[@raredreamfootage]

You should have a channel dedicated to your real world reviews. I like your format the best. I feel I am learning a ton about your review gear as well as your shooting process. The best review execution on the web. THX!

[@mas921]

THIS is how one reviews a D5, not from an angry couch or using garbage lens to justify how a DX would be a better buy!

[@mannequindisplay]

+mas921 You must of watched the same video as saying you wasted your money if you bought the D5 over the D500. Maybe if they knew how to use this camera then the negative comments would not be so much about it. I watch some videos from a photographer and his wife that loves to shoot birds (wild life) and I wanted so much to leave a comment do you know how to use this camera in a polite way as I following a bird photographer on Facebook and his images from the D5 are fantastic compare to what he showed on the D5 .. I really think it comes down to the user and I jumped off the DX format since the D300 and went Full Frame why do I want to go back... what is the reason?

[@mas921]

+james .mannequindisplay yup exactly! THAT video of a "photographer and his wife". I agree it depends on the user, for myself I would get the D500 as I prefer the smaller and lighter weight and most importantly am a Hobbiest (i do not get paid for my pics). besides the d500 now is closing the gap between FX and DX in ISO noise. With same AF as D5, and enough FPS but lighter and 1.5x reach, it makes sense to jump back into DX!

[@valtteribhaskar5874]

+mas921 d500 due to size and weight for me.

[@highgroundproductions8590]

mas921 Get the D750. An AWESOME FX camera, even cheaper than D500, high ISO performance equal or greater than D500. Better AF than the D810. FX is better, and the FX camera most people should get is the D750.

[@highgroundproductions8590]

Valtteri bhaskar get the D750,

[@FrederickDunn]

Hi Jared! Thank you for doing this real world review... I love my D5! How do you answer a man like Jason Lanier who now says that any "real pro" will be using Sony and people like you and me are just plain "in denial about what the best camera in the world is"? He claims that he out shoots pros at the NFL etc... Do you have an opinion on that? I know it boils down to personal preference. Btw, if you get the CF card version, which I did, Nikon says you can have that module swapped out later on if you want XQD. Oh, have to edit/add... the PRINTS look absolutely FANTASTIC!!!!

[@froknowsphoto]

+Frederick Dunn never heard of that guy. Who gives a shit what someone shoots with, if you get the shot you get the shot. But Sony doesn't have the glass just yet now do they. So a little sour grapes or hurt butt.

That was a tremendous review, Jared, and very much appreciated by all of us. I hope you get to do a similar review with the Canon EOS 1DX II as it will be very interesting to compare the two.The Nikon D5 really impresses, but I am glad it brought me back down to earth with image noise. I thought there would be absolutely zero noise at ISO 6400 (it does go into the ISO millions, after all) and there is almost as much as on cheaper consumer cameras. That makes me feel a lot better about my cameras now LOL.Even still, amazing camera and tremendously fast at everything it does. One other passing comment is that I have seen your photography skills grow and grow over a period and that's very impressive too!

[@froknowsphoto]

[@Scarebus_Driver]

Really enjoy your videos Jarod! With the AF settings I would seriously try letting the camera use its own brain. One thing we learnt going from 1DMk4 to 1DX was the AF system is different and simply better and takes some "unlearning" so you don't bring old ideas to new technology. The 1Dx simply doesn't miss in auto point selection using the multi points around to refine its tracking solution. Looks like Nikon have learnt that and employed it on the D5. Anyway great reviews and looking forward to seeing what you think of 14FPS..lol...great stuff.

[@ele4853]

Great job Jared! I was very exited as well when I went out to test this camera myself. I'm not a brand photographer I have Canons and Nikons, but I've got to say, Nikon really nailed this time around with the auto-focusing and the sensor, the focusing tracking is unbelievable and the noise at high ISO is awesome, not to mention the other features. The out of focus situation you were mentioning is all about DOF and of course where the sensor picked the focus, remember the big glasses have a very shallow DOF especially when fully open, shooting bodies moving at high speed and limbs all over is not an easy situation. Again, great job, and thanks for sharing! Keep up with the good work!

[@brakel8r]

Yo Fro bro...i know this is your passion, job, hobby, whatever....Your hard work is not lost. great stuff

[@leodegroot6206]

You likely answered your own question about why a very few of the images shown on your computer screen did not seem fully sharp in the face, leading you to question your technique. But you earlier indicated that the depth of field with a 600mm lens at f4 would have very shallow depth of field leading a foot focus to throw off potentially the focus on the face. I played with a depth of field calculator and the 600mm lens at f4 would have a depth of field of only 15 or so inches at what I estimate the distance to be to the player shown in your photo. So your technique is possibly fine, and the autofocus in the camera is possibly fine, but focus may have been a very small amount due to the focus point that was selected.

[@TheRyanjMain]

I'm grateful for the videos like this, I have a d7100 and can't afford the newest camera but you keep your editing open on the side and I can push my self and my gear to get the best images possible and know that even with the best camera and glass you need to bring back some images and make some pop, so many people refuse to change images on the computer at all. I'm building a portfolio and this helped me with action shots both in my camera and editing. thank you :)

[@rossmona9634]

FOCUS ISSUE> Hey Jared, I shoot sports with a Canon 300 2.8 and I think the only reason some of those areas are a little soft is because of lack of contrast in that area of the image. With so many focus points, it seems to me that the camera will focus independently on different areas of the image. Maybe like you said, a single point, or what I use is single expansion, may work better for a more consistent focal plane? Your thoughts. Rosco Australia

You mentioned there was "not much you could do about" the light changing on the player when he got close to you on the side. Why didn't you choose to go auto-iso while shooting the rest in manual? It's fantastic for situations when the light changes so quickly that you would have to constantly adjust it.

[@charlie7mason]

+Phathom Perhaps because he wanted to be in control of the ISO as he shot so he could pick and choose specific values for the test.

[@TheEstibon]

very good shoot Jared, i have heard a lot of bad reviews on this camera, but from what i can see in this real World review, the camera looks great. I will not be getting the D5 anytime soon but i am going to get it's little brother, and i think it will do all that i need, very excited about getting my hands on the D500. this review on the D5 has made me see what the camera can really do, thanks for a great review as always.

[@iSOBigD]

Is it just me or does he not use any noise removal? While I agree some noise is fine, often times when you raise the shadows the noise in the dark areas doesn't match the bright areas. With some noise removal you can basically help it a few stops while keeping any noticeable detail.

[@lescobrandon3047]

I use 3D focus tracking successfully with my D3 and all other cameras except for the D750. Lock onto a face and as long as you hold down the shutter release halfway, it will stay with the face no matter what the subject does, even if another player gets in the way. It will go to where the subject should come out and it will lock on once more. It’s a knack that has to be practiced a few times and most don’t even try it.

[@kurtweggler4880]

Nice job of providing lots of information and using the images that stand up to your tests!

[@hyjohn0620]

Excellent work Jared. Keep up the good stuff! I'm particularly impressed about the fact that you were able to push one of the ISO 10000 images and yet the image, when zoomed out, looked fine.

[@froknowsphoto]

+John Su agree, thanks!!!

[@Photojouralist123]

Dear Jared, I shoot for AFP and AP wire and I must say the images you took with your D5 are quite impressive as far as the camera is concerned . The image quality at 64k and 12k are excellent. Now the question is, it any better than a D4s that one can justify the extra cost hmm debateable. Now I would like to see do the same senirio using your new D500. Now that would be very interesting.

[@manojepl]

Excellent Jared. It is good to see the camera being tested in way it is actually meant to be used. I think the group area focus should be better for tracking the players. Also let us know what camera/s was used to shoot the video?

[@paristo]

1) "AF continious focus", not "focus tracking" as that is different function. 2) You showed about 35 frames being a lot... well it is a lot but not really negative way as 3.5 seconds is fairly short in many sports if you can't anticipate the situation. But sure, it is a lot if you can and then example E-M1 51 raw buffer hasn't really been limitation for anyone with a fast card so D5 "limitless" will not be a problem (but not a bonus either as you don't need it). 3) DSLR shooters benefits a lot from red dot sights. This is the game with a 300-800mm where RDS is the tool that brings the keepers. a good calibration and good C-AF (not tracking) and you never miss a moment. 4) For my opinion I want to thank for these reviews as you can cut the crap about "more being superior" (like saying about "better shoot video at that moment..."). And IMHO, the video lights could be set little to warmer tone than correct white balance so tonality would be a nicer.

On that note, thank you for the D500 review. I currently shoot moto and portrait photography with a D610, but truly need the auto focus speed for action. Your videos have been truly helpful and I am glad I found your channel. Oh, and yes, I SHOOT RAW!

hi Jared great review for nikon d5. can you tell which camera did you use to shoot this video?

[@goonerscalise]

Jared, these videos you make are fantastic. Thanks a lot :)

I saw you were using a Benro tripod for the video sample where you talked about he 4K UHD recording, would that happen to be the Aero 4 they sent you? If not, which is it and if it is, are you still enjoying it? I'm looking to pick up an Aero 4 myself but I've heard of people having issues with its durability; I feel like you could give some great insight as to how this tripod stacks up against the others on the market. Great video by the way, if only I had the money and was in the market for a sports camera :)

+Benjamin Tetreault We really like the benros. Not sure which one it is, maybe stephen can chime in if he's reading the comments as well.

+Jared Polin Thanks a million! I'm very excited to hear this because if the Aero 4 is all that it claims to be its the perfect tripod for me?

I am currently in the market for a used D5. I'm not a professional. I use mostly for my son's soccer and other sports he's involved in. My question is, how important is shutter count on these cameras or is it? If so, what threshold should I avoid? Love you content and i've improved my shots so much thanks to watching your videos. Peace

Don't worry. If it's ment to be, it'll be. 😉 I bought D4s with 390k clicks, nothing at all happened in one year that I've used it. This weekend was sold one D5 on German ebay with 1 million clicks. I have in plan to buy one with 396k clicks for 1250€.

Hi Jared, how do you think the D5 compares to the new Sony a9?

[@MartyWoodcock]

Just got my D5 today. Can't wait to test it out. it's a hell of an upgrade from my D5100. It'll take some time to get used to where everything is, compared to my 5100. lol. Great review Jared.

Wonderful and detailed review Jared. And especially thanks for showing kaka , I don't get to see him playing anymore :( . D5 is way out of my price range and I am more interested in the D500 anyway. Eagerly waiting for your review of the D500 before splashing the cash for it .
