Nikon D5
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 battery life makes the Nikon D5 the best...
Pros:
- Great colour accuracy
- Class-leading ISO performance
- Precise
- top-not autofocus
- Extensive array of controls
- Frankly insane battery life
Cons:
- Heavy
- Slight loss of sharpness in JPEG compressions
- Expensive

At first the D5 looks and feel like a D4 - or a D3, D2 etc, but in reality the D5 is from a whole different generation. The latest autofocus is extraordinary. In 3D continuous mode, I'm getting a rejection rate of about 1% shooting sports with a 300mm f4 PF ED attached!

Nikon D5 XQD
The Nikon D5 is clearly a solid professional photography tool. While it headlines a new 20 megapixels CMOS sensor, EXPEED 5 image processing engine and 153-point Phase-Detect AF module, what makes it a fantastic camera is what it takes from the D4: Exceptionally fast performance and outstanding...

- Clean JPEG images
- Outstanding high-ISO dynamic-range
- Ultra-fast autofocus
- Extremely senstive AF
- Very fast continuous drive with deep buffer
- Extremely responsive
- Ultra-short black-out
- Good color-accuracy
- Flexible self-timer and exposure delay
- Highly customizable with plenty of controls,...
Cons:
- Noisy RAW files
- Poor Automatic White-Balance in low-light
- Bizarre Auto ISO

- Poor Live-view
- not Exposure-Priority
- 1.5X crop for 4K

Nikon D5
But for photographers on the fence, the answer isn't as transparent. The D5 and 1D X Mark II are very close in performance, with Canon earning points for its video autofocus capability, shadow recovery, built-in GPS, and higher maximum shooting rate, and Nikon winning the battle in high ISO image...
Pros:
- Fast 153-point autofocus system
- 12fps continuous shooting
- Strong high ISO image quality
- 20MP full-frame image sensor
- Tough, durable build
- 3.2-inch touch LCD
- Clean HDMI output
- 4K video capture
- Available with dual XQD or CF slots
Cons:
- 4K video is cropped
- Underwhelming autofocus for video
- No Wi-Fi or GPS
- Omits in-body flash

Nikon D5
The Nikon D5 captures excellent images, but its 20.8-megapixel sensor trades low ISO dynamic range for excellent high ISO performance. What it doesn't compromise on is autofocus and speed with 153 AF points and 12fps continuous shooting for up to 200 images, respectively.
Pros:
- Excellent image quality
- Excellent high ISO performance
- Fast 153-point autofocus system
- Fast continuous shooting speeds
- 4K video recording
- Pro-quality camera body
- Outstanding battery life
Cons:
- Large and heavy body might not be right for all
- Loud shutter
- Underutilized touchscreen
- Low ISO dynamic range not as good as predecessor
- Extended high ISOs not very useful
- Sluggish Live View AF

Nikon D5 review
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.
Pros:
- No light? No problem
- Super-fast shooting
- Built like a tank
Cons:
- What the hey
- 4K
- Where's the Wi-Fi
