The incredible story of a Nikon D5 camera forgotten in a display window



Chassimages (Google translation) posted a story on the Nikon D5 camera that was apparently forgotten in a store’s display case/window (see this post):

“The only seller is so busy store drawers behind the counter, so I must insist to make him raise his head, and asks if I can see and touch the D5. Very gently he said “yes.” Immediately I asked how it was possible that he D5 that while it is not even officially announced by Nikon announcement expected in early January. He smiles and shrugs, well that’s how! Meanwhile the housing arrives in my hands and soon I realize that it is fully functional.

I adjust the viewfinder diopter and passes in AF-C mode to see the sensors appear in the viewfinder and therefore discovers the extent and form of the covered fields. Then I ask if I can take pictures of the device with my iPhone, he answers yes no problem…”

The article include also few new pictures of the D5 taken by Chassimages forum member JML2:
