Nikon's flagship full-frame DSLR with 20.8MP sensor, 153-point AF, and 12fps burst — built for professional sports.

The Nikon D5 was released in January 2016 as Nikon's professional flagship DSLR, featuring a 20.8MP FX CMOS sensor and the Multi-CAM 20K AF system with 153 focus points (99 cross-type). 12fps continuous shooting is available at full resolution. 4K/30fps video records with a 1.5x crop. Available in two card slot configurations: XQD+XQD or CF+CF. At approximately 1,405g with battery and card it represents the professional sports and news photography benchmark for Nikon.

The 20.8MP FX CMOS sensor pairs with dual EXPEED 5 processors. The 153-point AF system provides 99 cross-type points. Burst shooting runs at 12fps (14fps with AE lock). 4K/30fps records with a 1.5x crop. EN-EL18a battery provides approximately 3,780 shots. Body weight approximately 1,405g with battery and card. Dual card slots — XQD or CF depending on the purchased version.

The Multi-CAM 20K's 99 cross-type points covering approximately 59% of the frame is the D5's professional tracking capability: cross-type sensors acquire both horizontal and vertical contrast for more reliable subject lock versus single-axis sensors. The EN-EL18a's ~3,780-shot capacity reflects the professional design for all-day event and sports coverage without recharge. The XQD and CF variants have identical image quality — card slot type is the primary differentiator.

On the used market the Nikon D5 is affordable for a professional flagship DSLR. Condition checks: shutter count via EXIF (rated 400,000 actuations), card slot contacts, EN-EL18a battery health — shared with D4S and D6 — and weather sealing. Confirm the card slot version (XQD or CF) before purchase to align with your card inventory. Compatible with all Nikon F-mount lenses.
