Today I was covering The Citadel’s Recognition Day for the class of 2019. I love the Nikon D5 for covering events.

I was just blown away by the quality of higher ISOs for just simple event photography. The colors look great at ISO 16000 in this photo. And the noise is very acceptable for this type of photography.

I enjoyed shooting with ISO 32000 for people just sitting around a table.

However, I enjoyed shooting at 1/4000 and nailing the razor-sharp photos due to eliminating the camera movement.

I was also enjoying the dynamic range of the files as well.

The files are a significant improvement over the Nikon D4. The Nikon D5 has a 20-megapixel camera, and the Nikon D4 is a 16-megapixel camera.

Hopefully, these are just a taste of what the camera does. I hope to continue to understand more of its capabilities and how they can help me do things not possible before with the Nikon D4.
