Nikon D5
The D5 is an exceptional DSLR for any professional photographer. Whether you're coming from a D4s or elsewhere, the D5 is a worthwhile upgrade. It is especially ideal for capturing motion and low-light media.

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

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...

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
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...

Nikon D5
The D5 is Nikon's latest flagship professional DSLR, sitting right at the top of its line-up and representing an upgrade from 2014's D4S. It's no surprise to see Nikon announcing a new camera in this year with big sporting tournaments, especially the Olympics, on the horizon.

Nice upgrade from the D4 / D4s for those who need the speed
The D3 / D3S was a game changer. The D4 / D4s gave me better AF and better resolution. The D5 has better AF, resolution and ISO, 1.5 stops better than my D4. Looking forward to the firmware upgrade I recommend going for the XQD version, for the speed

Had the camera for a few months now. It's big and heavy, but definitely worth dropping by. The battery lasts forever. The camera always catch what you point it at. Awesome good camera! Sure it costs. But according to me who runs his own right it is a good investment.

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
