    Made for the professional photographer, the Nikon D5 FX-Format Dual CompactFlash Digital SLR Camera - Body Only is an indispensable piece of equipment that captures photos and videos with immense speed and precision. It is equipped with a 20.8 MP FX-Format CMOS sensor that works in conjunction with the EXPEED 5 image processor for an impressive mixture of high sensitivity, a sharper image quality, and an amazing overall performance. The 153-Point Multi-CAM 20 K autofocus system is useful for providing a greater compositional freedom and an improved subject recognition. The 3D Color Matrix Metering III, along with the intelligent Scene Recognition System uses an 180,000-pixel RGB sensor for analyzing and evaluating various aspects within a scene, such as brightness, contrast, scene colors and the subject distance. This instantly determines the white balance and accurate exposure setting for rendering the scene at hand.

    Optics and Focus

    The D5 FX-Format Dual CompactFlash Digital SLR camera from Nikon is made to be used with all Nikon F-mount lenses that have outstanding apertures and focal lengths. The 153-Point Multi-CAM 20 K autofocus system is useful for providing a greater compositional freedom and an improved subject recognition. The camera's ISO sensitivity ranges from 50 to 3280000, while the shutter speed ranges from 30 seconds to 1/8000 of a second. The vast array of White Balance and exposure modes are essential for a wide range of photography situations.

    Sensor and Screen

    The Nikon D5 FX-Format Dual CompactFlash Digital SLR camera is equipped with a 20.8 MP FX-Format CMOS sensor that works in conjunction with the EXPEED 5 image processor for an impressive mixture of high sensitivity, a sharper image quality, and an amazing overall performance.
