Nikon D4S vs Canon 6D Mark II

Nikon D4S advantages over Canon 6D Mark II

• Bigger pixels
  ~ 7.31 vs 5.67 microns
  Better low-light and dynamic range (all else equal)
• Fast startup
  ~0.20 vs 0.5 sec
  Faster startup lets you catch the moment
• More dynamic range

  More dynamic range

  Cameras with more dynamic range allow you to take photos with dramatic differences in highlight and shadow areas while retaining detail in both.

  Think of a brilliant sunset on a rocky beach: Bright sunset in the background, with dark rocks in the foreground. High dynamic range means more of the extremes will be faithfully reproduced.

  Longer stills battery life

  Cameras with longer battery life can take more photos before exhausting their batteries.

  Special note: The measurement standard for battery life stipulates that if a camera has an internal flash, it must be used for 50% of photos taken. For this reason, comparisons of one camera with an internal flash to another without will not be comparable
