• Used Nikon D5 Body Only Dual CF Slots Version S/N 7500241

This well-used pre-owned Used Nikon D5 Body Only Dual CF Slots Version S/N 7500241 was the flagship model in Nikon's DSLR lineup at its release. The D5 was a fast, exact machine for professional photographers. Revolving around a full-frame, FX-format 20.8MP CMOS sensor and EXPEED 5 image processor, this workhorse touts an impressive 12 fps continuous shooting rate with full-time AF and AE. This expandable sensitivity range extends to ISO 3280000, and 4K UHD video recording is available at 30 fps. Matching its imaging versatility, the Nikon D5 is also characterised by its redeveloped Multi-CAM 20K 153-point AF system, which incorporates 99 cross-type sensors for greater precision when tracking moving subjects or working in challenging lighting conditions. This model features dual CF memory card slots for versatile file handling during shooting, and a range of selectable raw file sizes for output requirements. Designed to keep up with the fastest subjects and handle the most challenging working conditions, the Nikon D5 is an advanced DSLR well-suited to the most extreme multimedia workflows.

Echoing the robust imaging capabilities, the D5 is equally refined in its handling and physical design. A rear 3.2" 2.36m-dot touchscreen LCD monitor affords clean, clear playback, live view shooting, and intuitive means for navigating the menu system. The camera chassis is constructed from magnesium alloy and is dust- and weather-sealed to enable working in the harshest environments. Additionally, lending an air of familiarity to the design, a set of configurable Function buttons is available across the body, and an integrated vertical grip supports both horizontal and vertical shooting orientations.
20.8MP FX-Format CMOS Sensor and EXPEED 5 Image Processor.

The FX-format 20.8MP CMOS sensor pairs with the EXPEED 5 image processor to deliver high sensitivity, nuanced image quality, and fast overall performance. At native values, a sensitivity range from ISO 100-102400 allows working in a broad array of lighting conditions, and it can be further expanded to ISO 50-3280000 (Lo 1 to Hi 5) to handle the most challenging situations. The combination of resolution and sensor size also contributes to clean image quality and smooth colour transitions, with reduced noise throughout the sensitivity range.

In addition to improving image quality, the EXPEED 5 processor delivers high speed throughout the camera system, including a top continuous shooting rate of 14 fps with the mirror up or 12 fps with full-time autofocus and auto-exposure control. At 12 fps, up to 200 frames can be recorded in a single burst, even when shooting 14-bit lossless-compressed NEF files. The redeveloped sequencer and mirror-drive mechanisms enable this speed and ensure consistent, accurate exposure and a more stable viewfinder image.

153-Point Multi-CAM 20K Autofocus System

The apt Multi-CAM 20K AF system matches the speed and imaging capabilities. It features 153 total phase-detection points, including 99 cross-type sensors for improved subject recognition. 55 of the points are selectable for greater compositional freedom. Benefitting super telephoto lenses and teleconverters, 15 points, including nine selectable points, are compatible with an effective aperture of f/8. All 153 points support working with effective apertures of f/5.6 or brighter.

Complementing the abundance of focusing points is a dedicated AF engine that delivers quick response times to track fast, randomly moving subjects, even at the top 12 fps shooting rate. The AF engine also enhances focusing sensitivity, with all points capable of focusing at -3 EV and the centre point capable of reading at -4 EV, enabling accurate focus in very dark, low-contrast situations.

Furthering the versatility of the focusing system, seven different AF-area modes can be selected to support varying types of subject matter:

Single-Point AF: The camera uses a single point to find focus.

Dynamic-Area AF: Available with 25, 72, or 153-point selections, this mode uses a primary single focus point to lock onto focus, then uses the surrounding facts to maintain focus while tracking erratically moving subjects.

Group-Area AF: This mode aggregates smaller groups of AF points into a single point to provide a wider recognition field and is well-suited for tracking faces or other detailed subjects.

3D-Tracking: Using a subject's colour information, this mode uses all 153 points to track a moving subject while half-pressing the shutter button.

Auto-Area AF: This mode uses all 153 points to identify the main subject quickly and prioritises recognised faces as portrait subjects in any AF servo mode.

In addition to the range of AF-area modes, an AF lock-on function can improve subject-tracking performance. It can be adjusted by two parameters: quick or delayed blocked shot AF response and erratic or steady subject movement. AF performance can be optimised by configuring these settings to handle various subject movement types.

Lastly, a unique auto AF fine-tune function can be used to ensure optimal focus for each mounted lens. Rather than relying on photographing distance charts, this function lets you manually achieve precise focus in live view and then have the AF system calibrate itself to the fine-tuned focus position to alleviate front- and back-focusing issues.

4K UHD Video Recording

The D5 is more than a still camera, considering multimedia image-maker's needs. Capable of recording 4K UHD video (3840 x 2160) at 30, 25, and 24 fps, Full HD and HD recording is also supported, and movie files can be saved to in-camera memory cards or to an optional external recorder via HDMI out as uncompressed files. For maintained quality and versatility in how your movies look, four image area options are available:

The FX-based movie image format uses the entire sensor width to record Full HD 1920 x 1080 and HD 1280 x 720 video. This setting is well-suited to shallow depth-of-field effects and offers the widest field of view.

The 4K UHD movie image format is roughly equivalent to a DX crop of the full-frame sensor, resulting in a 1.5x increase in the effective focal length of the lens in use. This area is reserved for 4K 3840 x 2160 recording.

The DX-based movie image format is a 1.5x crop of the full-frame sensor used to record Full HD and HD video.

The 1920 x 1080 crop movie image format is the smallest recording area, offering roughly a 3x increase in the lens's effective focal length to achieve narrower fields of view.

As with still shooting, a wide range of sensitivities is available for recording in low and bright-light conditions, ranging from expanded ISO 100 to 3280000. Sensitivity values can be manually adjusted in the dedicated movie-shooting menu. Also, a video-optimised Flat Picture Control mode can be used during recording to flatten the overall contrast curve, providing greater control in post-production and colour grading.

For handling, a dedicated power aperture button (Pv) enables smooth, continuous exposure transitions when switching between light and dark areas. Auto ISO can also maintain consistent brightness in changing light conditions. Audio can be recorded using the built-in stereo microphone, or an optional external mic can be connected via the 3.5mm stereo jack for greater control over audio quality. Whether using the in-camera mic or an external mic, audio levels can be adjusted in 20 increments. Live monitoring is available via the headphone jack, with 30 volume levels for playback.

In addition to straight movie recording, time-lapse recording, for up to 9999 consecutive frames shot over up to one week, is also possible with up to 4K UHD/30p output from the camera.
