Feature-Highlights:
Next-generation AF
Featuring an incredible 153 focus points, including 99 cross-type sensors, the D5 provides exceptionally wide AF coverage. Its AF sensitivity down to -4 EV (ISO 100, 20°C/68°F) enables superior low-light performance.
New metering and image sensors
The all-new 20.8 MP FX-format CMOS image sensor and 180K-pixel RGB metering sensor deliver phenomenally accurate subject recognition and image detail, with richer and more accurate tonal gradations.
Winning combination of power and precision
Shoot at up to 12 frames per second (fps) with AE/AF tracking, or up to 14 fps with mirror up. AF tracking and viewfinder visibility are vastly improved for capturing fast, unpredictable action.
High-performance buffer
Capture up to 200 NEF (RAW) or large JPEG images in a single high-speed burst, sufficient for an entire 100m sprint final without interruption.
Phenomenal sensitivity
Push the boundaries with an ISO range of 100 to 102400, extendable to ISO 3280000 equivalent at the Hi 5 setting. Experience exceptionally clean performance from ISO 3200 to 12800.
High-definition 4K/UHD movies
Record 4K movies (3840x2160 pixels) at 30p/25p/24p using a native pixel crop for the highest image quality. Full HD (1080p) video can be shot at up to 50p/60p in multiple formats.
