Nikon_D5_Spec

After much speculation, detailed specifications of Nikon’s upcoming flagship DSLR camera have leaked – and it looks promising.

Living up to most of the rumors, the D5 is a speed monster capable of shooting up to 200 14-bit images in continuous mode and has 153 AF points to make sure the photos are all in focus.

Working in extremely low-light situations should also be greatly improved thanks to an extended ISO range reaching up to 3,280,000.

An exact release time has not been announced, but the official announcement is expected to take place within a day.

One of the big question regarding the D5 was whether it would stick with the XQD memory cards or switch to dual CF cards. Turns out Nikon will launch two versions of the camera, each featuring identical dual memory card slots of your preferred format. This might make inventory management a bit more difficult for stores, but will be very helpful for those who are just moving up to the high-end series.

Below are the specs as shared by Digicame-info:

  • Two D5 versions: XQD and CF (dual memory card slot)
  • Newly developed 20.82 MP CMOS sensor
  • EXPEED 5 image processing engine
  • 4K video correspondence
  • 153 AF points. 99-point cross sensor, F8 corresponding 15 points
  • Continuous shooting (continuous shooting up to 200 frames in 14bit lossless compression RAW) 12 fps with AF / AE tracking
  • Continuous shooting speed at the time of the mirror up to 14 fps (AE / AF fixed)
  • High ISO of 102,400
  • extended sensitivity Hi5: ISO 3,280,000
  • 2-inch 2.36 million dot LCD touchscreen monitor
  • Shutter speed 30 seconds to 1/8000 seconds
  • Viewfinder coverage 100% (FX) and magnification of 0.72x
  • SuperSpeed ​​USB (USB3.0 Micro-B terminal)
  • EN-EL18a battery
  • Weight: XQD version – 1405g, CF version – 1415g (both including battery and memory cards)
  • Shipping as of March 2016

So what’s your take on these specs?

  • Rounding up 20,000 ISO? Man, if only banks did that same kind of math.

    I can’t see the CF one having any resale value when the price of the XQD cards comes down as it will.

  • I wonder if the continuous shooting of 200 14-bit shots will only be possible on the XQD version, at 20mp those are some really larger files. Will need serious write speeds to keep that up.

  • I’m so bored of max ISO boasting. The truth is when there is so little light, nothing has much shape, texture and character. I’d much rather see performance (other than just noise) at regular event levels, like 800-6400.
