thank you very much .. I really appreciate

Paola ;)

As we've been saying, a shutter RATING is not a GUARANTEE that it will reach that like. Maybe you'll get a million out of it, maybe it will go at 386K.

 

What we are saying is that you at 97% of the shutter's rated life. I wouldn't take the camera on vacation with me(as my only camera), much less to an event where I was getting paid for the camera's operation.

Got it :)

Thank you

 

If I were buying, I'd sent it off to Nikon immediately for a CLA and shutter replacement. I'd then use it with reasonable confidence, but not without first sending it off for service.

 

You seemed determined to buy the camera, so I doubt what we're saying will ultimately change your mind. Still, I'll leave you with a quote you from the movie Dirty Harry. "You have to ask yourself one thing-'Do I feel lucky today?'"

For weddings? I'm not a pro wedding shooter, but you can get a relatively low-mileage D800 for that kind of money, and I'd prefer the resolution and dynamic range. The D4 is a great low-light, high-speed camera, but it's a big body to be carrying around all day at a wedding. It does hold up remarkably well as light drops off, and does better at low ISO than a D5, but it wouldn't be my first choice for wedding shooting.

 

Do you have an XQD card?

Yes I have 1 32 gb XQD card. I like pro body and weight is no problem for me ;) .. but why thicking time bomb..I mean if nikon d4 is rated/tested for 400k actuation does it mean all other component can reach it quite without a problem ?? isn't it? Of course if it has not handle too bad.

Thanks

Thanks guys for you advice... it's very kind of you ... The owner of D4 just told me that he can drop the price off to 1000 euro so maybe a good deal ?? it has not hard cosmetics and he told me the camera work perfectly ... I have had to use it for wedding (as second shooter) I need a reliable camera and have heard some pro photographer that use a nikon d4 with above 500k actuations for wedding .. please tell me

thanks

Hello everyone,

just wonder if someone could advice me if is it worth to buy a nikon d4 with 385.000 actuations for 1300 euros. it has only small cosmetics and just one part (below) unglued..

Please I really need your advice.

Many thanks in advance.
