A former flagship model in Nikon’s DSLR lineup, the D5 comes with the advanced features and bomb-proof build quality that professional action, sports and wildlife photographers expect in order to shoot the fastest and most unpredictable of subjects in the harshest of environments. Although 12fps is no longer considered rapid by today’s standards, the D5’s 153-point autofocus system with 99 sensitive cross-type points is extremely capable and a large 200-shot raw buffer capacity sees it shoot for long periods without interruption. Faster continuous shooting at up to 14fps, faster ethernet communication and wider autofocus coverage are a few reasons to consider its successor, the Nikon D6.

The Nikon D850 isn’t only a master of resolution; it’s a fast performer that delivers a low-light performance that’ll leave users in awe of its back-illuminated sensor. We regard it as it the finest full-frame DSLR Nikon has ever made. Not only is its body seemingly indestructible, it can be used to photograph virtually any subject or situation and return images that exceed the most demanding of professionals expectations. It’s more cumbersome than mirrorless alternatives and requires the MB-D18 battery grip to shoot at up to 9fps, but its larger body accepts a long-lasting battery (capable of 1840 shots or 70 minutes of video) and allows buttons to be spread out without feeling cramped.

The D780 gives you everything you’d expect from a pro-calibre DSLR, and then some. A clear view, a long battery life, a tough build, plus two fast, reliable AF systems, phenomenal tracking, wide ISO range, and more. Full-frame FX mount.
