Abstract: Nikon's latest flagship FX-mount, full-frame DSLR — the D5 — is a performance powerhouse, featuring a new 153-point autofocus system and 12 fps burst shooting of up to 200 14-bit RAW files. Designed for the traditional customer base of sports, press and w...
Impressive AF speed and accuracy, outstanding battery life, durable build, blazing continuous shooting speeds, high ISO sensitivity
Lacks builtin GPS, noisy shutter, limited video feature set
For those firmly in Nikon's camp, the D5 makes a powerful case for continued investment. To quote Patiño, “the D5 is a $6,500 autofocusing machine.” It's the best we've tested in that department. It's low-light capabilities—sensitivity and focusing—are eq...

Excellent image quality; rugged weathersealed body design What's Not: Large size and high price tag Who It's For: Professionals who need to handle any photographic situation
Large size and high price tag Who It's For: Professionals who need to handle any photographic situation
While the uppermost sensitivity setting is largely pointless, the D5 is a very capable low-light camera and at high sensitivity settings it produces cleaner images than the Canon 1DX Mark II. The autofocus system is also very good and likely to find favou...
New 20.8MP fullframe sensor with barraising overall high ISO performance, 12fps continuous shooting with low viewfinder blackout times, Classleading AF subject tracking performance with 153 AF points, 99 cross sensors spread across the frame for AF in cha
Low ISO dynamic range and Raw file malleability lacking, comparatively, Large size and heavy weight will put off some users, JPEG engine noise reduction is still clumsier than the best on the market, XQD card model required for maximum buffer performance,
The Nikon D5 represents a more remarkable upgrade to the D4S than its appearance suggests. With a completely revamped autofocus system, the D5 will keep up with just about any subject under just about any lighting conditions. The new sensor offers class-l...
