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 other hand...
High specification autofocus system, Huge sensitivity range, Durable build
4K recording limited to 3 minutes
The D5 looks a worthy successor to the D4S, with a small but useful increase in continuous shooting speed and a massive increase in ISO range and autofocus points...
Abstract: Nikon recently released the first development announcement for their new flagship mirrorless Z9. We don't know much about it officially, and the rumor mill has somewhat more information (which may or may not be accurate). There is also one official image...
12fps continuous shooting, Huge 200-shot raw buffer, Advanced 153-point AF, 4K video
Live view AF is contrast only, Highest ISOs yield poor quality, The D6 is imminent,
A replacement for the Nikon D5 is imminent, so not surprisingly this has led to some useful discounts on this model. But is it still desirable after all this time? The Nikon D5's AF system, rugged build, continuous shooting speed and buffer capacity are s...
Abstract: Last updated: November 21, 2017Are you a speed freak? Hungry to photograph anything that goes zoom? Or perhaps you just want to get Sports Illustrated level shots of your child's soccer game.Fortunately, there are a ton of cameras on the market that will...
Abstract: There's no one camera that's perfect for everyone. Maximum resolution is a top priority for landscape photographers, while sports shooters put a premium on high-speed image capture and processing. And for some, portability or video capabilities are key co...
Abstract: With the introduction of Sony's a9, photographers who have the need for speed have three fast-paced, full frame bodies to choose from. We've reviewed the Nikon D5 and the 1D X Mark II but have yet to get our hands on Sony's new hero. Still, it makes sense...

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...
