Built with durable weather sealing and a high-resolution touchscreen, the D5 is engineered for reliability and precision in the most challenging shooting environments.

## Description

Innovation for inspiration. What determines when Nikon releases a full-frame flagship camera? When technological innovation demands it. Introducing the D5, an FX-format DSLR that makes the impossible possible. Huge advancements in sensor design, autofocus, metering and image processing result in thrilling new capabilities-low light shooting all the way to ISO 102,400 (expandable to an unheard of ISO 3,280,000), precise AF detection and tracking across that entire ISO range, regardless of your subject's speed or direction changes, blazing fast 12 fps continuous shooting, 4K UHD video and, of course, image quality that captures the hearts and minds of your viewers. This is not iteration, friends. This is innovation...spectacular innovation. How will it change the way you shoot? New 20.8MP FX-format CMOS image sensor and EXPEED 5 image processing Widest native ISO range ever in a Nikon full-frame DSLR: ISO 100 to 102,400 (expandable to Hi-5, ISO 3,280,000) Redesigned AF system with a 153 focus points, 99 cross-type sensors and a dedicated processor 4K Ultra High Definition (UHD) video recording and pro-grade video features 12 fps continuous shooting with full AF and AE performance; up to 200 shots in a single burst Game-changing low light capabilities Nikon's widest native ISO range ever The low light performance of the D5 might make it a legend. With Nikon's widest native ISO range (100 to 102,400) and highest expanded range (up to Hi-5 ISO 3,280,000), advancements in noise reduction and color fidelity and a next-generation AF system that performs in near darkness (EV -4), a world of new shooting opportunities has opened. Capture clear, sharp images you may not have attempted before - at night, in dark reception halls, arenas and more. For surveillance and security applications, this expanded ISO range means getting a shot others can't see without a flash. EXPEED 5, Nikon's most powerful p

Review: Magic, just magic. - Some people will give this camera a stellar review because its their first real pro body, but trust me, its good for those of us that have owned pro bodies before. I've been shooting with pro bodies since 2004. I've owned 1Ds, 1Ds-II, 1Ds-III, D3, D3s, D810, others... So I'm not impressed just because its a pro body. However I did love the Nikon D3s so much that I stuck with it from 2009 to 2017 (and I still have it), so its not like I'm just a gear junkie. I can't compare it to a D4 or a D4s because I skipped those. Anyway, let me summarize. AF I'm accustomed to the amazing 51 point AF system that came with the Nikon D3s. It was revolutionary and my understanding was that it didn't really get significantly better in the D4 or D4s, which is why I waited. Now the D5 has 153, 3x more! Is it 3x better, well no... but its better and not just marginally, its REALLY GOOD. It rarely misses, but when it does miss its not far off and typically yields a usable 5x7. Whats even better is that it can do it in nearly zero light, "moonlight they say", but I get solid AF in what I'd call pitch black. I tend to shoot natural light (no flash) and this camera can AF in any situation. Its hard to quantify these things. My summary is that it yields much higher hit ratio than the already amazing D3s and it does it in nearly zero light. Noise If you're pixel peeping at 100%, I see slightly less noise than the D3s at 100%, however the D3s is 12mp. If you scale the D5 down to 12mp it looks much cleaner than the D3s. Compared to the D810, there is no comparison. D810 isn't bad considering the amount of data you're collecting but even when you scale the D810 36mp image down to 20mp or even 12mp, it doesn't look nearly as clean as the D5 or D3s. Though IMHO still very clean and not a bad choice for low light -- just not the best choice. I find D3s, D810 and D5 are all phenomenal up to about ISO 1600. D810 is usable but D3s and D5 and are still very clean through 6400. At 12800+ the D5 seems to be about a 1/2 stop ahead of the D3s in noise when pixel peeping each at 100% or maybe 1.5 stops ahead if you scale the D5 down to 12mp. Where the D5 really shines apart from the D3s is the D3s is not usable after 25600 IMO other than B&W, though the D5 if scaled down to 8mp or 10mp is usable in color at ISO 102,400 or instagram photos at 204,800. The D5 starts to get a color tint at ISO 400k which is when I must go B&W. But to be able to grab a photo in extreme low light at ISO 400k and actually have something you could put on your wall (B&W) is simply amazing, magic. Dynamic Range Let me start by saying, yes yes its true, the D810 is better at recovering blown highlights or deep dark shadows at bright ISOs like 64 - 800, but beyond 800 the D5 is equal and beyond ISO 800 the D5 begins to out perform the D810 in recovering highlights and shadows. So its a matter of taste. IMO low ISO shots are for studios and landscapes, in those situations you can set up your shot perfectly with lights or bracketing and don't need highlight or shadow recovery as much (though its convenient). I almost exclusively shoot above ISO 800 and thats where the D5 is like magic, yes there is noise but to be able to recover 2.5 - 3 stops of shadows at ISO 6400 is pretty damn impressive! Speed: D3s was already fast enough for me at 9 or 11 fps. 14 is just a whirlwind of memory card eating. It is great when capturing bracketed shots handheld (which you shouldn't do) or when capturing kids, one of the 50 photos you just snapped is bound to have a non-blinking smile in there ;) Ergo and Weather proofing: As good or better than the D3s, they're almost identical. One complaint I thought they'd have fixed by now is the custom button assignment. I still can't assign any function I want to any button I want. Its like they're teasing me. Why? I just want to assign Auto-ISO to that button for that rare moment that I need to capture something in a split second. Nope, can't do it. Silly Nikon. Touch screen is pretty cool, though I'd have bought the camera even if it didn't have it. I love to be able to pinch and zoom and slide around while zoomed to make sure no one was blinking, or double check that yes in fact the D5 did get perfect focus AGAIN... Wow... I could go on, there's plenty to love.
Review: Ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner! - I am a professional photographer and I either own or have owned many other Nikon FF bodies, including the D4, D810. D750, and D700. I use these cameras as a job function; they pay my bills. So a lot of the gimmick features are wasted on me. I want bodies that do their job, do it well, and don't fail me. The D5 is not the D4. It's not the same thing with a few tweaks. Even a few days of ownership are enough to be certain of that fact. That statement includes both positives and negatives, both of which I'll try to outline here. As the weeks and months go on I will update this review with further findings. I'm going to touch on four main issues: autofocus, high ISO performance, handling/ergonomics, and overall impressions. First, the autofocus is incredible. Not good, not great; truly exceptional. I almost have to try to make it miss. The D4 does a great job of focusing in most conditions but it does struggle in a few situations. Erratic side to side movements are very tough, for example. I've yet to find a situation where the D5 struggles. Short of using superlatives I'm not sure what there is left to say on this subject. A+, 10/10, AAA. High ISO performance is one of the hallmarks of the D series. It's always excellent and the D5 is no exception. When the light gets low the D5 steps up and doesn't disappoint. I'm primarily a RAW shooter but I've been shooting RAW+JPEG since I have received the camera. The JPEG's are superb. It's very obvious that Nikon has made significant progress with their JPEG engine. The RAWs are also excellent, but not quite as amazing (comparatively) as the JPEGs. They are still MORE than acceptable and I find them to be about a stop better than the D4. However, I expect a future firmware update, paired with software updates, to make them truly amazing in the months to come. JPEGs get an A+. RAWs get an A. The ergonomics of the D5 are every bit as good as their predecessors. Everything is tight, well built, and well placed. There have been some small changes in button layout, all of which I think are improvements. The biggest improvement being the relocation of the ISO button. Instead of being located in the bottom left it's now near the shutter, making changing ISO on the fly much more convenient. It will take some relearning of muscle memory, but in the long run it will definitely be a positive. My overall impressions are highly positive. I think that Nikon's changes have been for the better and that those improvements have been significant. The high ISO quality has been improved and even a minor improvement (combined with more resolution) is impressive. The focus improvements are significant and immediately noticeable. The low ISO dynamic range seems little lower than I would have hoped for, but it's not a concern for my work and I can't imagine buyers of this camera would be concerned with it either. As I said, I will update this review in the future after I use it more, but if my long term impressions are anywhere close to what I've seen so far, I'll be highly pleased with this purchase.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this flash fit on the stock mount? http://amzn.to/2lZxvVC**
A: All Nikon compatible flashes should fit and operate on this camera.

**Q: Which is better canon 1dx mark ii or Nikon d5**
A: Depends what your definition of "better" is.  If you are looking for a flagship camera with impeccable low light performance, super fast shutter speeds and high dynamic range in the higher usable ISO range this camera is for you. Keep in mind this is a high end professional body mainly used for sports, journalism. Unless you got cash to burn and looking to buy a high line DSLR I would go with the Nikon D810, 24-70 2.8 Nikon, 700-200 2.8 Nikon and still have some cash in your pocket.

**Q: you say Item is in original packaging, but packaging has damage....is there any damage to the camera or what is ship with it camera damage?**
A: Camera was brand new packaged as I would have supposed it should have been from the factory there was no damage works perfectly I use it every day.

**Q: if took stright out of the box,...what will the shutter count be?...**
A: We don't check production new cameras, but in my experience you will often see dozens to a couple hundred count on a new one. You wouldn't want zero, and I have heard of some (especially Df cameras) being well over 1000 before shipping. The assumption is that they are calibrated with live releases that all count.

*by A***U on July 11, 2025*

I ordered an almost brand new D5, I don’t know why it was in such a good condition, I think the last owner didn’t need it it as much and just kept it safe for bad light conditions but nonetheless it was perfect condition, delivered with care and also the battery is 💯 % battery life, nothing to complain about, everything was in place! 5 stars from me! 😄 (ps: they are the last great camera, don’t miss one if you get the opportunity especially if it’s in a good condition 😁)
