The D5 is Nikon's most powerful camera yet, aimed at pro shooters who need speed and the ultimate high ISO capability.

Extreme ISO range; 153-point AF system; Great image quality; 12 FPS bursts; 200-shot buffer; 4K video with HDMI output

Slow Live View AF; No built-in Wi-Fi; Bluetooth; or GPS

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,...

Noisy RAW files; Poor Automatic White-Balance in low-light; Bizarre Auto ISO; Limited AF-coverage; Poor Live-view; not Exposure-Priority; 1.5X crop for 4K; Highly compressed 4K; Rather bulky

In November 2015 Nikon announced that the D5 was in development to replace the D4S, the company's flagship SLR aimed at professional photojournalists and sports photographers. With the Olympic games arriving this summer it was odds-on that we'd see something concrete at CE in January, and sure...

I bought this item after selling both my kidneys. Absolutely love it. If you have any kidneys left after buying iPhone 7, you must buy this.

It might sound like playground smack talk, but it's also the mantra that's kept rivals Canon and Nikon neck-and-neck for decades, churning out some properly brilliant cameras in the process.

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.

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...

Great colour accuracy; Class-leading ISO performance; Precise; top-not autofocus; Extensive array of controls; Frankly insane battery life

Heavy; Slight loss of sharpness in JPEG compressions; Expensive

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...

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...

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...
