Abstract: There's never been a better time to make the jump to a full-frame digital camera. Over the past few years, models with 24-by-36mm image sensors-the same dimensions as a frame of 35mm film-have become more and more affordable. And while the smaller APS-C s...
Great colour accuracy, Class-leading ISO performance, Precise, top-not autofocus, Extensive array of controls, Frankly insane battery life
Heavy, Slight loss of sharpness in JPEG compressions, Expensive
This is the ace, and we cannot help marvel at the Nikon D5's solid imaging performance in terms of sharpness, details and full-bodied colours. High dynamic range and speed of shooting are aided by superior AF and ISO performances, and abysmally good batte...
Feels indestructible, Fantastic image quality, World-beating battery life
Cost, cost, cost, No Wi-Fi, Better video modes elsewhere
Image 3 of 21What a piece of kit. Point the Nikon D5 at unfolding action, hold the AF button down and start shooting and you'll be amazed at its fantastic hit rate. Sharp image after sharp, well-exposed image are pulled at incredible speed onto its memory...
So, at a shade over £5,000 will I be rushing out to order a D5 any time soon? I have to say that I am sorely tempted. The camera is fantastic in almost every way. The drive speed, build quality and ISO performance are legendary and currently market-leadin...
Extreme ISO range, 153-point AF system, Great image quality, 12 FPS bursts, 200-shot buffer, 4K video with HDMI output
Slow Live View AF, No built-in Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or GPS
Chances are, you already know whether or not you're the type of photographer who needs this camera. Buying the D5 is a fairly simple decision for a working professional with a library of Nikon glass. If they have the clients and the budget, why not?As for...
No light? No problem, Super-fast shooting, Built like a tank
What the hey, 4K?, Where's the Wi-Fi
Let's not sugarcoat it; the D5 is a niche camera. Even if you've got the cash to splash, it doesn't mean you should - it makes sense in the hands of a pro photographer, but beginners will be lost. Improvements mainly come in the way of low-light and high...
The 5D is aimed at pros and delivers a performance that won't disappoint them. With improvements to just about every aspect of the D4s, it's a flagship model that demands respect. Its huge buffer capacity has to be experienced to be truly appreciated, its...
After spending a few weeks with the D5, I believe it fully justifies its £5,200 retail price. I shoot between 30 and 40 weddings each year, not to mention a lot of pre-wedding and engagement shoots. Im a stickler for good equipment that not only gives me...

New autofocus system is insanely good, super-fast 12fps burst with decent buffer innings, detail at high ISO settings is incredible, epic battery life
The “Hi” ISO settings are roughly pointless, some odd auto white balance decisions in mixed lighting, continuous shooting undercut by Canon 1DX II
Make no bones about it: the Nikon D5 is an astounding pro-spec camera. It's also inevitably going to be compared to the Canon EOS 1D X II. Of the pair we'd say the Canon is the speedier and, arguably, more adept at video work; the Nikon, on the othe...
