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.

The Nikon D5 is the latest in the company's evolving line of double-grip, full-frame action-oriented DSLR cameras. With a newly designed 20.8MP sensor, 12fps of continuous shooting with low viewfinder blackout and an intelligent and effective 153-point autofocus system, the D5 handily outguns its...

Nikon D5 review: Olympic effort from pro DSLR
It's no mistake that both Nikon D5 and Canon EOS 1D X Mark II have arrived in 2016. It's an Olympic year after all, with pro sports photographers seeking next-level kit to take next-level images in Rio.
Pros:
- New autofocus system is insanely good
- super-fast 12fps burst with decent buffer innings
- detail at high ISO settings is incredible
- epic battery life
Cons:
- The "Hi" ISO settings are roughly pointless
- some odd auto white balance decisions in mixed lighting
- continuous shooting undercut by Canon 1DX II

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

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
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

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...

- Ultra-fast autofocus
- Extremely senstive AF
- Very fast continuous drive with deep buffer
- Extremely responsive

- Good color-accuracy
- Flexible self-timer and exposure delay

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!
