An Event Photographer’s Brief Review of the Nikon D5 by Robert Allen (website | Facebook | Instagram):

This is my first formal review of a camera body. The information in this review is based on using the Nikon D5 for a period of approximately 6 months during 2018.


Brides maids during ceremony. Nikon D5, 70-200mm f/4 lens, ISO 180.
