Nikon D5 XQD
The Nikon D5 XQD is Nikon's flagship camera and a dream camera for many professionals. It comes with two memory card options: dual XQD slots and dual CompactFlash slots. An authorised Nikon dealer can switch the memory configuration in case you decide to change.
The imaging capabilities are advanced and powered by the new EXPEED 5 processor that's 25% more energy efficient than the previous EXPEED 4 processor found on the predecessor D4S. Nikon D5 sports a 20.8MP FX CMOS sensor. The autofocus really stands out with 153 AF points.
An alternative camera is Nikon D500 that contains many of the features in D5 XQD, but retails at a lower price point.
