[QUOTE="pforsell, post: 521959, member: 7240"] Which ones of you guys have decided to get the new D5? I will skip it and wait for D5s, and below is my rationalisation: I have become extremely wary about the version-1.0 releases from Nikon. Their track record hasn't been stellar lately. OTOH I never got the first edition of a Nikon body. I skipped D1 but later on got D1H and D1x (x2). Same with D2H, I skipped it but got D2x and D2Hs (which was so noisy I replaced it with another D1H). Same story goes on with the next generation: I got both facelift models D3s and D3x, which are still running perfectly and never had a hiccup. Ditto for D4, I skipped it and got the D4s two years ago. What a camera! I will do the same again and wait till D5s comes out. All these facelifts have always come with a variety of improvements, like firmware tweaks, bigger buffer, new added features, new sensor, faster frame rate, better ISO, better metering, faster CF card write speed and so on. And no factory recall ever. Not once. And the reliability is spectacular. All four of my 1st gen facelift Nikons (2x D1H + 2x D1x) are still running smoothly, after 15 years. I expect no less from the later ones. One weird omission in D5 is that it lacks 4K/60fps video, and I'm confident the D5s will address this. I am not sneering at the possibility of 8 megapixel images @ 60 fps, while I'm not interested in video as such. And perhaps D5s will come with ISO 6.4 million LOL. ;) ;) [/QUOTE]
