Professional Photographer and blogger Ole J Liodden shared a extensive Nikon D5 field review with us, take a look at the conclusion of the review and images.
I think this field review covers the most important parts of my field testing, and I hope it has been interesting for you to read. You can see more about the technical details in the video below. Don’t forget to see more images from the Nikon D5 Beta test in the 4 portfolio links in the bottom of this post. As you already has understood – the new Nikon D5 camera is in my opinion not only a small improvement, but has set new standards especially regarding the AF-system and High ISO performance which will be hard to beat for other camera models. For me it looks like Nikon has found back to the “Nikon DNA” and again has a camera that is on top of the line. I’m really looking forward to get my final version of this camera (not Beta) and use it on my upcoming photo expeditions……
This field testing was very interesting and fun, and I’m thankful to Nikon and K&L for selecting me for this Nikon D5 test shooting! … Full Review at oleliodden.com

NC Take’s – The image taken at Nikon D5 at 25600 is highly usable and contains zero amount color noise..We all know that Nikon D5 supports 3.3 Million ISO range, but the image take at ISO 102400 showing significant amount of color noise and banding noise.
