Which camera for wildlife and sports photography,d800,d3x or the d4?

Hi everybody,
I am new in this forum and would like to get some advices. I have a nikon d7000,and i wish to update it. My interests are wildlife and sports photography.The lenses i have are the 70-200mm 2.8 vr2 and the 200-400mm vr2 .The cameras i am looking at are the d800,the d3x and the d4.I would be glad to have any advice or recommendations on the subject.Thanks!

Welcome

If frames per sec is your goal, the D4 does 10...Would be my choice...

Definitely the D4 would be the way to go. 10 fps is awesome fast!

D4 - no question about it

D800 shines for landscape and portrait work. I have seen a lot of people also use it for wildlife due to its amazing ability to crop.

Unfortunately, D800 and sports just do not mix. The fps is too slow and the memory buffer dies pretty quick. If money is no object then the D4 is a no brainer. Have you considered a d3s?

There are lots of questions you have to ask yourself, and my answer may not be what you want to hear, but you should sit back and think about them before you commit to getting another camera body. The first question you have to ask yourself is how large do you want to print your images? It is kind of silly to sink money into a D800 if 8x10 is as big as you plan to print or you are going to publish most of your images to the web. On the other hand, what kind of sports do you shoot? Do you do it as a hobby or as a professional? Do you really need the 10 fps frame rates offered by the D4? Most importantly, ask yourself does your current camera really meet your needs and you just want to upgrade it? If so, then why go to the expense to update it? You have to ask yourself will upgrading to a newer camera make you a better photographer? That is really the bottom line, isn't it? Be honest with yourself. 95% of the time the answer is really no, it will not. Upgrading a camera just because it has been a few years since you got your last one seems rather wasteful silly to me. But then again I still shoot with over 35+ year old F2's. Your mileage may vary, however.

I do a lot of wild life photography and find the D800 copes well. Yes the frame rate is a bit slow but with a battery pack and EN-EL18 batteries it is reasonable. But it does come down to your requirements honestly and the amount of money you would like to spend.

Why on earth would some guy in Aussie go and buy a D4 off of some Pakistani website?

Given the question you asked, the answer is simple and easy. D4. High light gathering ability and fast frame rate make it the only choice. I own a D800. J d

Wild life photography and sports photography both are very challenging kind of task and different types of cameras that can be used used for that.Nikon made exclusive kind of cameras with some special features in it.
