Focal points<br />
Be prepared to be amazed by the D5. For serious<br />
professionals, it simply doesn’t get much better<br />
Autofocus<br />
The D5 introduces a<br />
new Multi-CAM 20K<br />
autofocus module,<br />
the same as that<br />
used within the Nikon<br />
D500. It features a<br />
complex arrangement<br />
of 153 AF points, and<br />
99 of these are the<br />
cross-type variety.<br />
All focus points are<br />
compatible with AF<br />
Nikkor lenses with<br />
an aperture of f/5.6<br />
or faster, and the 15<br />
central points work<br />
with an effective<br />
aperture of f/8.<br />
Battery<br />
This is 25% more efficient<br />
than before and is capable<br />
of rattling off 3,780 shots<br />
from a single charge.<br />
Image<br />
processor<br />
The EXPEED 5 image<br />
processor enables<br />
the D5 to shoot a<br />
continuous burst at<br />
up to 12fps with AF<br />
tracking. There’s the<br />
option to increase<br />
this to 14fps with<br />
fixed focus and<br />
exposure when the<br />
mirror is locked up.<br />
In addition, the<br />
high-performance<br />
buffer allows the D5<br />
to shoot up to 200<br />
NEF (raw) or large<br />
JPEG files during a<br />
high-speed burst.<br />
158.5mm 92mm<br />
Weather sealing<br />
Constructed from magnesium alloy with full weather<br />
sealing, the D5 offers the same built-like-a-tank feel<br />
in the hand we’re used to from Nikon’s flagship DSLRs.<br />
Memory cards<br />
Pros have the choice of<br />
buying the D5 with dual<br />
CompactFlash card<br />
slots or dual XQD slots.<br />
160mm<br />
