[QUOTE="Vincent, post: 523789, member: 15675"] Via Nikon rumors I came to this review: [url=http://oleliodden.com/photo-gear/field-reviews/beta-test-report-nikon-d5/]Beta test report Nikon D5 - OLE J LIODDEN[/url] It did not really help me. The main D5 improvements are ISO preformance and AF tracking. For the author the D4s was usable for high quality print around 4000-5000 ISO and the D5 at 12800 ISO. A 1,5 step improvement he states. My question here is mainly what will the D500 deliver on ISO, 1,5 time improvement compared to the D7200 seems already a good preformance. The ISO of the D5 from the comments is on Sony A7s level, but with a different resolution and AF performance that really will be a super wildlife camera. The reviewer also is successfully using a TC2 with a 600mm f4, since I have both I do not need a crop factor to have incredible reach. But this kind of set up also demands a super technique and high ISO to keep the shutter speed high enough. The decision to want a D5 was mainly since when I looked into AF preformance it became clear the D750 is less perfomant then the D4s, so why not wait for the D5 and have a real high performance AF. The issue now is that Nikon delivered, but not only in the D5, also in the D500. The D500 buffer + AF is really more on my level, with the smaller body, the only fear is the ISO on the DX sensor. I see the need for more fps in the future, but at the moment 3fps never let me down. The final chapter: Money. I will not buy a D5 new, it will probably be 3 years old with something like 80000 clicks. It had planned to buy it at the D6 release, when the market will be full of D5s bodies second hand. A D500 will be less then that and more available, even possible new. Conclusion for my use, D5 compared to D500: + ISO, and to a lesser extend weather sealing - Price and size of body [/QUOTE]
