Nikon ISO Journey from D1 to D5

We have made a graph based on the ISO range of Nikon flagship fullframe camera. The Nikon D5 Max ISO range was 1600 and Nikon D5 Max ISO range , take a look at graph below and share with your friends…

Nkon-D1-series-ISO-chart-imYou can see the big difference between the Nikon D5 and Nikon D4s ISO range.

From Nikon D1 to D4s Nikon was working on step-by-step progress pattern, but the Nikon D5 changed the  entire situation, the Nikon D5 created a world record by touching 3.3 Million ISO range and also records 4K video..no consumer camera till date can dare to touch the mark.

    What would be interesting to see is the Dynamic range at each iso.
    If it can get extremly clean files up to 25 000 iso it’s for sure a winner!

    NIKON – just fantastic! A dream machine!
    Your article is indeed very intersting. Sometimes one thinks – what is the limit? Obviously it doesn’t exist. I’m sure D5s is already planned to beat all this again. Amazing!

    BTW: Thinking of taking pictures with highspeed 15 f/sec. ISO range 25’000+ and w/o any flashlights at all – simply fantastic! I hope you soon will bring some test pictures – taken “in the dark” (theaters, concerts, sports etc.), and taken with shutterspeeds @ 1/1000 and more… a dream!

  • The journey of the D1 to D5. The high point of ISO of the D1 was 1600. The high point of the D5 ISO is 3280000. That is a tremendous gap. And to think that was great at the time. I remember the excitement of the Nikon D700 in 2008. 12 megapixels that camera was. Who uses a Nikon D700 today? Obsolete now it is, but still capable of good resolutions. However, I would not buy it used. Period. Just as the D1 or D2. Expensive in their heydays and now put out to pasteurs.

    If you look at the ISO value in logarithmic scale (same as DIN), the improvement from D2X to D3 is the same as D3 to D4, and same as D4 to D5. It’s good progress, but not such a huge step that the graph has implied.

    Not so surprising really.

    ISO is _logarithmic_ (doubling is just one step of increase). When you plot that on a logarithmic scale it’s just a steady increase. There was a 3EV increase between the D2X and D3, then D3 and D4.

    Guess how many stops from 409600 to 3280000?
    3 EV

    Yes the numbers are huge, but that just leads us back to the argument that maybe new units for ISO are appropriate!
