More Nikon D5 details: “killer AF”

By [NR] admin | Published: December 21, 2015

Nikon-D5-camera-rumors
I was told that one of the main improvement in the Nikon D5 camera will be the new “killer AF” – it will be much better than anything else available today. Here are few new D5 specs:

  • There is a possibility for two different D5 models – one with double CF and another with double XQD memory cards (this is probably why I was initially getting conflicting reports on the memory cards)
  • ISO during video up to 102,400
  • Touch screen (not sure)
  • No built-in Wi-Fi, but there will be an optional wireless adapter
  • I have a potential announcement date of January 12th, but this is after the CES show so I am not sure about that either
