The D5 can do recording for an indefinite time at 4K out to an Atomos device. This makes it a very good video camera. Plus it doesn't have the unusable 4K codec of the Canon DSLRs. The GH4 has a sensor that is just a quarter the size of the full frame sensor, thus making the two cameras incomparable. Micro four thirds sensors can never be better than full frame sensors. They can be pretty good though. I don't understand why you recommend them for video if they really are quite small sensors.
Plus not everyone needs 4K. I think I might take 1080p out of the FF D750 over the 4K out of the MFT GH4.
Why are you comparing a D5 to a D810 itls like comparing a Ferrari to a Landrover.
I'll never buy this camera but the "Machine Gun mode" is always cool to see in action.
Eduardo Elias Ferreira hi
Nice vid! Just for the record, the last little bit about how much a D5 would cost per month ($120) was a neat way to look at a buy/no buy decision that had I never considered. It's impressive how much time and effort you guys put into your reviews! Keep it up!
Thanks for the solid review, Tony. With some of the new tech in the D5 going into the new D500, I am going to be really interested in that camera. I'm looking forward to your review of the D500, and I think that is the camera that so many of us wildlife photographers have the high hopes for.
This is easily one of the best reviews I have had the pleasure of checking out. Thanks for that.
really like how you guys deconstruct a product in review.. this is the most practical review i have have seen for the D5, where the reviewer is not trashing Nikon but clarifies what the D5 camera is built [high speed, low noise, specialised purpose built tool] for and who can make the most of it.
Great review. You guys really produce content which is second-to-none!
+overTIMe Thanks!
Tony & Chelsea Northrup Your last names like Northrup Grumman,lol.BTW,I think it's a much better choice to buy a D810 than a D5 .And I have a question,I remember in one of your videos u said 5-6 yrs there gonna be 100Mp cameras.So,any manufacturers coming up with those kind of cameras with 4k60p capabilities and a ccd censor?That would be awesome.
As always a great real world review thats non bias and aimed at giving true detailed comparisons, thank you
Beautiful comparison. I especially loved the price factor broken down to a monthly cost. brilliant job, gentlemen. It didn't take me a second to subcribe to your channel. I know I will be coming back for more reviews.
The best review I've seen on this body -- bar none.
Wondering how you feel on a D4s vs. D5 upgrade? overall costs vs. benefits etc...
THANKS Tony & C !
Looking forward to your review on d500 .many thanks for great reviews etc.
I watch all the more well-known photographers, Matt Granger, Jared Polin, etc., and this was by far, the most informative and comprehensive review for what I wanted to know. Thank you for this and all your other videos. I really like you guys the best.
Tony, Excellent Review! Thank you. Thrilled to hear you plan of perform a Canon 1 DX mk ii vs Nikon D5 review. That should be very interesting.
I still take the D5 with me when I go rock climbing in the Desert.
I bought the d810 last year because you guys and haven't regretted it yet!! awesome review
i love your Photography videos!
You guys have the very best reviews. Much appreciated!
I've been on the fence to switch systems for quite some time. This demo helped me out in many ways as I like the way that you and Chelsea approached the subject with an intuitive and casual demeanor. As a Sony shooter for several years, I've grown long in the tooth with how the company handles their product updates and customer support. Not even the A7 series cameras are enough to make up for the shortfalls in this area. While the Canon has always impressed me, I simply prefer the Nikon glass over that of Canon. I was debating between the D5 and the 810 and this video helped. I plan to buy your book soon after writing this review.
Amazing video quality of this video !! Great work
Thanks alot guys for the in depth review! You two do awesome work! Heck, I really wish I could save up quicker for the D 810.
Thanks for the depreciating value perspective. Very cool that you consider ALL the angles
i like the ending where you go over camera cost and resale value. i hope you keep doing that for other cameras you review.
Great video. I really enjoyed it. Thanks for the dedication and and desire to share, Keep it up.
First Post. I Like the breakdown of cost/life time equipment . Honest and Real
Oh yeah! You, as always - are the best!
Thanks for the detailed review!
Excellent!
Thanks Tony and Chelsea, this was very informative. 👍🏾
Really great comparison and video. Thank you.
Your videos got much better.
Excellent job.
Best review on the D5 in the TH-cam world period, i was embarrassed when you compared the D7200(it's a camera i have) buffer with the D5, and relieved seconds after when you showed a far better picture for birding from the D7200, such a funny moment...... Thanks Guys looking forward for your upcoming reviews
Great info, I own the D810 and its a great camera for my needs. I'm looking forward to your comparison of the Nikon D500 to the D810!
Long time lurker here, just wanted to say, I like your videos. :)
Fantastic review! Thorough and fun :-)
+Smaakjeks K Thank you :D
Wow difference is massive! My life has been forever improved! I am getting five of these!
Very thorough and objective as always. 10/10!
Nice review, I’m looking forward to your review on the D500.
I love this review Tony, I might not be able to afford this camera in the immediate future, but, yeah, thank you for holding a camera that I continuously fantasize about
Thanks for the overview! Very, very helpful as always. Say what do you think the better value is? If you could only have one camera between a used D750, D810, used D700, D3S, D4S, or a new D5. You got to do weddings, headshots, portraits, seniors, no sports let's say. e.g. What most of us do making a living in general photography day to day. The occasional not so critical product shoot and portraits of all types, local magazine work etc... Just your average local photographer.
Bought the D5 for sports as even my D500 in a D1 College gym had issues with lighting. Main subject are jets at air shows and for a FX body, it still does great because of the focusing.
Thanks for all the videos. Im not even interested in this camera and I watched it because I like yall's stuff. What strap did you have on the d5 throughout the review?
I really enjoy your video, you do really good reviews. I like D5, it's all purpose camera to me. It's fast for sports, really good in low light and give me little bit more resolution than D4s, and 2 xqd cards. That's was main reason I upgraded from D4s. I would like to see D5 against D4s and canon 1DX mark ii when you get chance. Thanks
Great review, Thanks! btw, did you test the 1080p video for low light?
Like always. Great video. Not in the market for the D5, but I would like to get the D810
4:21 That's a lot of CA from the lens used for the video (28-135?).
I like your videos now I have a question what do you think about the Nikon D2xs? I know that camera is old but I would like to buy one, what do you think?
Enjoyed the video Tony! Looking forward to your D500 review - will you be testing the Nikon 200-500 VR with it? Thanks, Andy.
i am very exited for the wildlife shoutout. also intrested how the d500 compares to the d7200 in wildlife photography.
Thanks for doing the review I wish you guys would have used the camera where it's meant to be used. Your soccer pictures where are they with different ISO and settings? Even a wedding with lots of low light? Camera Store did a great review with lots of outdoor shots putting the camera through its' paces splashing water on it. I know my D5 and D4s have been through a MMA event, Soccer, Ultra Marathon etc.
I would love to see if at all possible the D500 Test with Nikon's AF-S VR 200-500mm 5.6 as a wildlife and sports combo.
Keep up the amazing work you guys do.
Can't wait to see your review of the D500 for Wildlife and Birds... I use a D610 with the Nikkor 200 - 500now, but think that the D500 could really up the lowlight capture and much better focusing. Add in the 1.5x crop and it should be a killer combination. So, I can't wait to see your testing and conclusions
Thank you Tony for this Video. Although I am not looking to buy this Camera, I loved your comparisons and Point of View.
I am looking to buy a camera for Wildlife Photography (birds) in low light to replace my Nikon D7100 Body and looking forward to your other videos. I would love a comparison between Nikon D500 and D810 / D750. I shortlisted these 3 and will be looking to buy one in the coming 3-4 months. Would love to hear your thoughts on the same.
When I first watched this video, I didn't know about the most expensive DSLR Nikon ever made. The Nikon D3X. When released it retailed for $8000! It featured a 24MP full frame sensor that is still rated very highly for it's color depth and dynamic range. I recently found a D3X in a like-new condition for $1000. Great images in a tough body. Love your channel!
Best review of this camera so far, would of been great to see it in action shooting some live action sport though. Can't wait to see the D500 review, going to be much more attainable for mere mortals like.
Exceptional review,
Tony and Chelsea, This is one professional review! Your cost analysis at the end is spot on, exactly what I have experienced with the D4.
Question: I am looking for a review or opinion on low ISO (i.e. ISO 100-800) D4 (D4s) vs D5 dynamic range in high contrast photos. Examples in Fashion, interiors, etc.
Thanks
Mike
+Mike Lyons Photography, have you read the review from DPReview? www.dpreview.com/news/9402203921/nikon-d5-shows-drop-in-dynamic-range and some more info here www.photonstophotos.net/Charts/PDR.htm#Nikon%20D4,Nikon%20D4S,Nikon%20D5
Could you guys please make a review of Nikon 600 mm f4 VR? And examine the combination Nikon D4 or Nikon D810 with this lens
Great review ! quick question , do you not use a lenshood ? is it useless ?
What a great review, thanks for taking a step back and pointing out some things that the "me too" brigade will have missed in the stampede.
Fab video, what is the watch you are wearing mate looks great
Thank you for doing an honest and thorough review covering all aspects, so that even the novice photographer can finally understand that this is not a general all rounder. People will have to understand that this is not a video camera, (and the firmware update to shoot 4k for 30mins will come, most probably), this is not a landscape camera, this is not a street or holiday camera, or even a wildlife camera, BUT, it is a beast of a SPORTS & NEWS REPORTING camera, BECAUSE, that's exactly what it was designed to do, and that's who will buy this camera.
I'm so glad you proved the AF system to be so good, because "The Angry Phatphuc" went into a camera store, looked at this camera for 5 mins, and called it a review of "why the D5 was so bad, particularly the AF", and yet he's just got hold of the D500, and can't stop going on about how good the AF is on the D500.
Can't wait for you to do an actual comparison of the D500 and the D5.
Tony one more important advantage of the D5 vs the 810 involves cold weather. While shooting Polar Bears on the Hudson Bay in October my 810 battery froze every morning soon after introducing it to the 10-15 degree weather while my D4 battery, the same as the D5, worked like a champ. In fact well under zero degrees fahrenheit the D4 battery never even slowed.
Will be looking forward to D5 vs 1Dx II comparo .
By the what lens was used while filming at 4:13 ; the colour fringing on the D5 was horrible .
It looked like the A6300 body was being used , was Sony glass being used ?
Excellent review, just a clarification: The D750 does not have the same autofocus of the D810, it's better in once sense (more sensible up to ev -3) and lesser in other (more tight)
for the video section were you running auto WB on all the cameras? love all your videos. thanks!
awesome video.
Tony is it true the D5 will not need to be calibrated manually to each lens as it now can do that automatically?
I have used Nikon for over 25 years mainly reportage and sports areas. The reports of the Nikon d5 seems to offer more frame per second over the Nikon D4s but other areas it appears that Nikon gone backwards in others. I may be willing to change systems to Canonic you get a chance to compare the Nikon D5 v Canon 1dx mark 2.
Hasn't dynamic range been sacrificed for ISO performance in the D5 ?
My god that camera is HUGE! Especially when Chelsea is holding it, it looks massive! But good review, definitely a niche camera though that only a few pro's would absolutely know if they need it or not.
I have the older D800 and D4. I find the D800 suffers more motion blur if I am not using a tripod. The D4 handheld always produces sharper images than the D800. Unless I am not in a studio or doing landscape photography, the D4 always gets the better image.
amazing stuff 🎯
so can i ask , if you shot as many wildlife, say Birds in flight , photos in ok Light with D 5 as D 810 ,with same lens will they be as sharp?so 10 shot would all be 10 in focus for d-5 >
7:39 that is incorrect, the d4s has dual processor (though one processor isn't completely dedicated to af algorithms). In addition, the af module with the d750 is Advanced Multicam 3500 FX ll while the d810 and d4s are both Advanced Multicam 3500 FX
Nice work on this review.
+Michael Hickey Thanks!
The best thing, for me, about the D5 is the absolutely huge discount I got on two, new, D4s's. Paid 15% more than a single D5 for both of them. Horses for courses though, the D4s just suited what I needed for the shoots I'm using them for, especially at the pricepoint I got them for.
+Alex Alexander Yeah, the D4s continues to be (almost) as great a camera at everything the D5 is good at, and at barely more than half the price, it's by far a better value.
+Alex Alexander I'm with you, Alex...I just picked up 2. The D4s is a proven commodity. Let's see what the D5 is like in 6-12 months
+Tony Northrup Couldn't agree more, Tony. So far anyway, as I've only used them twice, but I'm happy with the results I'm getting. Also, Nikon Pro magazine has confirmed a firmware update is coming in June for the 4k recording time limit. It's going to allow the full 29m 59s but will split the file into 4gb chunks.
Hai Tony ,... I want to ask you Is D4s good for landscape photography ? Thanks
Best D5 review ever. Finally... Thanks Northrups for the honesty. Thats why we like you.
really? where is a review it is bash d5 against d810 d 3 d4 d5 d6 all mostly sports cameras
A great review.
i love my d810 for wildlife. wasn't sure whether to spring for the d5. worried i would be disappointed with lower mp and with your recommendation to get the d810 instead for pure image quality. i have now got the D5 and have done extensive testing. the end result is that yes the d810 can produce the sharpest image of the whole day if the light is right and you catch the focus but the number of keepers is about a 10:1 ratio between the D5 and the D810 due to iso and focus limitations of d810. i shot hawks in flight all morning with d5, 600f4 and 1.4 TC, briefly switched to the d810 as a test and did not get one image that had acceptable noise and perfect focus. I am very pleased i got the D5. if i am shooting a landscape or something static at base iso i will still use the d810 still.
You should try the D500. We've don't currently recommend the D810 for wildlife.
How much wildlife did you disturb in the process?! Faster frame-rate, doesn't necessary mean ethical photography; especially when you're out shooting wildlife. If you're serious about Wildlife photography, not a single picture is worth the disturbance to get the "perfect" shot. I don't care how fast the FPS is.
@Tony & Chelsea Northrup
Why must photographers in general say so much nonsense? "shutter speed" (as if it is the least relevant in photography) "lens speed" (as if speed of a objective is the least relevant in photography). "Lens" when you really mean objective. 9:47 "D7200 is buffering already", no it's not. It is buffering all the time. What you heard (when the frequency went down) is when the buffer ran full. Why must photographers in general say so much complete nonsense? Is it because you slept through all the science classes and don't have the faintest clue? No, it's not, becuase you could still stfu and not talk about something you don't have the faintest clue. It is embarrassing listening to for intelligent people. Are we outside your target group?
But if you are ethical it helps a great deal.
+Tony Northrup In which camera body and lens have you shot this video?! The background blur was just stunning.!
Do i need a hotshot cover in the rain for my d500 so it is completely weather sealed?
Very helpful. I love the D5.
For wildlife and sport: I love my Canon 1D Mark IV. I know its not a high pixel shooter, but its a little sharper than my 1D Mark III. Always great auto focus and a all day battery.
And you can get it used at a reasonable price.
Hi, i need some suggestions,. Best dslr under 550$. I've heard the nikon d5300 is good, but still need help!!
Perfect review, impressive!
Love the Commentary at the End!
Mr Tony.. i wuild to ask about night out door sport shouting ..what the best setting you can set with Nikon D5
I'm surprised at the differences in colour palette between the D810 and D5. Chelsea's skin and skin tones look much better on the D810 in your portrait shoot. Is this down to different profiles used in Lightroom or just something that you observed in use? Great review guys. Really enjoyed. Thanks for all the hard work on this.
Hi Tony and Chelsea. I bought a D5, $2400 Canadian 55,000 shutter counts. :) Love it, it is so ergonomic
I'm looking forward to the D500 review. A D810 and D500 backup might be possible.
exelent work, congrat
What do you think about D810 and D500 as Body for Sport and Low Light?
Good stuff guys!
I truly appreciate the review. Great information, as usual. I'm not sure I get the point of comparing a D5 to D810. They are designed for completely different tasks. I wouldn't buy a Ferrari to haul a trailer full of sugar beets nor a Mack Truck to do 0-60 in 3 seconds. Both are extremely capable of doing what they are designed to accomplish -- and it's clearly not the same thing. The D5 is a sports camera; pure and simple and it needs to be evaluated against its peers in that category. Loved the review. Looking forward to the head-to-head D5 Cannon 1DX II comparison, and perhaps a value-for-money comparison between the D5 and D500. Great work.
Do you think there would be an upgrade to the D810.. say like D850 with the marginal increase in Megapixel with similar sensor and autofocus technology of the D5..and may give say 8fps... a true successor to the D700. That would be a great camera for landscape, portrait and wildlife/sports...
Peter Bucek I noticed the shitty 18-55mm kit lens that came with the Canon M3 does something similar; the center of the frame gets way more blur which diminishes a bit as you get to the corners. Gives a trippy tunnel-like bokeh. Peculiar.
Your reviews are the best! Cant wait to see your D500 review. It would be even better if you could compare the image quality of d500 to D810 actually.
+TEGRAUS The review should be up today or tomorrow. We did compare the D500 to the D810, and the D810 has much better image quality, as you'd expect.
I'm looking for a camera that has 30mp or more, HD video recording with slow motion capture along with a minimum of 20mins recording time per session. 10 or more FPS. Dual high capacity transfer rated memory card slots. A high buffer capacity to assist with FPS and a swivel / tilt LCD touchscreen. Any ideas?
Great review. My solution to the high price is RENT when needed which is what I do when I shoot a World Cup Freestyle event in the winter under artificial lights
awesome video
Hey guys, what camera were you filming the scene at 2:00 on? It has some very weird focus hunting artifacts in the building behind Chelsea while she remains relatively in focus. Rather weird! :P
