Nikon D5 reviews

Maybe they like it so much they're out taking pictures.
Maybe they hate it so much they returned it.
Maybe this level of camera is bought by pro photographers that have to shoot for a living and don't have much time to write reviews.

I own a 1dx and 5dsr and i think after using it for a week i could spare 1 hour to write a review or make a youtube video. The issue is that all the people who review cameras all the time are practically silent.
No one is talking about this camera and it is very odd.

One thing I'm noticing in the accounts that I've read so far is that automatic AF fine tune appears unreliable - Thom talks a lot about it, and a couple of other write-ups I came across also mention that it can give a wide range of correction values when the calibration is repeated for a given lens. This is a pity - I was hoping A-AFFT would be a runaway success, such that other manufacturers would be compelled to include their own version on their cameras.

They will, but unlike Nikon or Sony they will wait until the feature is reliable and worthwhile before releasing it, especially in their 'pro' models.
Just look at the farcical spec numbers for the D5, iso over 3,000,000, but native a mere one stop or so above the 1DX. 4k, but only for three minutes and not DCI; automatic AF fine tune, but it is unreliable; DR substantially lower than the D4s at low iso (no they are not all used at 6,400 iso and above all the time) for a 'trade' of less than 1/2 stop improvement at higher iso's.
If ever there was a camera trying to get fobbed off on a user base by snake oil salesmen marketers the D5 is it.

I think I read that Nikon was going to release a firmware update to make the 4K shooting time same as the D500.
Edit - found this on NR site
"Update: the 30 min 4k video in the D5 will probably be achieved by recording 10 sequential files @ 3 minutes each."
But yeah you're absolutely right about the other stuff. If this camera was living up to the hype we'd have heard by now. I have a feeling there are some disappointed pros out there scratching their heads but since they're pros and have invested so much they'll deal with it and get the job done anyway.

Of course there are no reviews yet ! How long do you think it is going to take for reviewers to re jig the fundamental basis upon which all cameras have been judged for the past seven years ? (
