Fast 153-point autofocus system. 12fps continuous shooting. Strong high ISO image quality. 20MP full-frame image sensor. Tough, durable build. 3.2-inch touch LCD. Clean HDMI output. 4K video capture. Available with dual XQD or CF slots.

4K video is cropped. Underwhelming autofocus for video. No Wi-Fi or GPS. Omits in-body flash.

Conclusions If you want a top-end SLR that can keep focus locked on moving subjects, shoot at an incredible burst rate, and deliver the image quality you expect from a full-frame system, you have two excellent options among current models. The Canon...

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...

High specification autofocus system ; Huge sensitivity range ; Durable build

4K recording limited to 3 minutes ; Vertical grip control arrangement doesn't match the horizontal grip's ; The information screens should be more useful

The Nikon D5 will keep pros happy with its great burst-shooting and low-light performance, but a couple of niggling build issues mean it isn't as convincing an upgrade over the D4S as it could have been.

New autofocus system is insanely good, super-fast 12fps burst with decent buffer innings, detail at high ISO settings is incredible, epic battery life

The “Hi” ISO settings are roughly pointless, some odd auto white balance decisions in mixed lighting, continuous shooting undercut by Canon 1DX II

Feels indestructible ; Fantastic image quality ; World-beating battery life

Cost, cost, cost ; No Wi-Fi ; Better video modes elsewhere

If you’re less than a full-time pro, you don’t need this. Its ability to get the shot, whatever the conditions, however many days since you’ve seen an electrical outlet, is overkill for most. Indeed, many pros will find themselves only taking full...

No light? No problem ; Super-fast shooting ; Built like a tank

What the hey, 4K? ; Where’s the Wi-Fi

Nikon’s top-line DSLR knocks it out the park for professional and sports photographers

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. If you are in a field that requires this...
