Nikon's D4, the sequel to the D3s and basically the most badass camera you can buy, is not troubled by the darkness. It loves the darkness. It thrives in the darkness.

But the D4 handled it like a champ. Check out the full gallery over at Pop Photo to see just how scary-good this camera really is.
