Nikon D4 vs. D5 high ISO comparison, NEF samples available for download

By [NR] admin | Published: March 28, 2016

Some more Nikon D5 sample photos (both JPG & NEF) as many readers already have the D5 in their hands:

First, Ole Liodden updated his Nikon D5 review and he is “shocked”:

“Today I installed the new Lightroom and Camera RAW software supporting the Nikon D5 camera and I could finally view the NEF-files from the beta testing September-November 2015, and I’m shocked. The image quality at ISO 32 000 is not as stated below only “promising” but very, very good. The sharpness and low noise at ISO 25 000+ is better than I could see in the jpg-files. The test report below was written in mid January when I only could view the JPG-files. All exposures were done in NEF + jpg format.”

Next is a Nikon D4 vs. Nikon D5 high ISO comparison from www.dragosstoica.ro. The full resolution samples are available on flickr, the NEF files can be downloaded here.
