Nikon's last great DSLR flagship: D5 diagnostics

Nikon D5 (2016) is the final professional reportage flagship in the Nikon DSLR line. They were the ones who filmed the final matches of the World Cup, the Olympic Games in Rio and Tokyo. A 20.8-megapixel sensor with ISO 3,280,000, 12 fps, 153 AF points and incredible reliability have made the D5 the latest machine gun in the Nikon DSLR world. By buying it on the secondary market, you are working with equipment with a guaranteed rich history.

Professional photographers have pushed the D5 to its limits. News agencies could take hundreds of thousands of shots a year on it. It is characteristic that the 12-fps mode made it possible to “shoot” even one second of action into 12 frames. The numbers in the counter for “agent” copies can be astronomical.

400,000 operations and phenomenal reliability D5

Nikon confirmed for the D5 a resource of 400,000 guaranteed operations - the best result in the history of reportage DSLRs. The mechanism operates at temperatures from -10°C to +40°C and withstands shock and vibration in reporting conditions. Real cases of D5 shutters operating at 600,000 frames are well known in the professional community. D5 with a mileage of up to 250 thousand is a “young” flagship with a huge reserve.
