[QUOTE="Vincent, post: 523169, member: 15675"] Still the original question remains valid: I actually think the D5 vs D500 is a good example of FX vs DX. Based on this (just seems to be a sales pitch to me): [url=http://nikonrumors.com/2016/01/08/nikon-d500-specifications-and-features-explained-confidential-nikon-internal-document.aspx/]Nikon D500 specifications and features explained (confidential Nikon internal document) | Nikon Rumors[/url] D5 and D500 same technology. - size of sensor + body smaller for D500 --D500 in DX format, for high end user needing superior agility and telephoto shooting. --D500 lower ISO range due to smaller pixel pitch --AF points cover different area --Viewfinder coverage different (D5 covers more space, but D500 covers 100% of its sensor) - weather protection --D5 is monocoque, D500 is adopted body? --Tilting LCD only on D500 - D5 has 400000 cycles, D500 is adapted DX shutter up to 200000 - D500 has extra vibration reduction, Active D-Lighting, snapbridge extra - Battery: D5 3780 pictures, 1240 for D500 Important no difference in technology processor of AF module. (e.g. some D500 body dimensions are bigger then the D750 to fit the module). Limitation on the Mp to assure the fps and ISO can be high. -- 10 fps and 12 fps are a bit of a mystery, same processor and same Mp to same card format (XQD fastest): is the Expeed5 running on lower clock speed in the D500? -- It would be normal that the high quality (reject rate) rated Expeed5 batches will be used exclusively for the D5 and that lower acceptable batches might go to the D500. D500 has other video programming allowing longer 4K recording??? [/QUOTE]
