Nikon D5 - Now a full s35 4K DSLR

[Guest Ebrahim Saadawi]

Nikon released a new firmware update extending the UHD recording  from the 3 minutes limit to normal 30minutes. 

The camera records UHD from the 20mp sensor crop, equal to a s35 crop. Same as the 1DXII approach. 

Now I am interested in the camera vs the 1DC/1DXII especially regarding the image dynamic range and colours. 

Note that the D5 also has a UHD 422 output off the HDMI output, clean. So with a recorder makes a better codec solution than 1dc/x (ProRes UHD 422).

Does it have fast and accurate continuous autofocus, which is the 1dx II's best and most important feature?

NO

Sounds interesting. Personally I couldn't care less about AF. So the question for me is all about the DR at this point.

So you know about firmware updates but not about your password?
