News & Reviews:   Nikon D5

This week Computex started but for most of us, ASUS stole the show with their Zenvolution, announcing the ASUS ZenFone 3 Deluxe, ZenFone 3 and ZenFone 3 Ultra. ASUS didn't stop there and also announced their ASUS Transformer 3 2-in-1 laptops and the ASUS ZenBook 3 but their biggest news turned out to be their ZenBo personal robot. Huawei Malaysia started the sale of their Huawei P9 and P9 Lite and subsequently announced the price and release date for the much awaited Huawei P9 Plus and more.

After a long wait, Malaysian fans and customers can now get their hands on Nikon's latest and greatest flagship DSLR for their FX (Full frame) and DX (cropped) mounts – the Nikon D5 and D500 respectably. The two bodies represents the best Nikon technology right now, and it can be yours from RM 8288.

Nikon has announced not one but two new cameras at the CES 2016, the Nikon D5 and the Nikon D500. Both cameras are to be released in March on American soil and each body will cost $6500 (around RM28366) and $2000 (around RM8728) respectively.

Built for speed and accuracy, the Nikon D5 built features 153-point AF system to assist covering on an extremely wide focus area. It’s also equipped with a 20.8MP sensor, a 12 fps continuous shooting and an EXPEED 5 image processor. What’s more, the D5 is able to shoot 4K UHD video and reach up to 3280000 ISO sensitivity. To date, this is probably Nikon’s most powerful camera and the company claims it’s capable of creating “true to life masterpieces.” 

Just last month, we reported that the Nikon Corporation are developing a new professional FX-format D5 camera, and now we have a sneak peek on some new leaked photos online which you can see in this article.

It was also revealed that Nikon is also developing a new Wireless Transmitter WT-6 and Speedlight SB-5000, which could potentially be included in the new D5 camera. We should also expect a 4K video recording feature, 15fps shooting, 173 AF points, a native ISO of 102400 and a new 20MP FX sensor.
