The Professional’s Choice

The Nikon D5 is the flagship full-frame DSLR camera for Nikon. Built for professional photographers, the D5 packs superior performance and technology into a rock-solid workhorse body capable of capturing remarkable moments. It’s perfect for sports, photojournalist, event and wedding photographers.

True-to-Life Colours

At the heart of the camera is Nikon’s 20.8 Megapixel FX format CMOS sensor and the EXPEED 5 image-processing engine. This powerful combination produces vibrant true-to-life colours with spectacular details and superb overall image quality. The bright 0.72x optical viewfinder helps you precisely compose each photograph with its 100% frame coverage.

Conquer Low-light Scenarios

With a native ISO sensitivity that starts at a clean base of 100 and reaches 102400 with further expandability to Hi 5 (ISO 3280000 equivalent), you’ll be able to capture clean photographs and footage in the darkest of situations, beyond the limit of the naked eye. A next-generation intelligent AF system enables focus acquisition in extremely dim environments with -4 EV AF sensitivity at the centre point and -3 EV for other points.

Astounding Autofocus Performance

The autofocus system of the camera has been refined since the already excellent D4s and delivers precise and reliable focus on your subjects in even the most demanding conditions. The Multi-CAM 20K 153 point high-density AF phase detect system offers increased coverage of the frame (30% more than the D4s) with 99 cross points. Featuring a dedicated autofocus processor, subject acquisition speed and accuracy is best in class.

Spectacular Full Frame Speed and Precision with 12 FPS with AF and AE

Track moving subjects with ease thanks to the impressive 12 frames per second capability with high-speed continuous focus and auto exposure. The camera buffer enables up to 200 JPG, RAW (NEF 14-bit, uncompressed) or RAW + JPG sequences to be shot. A 180000 RGB metering sensor enhances the Dynamic AF, Group AF and Face Detection autofocus modes, resulting in class-leading continuous tracking even while shooting in burst modes.

Illuminated Buttons for Dark Situations

To match the incredible high ISO performance of this camera, illuminated LCD and buttons are used on the top and rear of the camera, making it simple to operate in extremely low-light conditions.

Built for Professional Workflow

The camera is available in two versions, one that supports dual CompactFlash cards and the other with dual XQD card slots for even faster data throughput and performance. Choose the camera which suits your current or future workflow.

Sporting a high-resolution 3.2-inch 2,359l-dot touchscreen rear LCD, the D5 enables quick and intuitive image and video playback. Double tap to zoom in and quickly assess focus, swipe to flip between sequences and find the perfectly timed image

Cinematic Brilliance with 4K Ultra High Definition Video

Equipped with 4K UHD (3840 x 2160) video, the camera is a great tool for moviemaking professionals. The D5 implementation records 30p/25p/24p videos with uncompressed HDMI output with dot-by-dot readout. Coupled with the high ISO performance of the camera, cinematographers will be able to shoot in extremely low light scenarios and take their vision to the next level.

4K Compatible Timelapse Movies

An in-camera time-lapse movie feature makes producing time-lapse movies easy. Exposure smoothing functions can be activated to capture subtle exposure variances in each frame of the output.

Excellent Ergonomics

A redesigned handgrip has been contoured to fit with most users for comfortable all-day usage. The vertical battery grip makes it easy to take photographs in portrait orientation, and the AF-On and AF joystick controls are replicated on both the vertical and horizontal grip for ease of use and continuity.
