  • 12fps continuous shooting, Huge 200-shot raw buffer, Advanced 153-point AF, 4K video
  • Live view AF is contrast only, Highest ISOs yield poor quality, The D6 is imminent,
  • A replacement for the Nikon D5 is imminent, so not surprisingly this has led to some useful discounts on this model. But is it still desirable after all this time? The Nikon D5's AF system, rugged build, continuous shooting speed and buffer capacity are s...

  • Abstract:  With the introduction of Sony's a9, photographers who have the need for speed have three fast-paced, full frame bodies to choose from. We've reviewed the Nikon D5 and the 1D X Mark II but have yet to get our hands on Sony's new hero. Still, it makes sense...

  • Impressive AF speed and accuracy, outstanding battery life, durable build, blazing continuous shooting speeds, high ISO sensitivity
  • Lacks builtin GPS, noisy shutter, limited video feature set
