Information on the Nikon D5 Dual Compact Flash version

Product features in detail

Sensors

Together, the new 20.8 megapixel FX-format CMOS image sensor and the 180k pixel RGB metering sensor capture a phenomenal level of detail, with more accurate tonal gradations. The new EXPEED 5 engine provides a superior level of image quality throughout the standard ISO range.

ISO 

One of the most impressive features of the D5 is its ISO sensitivity - Nikon's greatest to date. Ranging from 100 to 102400 and extendable at the Hi5 setting to an incredible 3,280,000, it's hard to imagine conditions in which it wouldn't be able to perform, as you can now shoot further than even the human eye can see.

4K video

The D5 is the first Nikon DSLR to allow in camera recording of UHD movies in 4K resolution (3840x2160 pixels) at 30p, 25p, and 24p, and you can capture full HD 1080p video in multiple formats at up to 50p/60p. 

LCD monitor

The sharp, clear LCD monitor is a 2360k-dot 3.2" / 8cm touch screen that is as responsive as those found on most smartphones. Focus points can be manually changed in Live View mode and it's easy to check images in great detail on the fly.

Focusing

focusing on the D5 is taken to the next level with 153 autofocus points, 99 cross-type sensors, and sensitivity going to -4EV, so performance in low-light conditions is better than ever. Detection of subjects at the edges is also improved, thanks to cross-type sensors around the periphery of the focusing area, and vertical shooting is also significantly better than on previous models. Furthermore, the full amount of computing power is applied to autofocusing as a result of the new AF ASIC unit.

Tracking

With AE / AF tracking, you can shoot up to 12fps, or 14fps mirror up. In situations which require fast response, the autofocus tracking is now greatly improved.

Burst shooting

In a single high-speed burst, you can record up to 200 NEF or large JPEGs, so high-speed moments can be captured without removing your finger from the shutter release button.

Data transfer

The new USB 3.0 port provides high-speed transfer, up to four times quicker wireless connectivity, and a double speed Ethernet connection.

I've had a single didget Nikon on my bucket list for ages, now I know how good a camera can be. This thing is big and heavy but doesn't feel it when in your hand as it's very well balanced. The focus and shutter response is almost instant and I've yet to fool the exposure system on it. The auto white balance only failed me once and that was easy to fix in post. Ergonomicaly it's flawless and although the power switch seemed small and fragile it has not proved a problem. The images are stunning, the noise levels at higher ISO's( 12000 and above) is excellent and so far the dynamic range has not proved the problem some reviewers made it out to be. Absolute stunner of a camera.

great images., image noise is excellent., Ergonomics., Very responsive controls., Flawless focussing.
If anything it could do with a few more toys at this price such as built in Wi-Fi and GPS.

The D5 is just the easiest camera to use. As a full time photographer I need to be efficient as well as deliver, the D5 helps me do that. Is it just for sports, no it's not. I regularly use my D5's, yes I have 2! However, I use them for events and weddings.

Why do I love this camera? Other than it's easy to use, Whatever the light, this camera can deal with it, the ISO is really effective when you understand how to use it in Auto mode. The focusing is the quickest I have ever come across!

Quick to focus, ISO, Easy to use, tough, one camera to do all.
