Posted January 8, 2016 Not sure what to think of this... I will reserve judgement until I see tests and results Same here, while I am tempted to trade in my D4 for the D5 (especially as I've learned they use the same batteries and I don't need to invest in new ones): I already have a great camera for 4K video, so 4K in the D5 is not a big incentive Going to wait for other people to actually test the 4K video quality, waiting for reviews Will see how the 3 million ISO performs Guide: DSLR or Video camera?, Guide: Film/Photo makers' useful resources, Guide: Lenses, a quick primer Nikon D4, Nikon D800E, Fuji X-E2, Canon G16, Gopro Hero 3+, iPhone 5s.

Posted January 8, 2016 This video doesn't really impress me about the quality of the D5's video capabilities. When the D4 was first announced they had promotional videos of the D4's 1080p capabilities... but when actual users received their pre-orders people found that the D4's 1080p was horrible. So I'll wait until someone like Philip Bloom gets his hands on one and does some tests.

Posted January 8, 2016 Gotta love how it can only shoot 4K video for 3 minutes at a time... Black Magic Ursa Mini or Sony PXW FS5, FS7 FTW! For the cost of the D5 body ($6500.00), someone who really wants to shoot quality 4K might as well spend an extra $1000-2000 more and get one of the cameras I just mentioned. The Ursa Mini 4K body is $3000.00, add an additional $1000 for the V/Gold mount battery system + charger, an extra $600 or so for CFast 2.0 cards, and some cash on a couple of nice EF-mount lenses, would come to just about $6500.00.

Posted January 8, 2016 D5 sucks for video apparently 3 minutes max recording and it doesn't use the full sensor. Well I already have a great camera for 4K video, if I upgrade to the D5 it won't be for 4K. I want to see how the 3 million ISO performs compared to the Sony A7sII.

Posted January 8, 2016 I feel like the D500 was a bigger surprise. It was a bigger surprise, I had thought Nikon had abandoned the APS-C pro level body with the D300s and merged the line into the D7x00 series. The D500 looks like it will be a hit with many more togs than the D5.

Both the D5 and D500 are primarily directed at sports and wildlife photographers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 10, 2016 Canon 80D with 4K recording to compete. Huzzah! I doubt this will happen. I feel like Canon is going to try to push everyone onto the EOS C cameras for higher quality video.

I'm happy that there's a second (new) sports/wildlife cam that people can go to instead of being forced to buy the 7D2 or getting an older cam.
