Testing out the D4 with the updated firmware - unbelievable! It focuses in the dark - I am not kidding sitting in my living room with just the light from the tv i can lock focus on anything in the room even a vase in a corner where it's very dark.Live view is even better(hard to believe it can be) I will set my tripod up sometime this week and take some of these "in the dark shots @ iso 102,000
