hi I'm Laurie grin and senior editor for cnet here at CES 2012 with the Nikon d4 just recently announced the Nikon d4 is nikon's new flagship six thousand dollar pro camera and frankly there's just way too much to talk about to make a 90 or 60 second video so I'll just hit the highlights it's big but it actually feels lighter than the d3s which it replaces it's got a sick new 16 megapixel sensor a host of new video capabilities that are designed to compete with the Canon 1dx and redesigned ergonomics that draws some lessons from the d7000 which I feel is one of the best designed DSLRs on the market that includes the way you choose your auto focus points with a button on the side this one for instance has a smooth aperture capability where you basically taught when you're shooting video you toggle through the apertures well that's noisy but stuff we toggle through the apertures by hitting the button and so you don't hear the noise made by a dial to in order to change them and it's just full of subtle improvements like that that make it really interesting it's also the first camera to support XQD and you'll get a little bit better worse performance with it but we're talking about when you get past like 137 frames so unless you really shoot a lot of burst you may not notice that but of course there's capacity in any case I really look forward to testing this it's the Nikon d4 I'm Laurie grinning and we're at CES 2012
