally gave up the ghost) and I had to make a long and ...

A workhorse.

by Nhat , Dec 26 '00
Pros: Reliability, Traditional control dials, Tank-like construction
Cons: Heavy, slow autofocus
Although discontinued, the Nikon F4s continues to be my main 35mm SLR. It's built like a tank and lives up to Nikon's reputation for reliability.

I bought my F4s used in 1999. I had no reservations about it being 10 year old technology at...

The best camera ever made

by whitesf , May 02 '01
Pros: Indestructible, feature rich, total control.
Cons: Nikon doesn't make it anymore (sniff)
What can I say? This is the best camera ever made. Many will argue that the F5 is a more advanced, better camera, but I disagree. I like the fact that there is no LCD on the top of the camera. All controls are laid out logically, and everything is either...

Takes a lickin' keeps on clickin'

by three60 , Jan 31 '00
Pros: Solid in every way
Cons: Heavy, slow AF
Where to start? I've had this camera for 6 years now and it has served me incredibly well. I bought it 2nd hand and have gone through around 500 rolls with it. I've shot everything from weddings to sports to travel photos with it. It's been dropped,...

Perfect blend of manual and auto

by superevilbrian , Dec 13 '04
Pros: Fast, VERY robust, uncluttered ease of use, very BIG and bright viewfinder
Cons: That annoying flash thing
I bought my first nikon F4s a few years ago and recently bought another one for an obsurdly cheap price from KEH.com. I'll save the specs and technical info - that stuff is on the other 6 reviews and on a zillion Websites. I was never a fan of auto ...

The Indestructable F4s

by palnu , Jan 22 '00
Pros: Durable, Flexible
Cons: Autofocus, Metering
I photograph live show of rock bands. Not for a living, but as a serious hobby. There are a few bands in the Bay Area that have used my live photography on record covers. This means I take photographs in crowded nightclubs with beer flying about, people...

The other Abrams M1 Tank of Nikon's

by photoninja , Apr 23 '04
Pros: Like shooting with a tank, only better...
Cons: Slow Autofocus (but expected)
To put it simply, the F4s along with the F3 are the two cameras I would bring along if I were to go anywhere else in the world if I had to shoot digital. The F4s is just simply a marvelous piece of engineering and gives you piece of mind for the ...

Great camera--lousy service

by philboucher , Feb 22 '02
Pros: durability, diopters, mirror up, durability, all manual overide, durability
Cons: massive weight, slow focus
Now that I've got your attention with the lowest rating let me explain: I just happened to buy the one-in-a-million lemon for $1,900!!!! As soon as I got it, it failed to power up. Returned it and it was "fixed" under warranty. After a couple of years of...

F4

by duc996 , Aug 16 '01
Pros: Built tough, lots of features, professional.
Cons: Bulky and heavy, autofocus and metering.
I bought this F4 before my F5 and after I owned an F3.
I was very impressed with this camera at first.
The build is great, though heavy.
It felt like it could stop a bullet.
Lots of features like the F3 and F5.
I did have some...

A true professional machine.

by saxapeal , Feb 02 '01
Pros: Indestructible, reliable, vast choice of lenses and accessories.
Cons: Heavy, heavy, heavy.
Nikon is considered to be the standard by many, and the F4 is one of the reasons why. Under extreme use conditions, and very heavy volume shooting, when everything else in your bag has folded their tents, the F4 will not miss a beat. It's as reliable as...

A brute!

by aubrey123 , Jan 28 '00
Pros: Excellent Durability
Cons: Heavy
I recently purchased the Nikon F4s used, upgrading from my Nikon 8008S. I have found it to be excellent quality. The camera could come in handy if confronted in a dark ally. It's almost indestructible, and can withstand a drop from 5 feet high - i...
