Incredible
I do nature, automotive, and aviation photography and my god there has never been a better camera to do it on. The clearness of each photo, the focus capabilities, and the over-all feel of the camera is like no other. If you have the opportunity to buy this camera do it.

would give it 6 stars if I could....
Brilliant beyond words. A major leap forward from the D4. I used it primarily for wildlife and motorsports and there's simply no equal to how it functions. Sensors do an amazing job in tracking subjects allowing for some amazing shots that weren't possible before.

The Prince of Darkness
It was a difficult decision for me to purchase a D5 after owning a Nikon D810 for two years. I am not a professional photographer but a photography enthusiast. I shoot ~100,000 pics each year at high school sporting events, concerts, etc... I love my D810 and all that it can do.

Low light king
Phenomenal pictures taken at Carlsbad cavern in New Mexico. I set iso on auto while shooting with a AF-S Nikkor 24-70 mm f/2.8 E. ED VR lens. The auto focus was great and locked onto most everything I wanted pics of.

Nikon D5
But for photographers on the fence, the answer isn't as transparent.

Nikon D5
We haven't reviewed a Nikon pro camera since March 2010, when we had the D3s so we were quite excited when offered the new Nikon D5. Contained in a body that has changed little since the D4, the new camera provides a new Nikon-designed CMOS sensor with 20.8 megapixels (effective) and a new EXPEED 5...
