Nikon D5 rocks...

            I've had a chance to play with my new Nikon D5 today, and I can assure you that it "rocks"....

These images were shot at a relatively high ISO (3200) in contrasty light conditions. I used a 600/4mm lens complete with a TC 14E111 (teleconverter) set at F11, shutter speed  1/6400 sec, in Tiff mode.

I chose Tiff mode to see how fast my buffer would fill at 14 frames per second. It didn't buffer out!!! (I also wasn't sure if there was an Adobe Camera Raw plug-in filter available yet as well).

Detail was amazing in both the darks and light areas. Images were not saturated or sharpened before posting.

Since I do a lot of bird in flight images, one of my motives in upgrading was the camera's ability to record at high ISO. Since most of my bird in flight images are shot at 1600 ISO, F6.7 to F7.1 at shutter speeds around 1/2500th of a second, I wanted the ability to shoot at 3200 ISO or higher, get my shutter speed up to +5000 second or more, F8-F11 as my F-stop (greater depth of field and less wing blur). There is no doubt that the D5 is capable of the task. More to follow on the D5...
