Development of Digital SLR Camera Nikon D5

November 18, 2015, TOKYO – Nikon Corporation is pleased to announce that it is developing the Nikon D5 digital SLR camera, which represents the next generation of professional Nikon FX-format models.

The new Wireless Transmitter WT-6 and Speedlight SB-5000, which will be positioned at the top of Nikon’s Speedlight lineup, are also being developed.

Through the combination of this next-generation professional camera offering an even higher level of performance, these advanced accessories and the rich lineup of existing NIKKOR lenses, Nikon is pursuing further possibilities for imaging expression.

*Details including release date and suggested retail price for this product have not yet been determined.

No official Product image has been provided in the announcement but we expect it to be similar to the Nikon D4s Body.

It’s unclear as to where exactly they are in the development process as many companies announce ‘in development’ products right at the beginning of the starting process. We understand it’s supposed to get people excited but it’s still kind of a lack luster ‘announcement’ in our opinion and now, it’ll be less of a surprise when it does arrive (may be they will announce D400 along with it as a surprise).

It would be interesting to see how much more Nikon D5 can push the limits. Also expect a price drop on Nikon D4.

  1. NIKON D5
    I AM.. EXITED!

    Video 4K that’s not where I am waiting for, better no video feature but a big price drop!
    Build in Image Stabilisation would be very nice.
    High ISO and low noise is the most important thing for me, but when the Nikon D5 has more MP than its almost impossible, or Nikon got a very big surprise developed.
    I guess 20 to max 24 MP.
    Maybe more dynamic in the bl/w range.

    And I think the price would be 5999 USD.

    Just lets wait and see 🙂
