  • Abstract:  There's never been a better time to make the jump to a full-frame digital camera. Over the past few years, models with 24-by-36mm image sensors-the same dimensions as a frame of 35mm film-have become more and more affordable. And while the smaller APS-C s...

  • 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
  • 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 batte...

  • No light? No problem, Super-fast shooting, Built like a tank
  • What the hey, 4K?, Where's the Wi-Fi
  • Let's not sugarcoat it; the D5 is a niche camera. Even if you've got the cash to splash, it doesn't mean you should - it makes sense in the hands of a pro photographer, but beginners will be lost.Improvements mainly come in the way of low-light and high-s...

  • Le Nikon D5 est un boîtier impressionnant, aussi bien à l'extérieur qu'à l'intérieur. L'expérience photographique est unique, entre le confort de la visée, le haut niveau de personnalisation, l'incroyable qualité de prise en main. Pour autant, si ce n'est...
