Nikon D5 Field Review by Ole J Liodden

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

We do expect better core specification than the rumored one, we do also believe at the moment Canon will going to introduce the Dual pixel CMOS AF technology in its upcoming Canon 1DX Mark II camera, the other major improvement will arrive for sure is the introduction of advance image processor as well as high density AF system better than the current 65 point based AF system.

The other major advancement we do expect is the Boost in the ISO range that directly competes with the recently announce Nikon D5 DSLR, as for the update you must know that it’s ISO range touches the 3.3 Million mark. So Canon will sure going to introduce a machine that will going not only compete but to also become a market leader.
