I want to preface this by saying that I am only going to show off one noise test that was photographed in my apartment against a wall – every other image will be on location, in various types of light, at various ISOs. This is very important because I’m not reviewing it based off of a chart or numbers from a chart, I’m reviewing it based off real-world use as a wedding, event, and portrait photographer. I also wanted to add that no video features will be reviewed, mainly because I'm a photographer and has no interest in video.

While the D5 and the D750 are most definitely not in the same ballpark in terms of price and overall level (Nikon categorizes the D750 as enthusiast level and the D5 as pro level), I’m mostly comparing the two for any photographers that are on the fence about whether they should trade in their D750 for a D5 or add a D5 to their arsenal.

That being said, here are my thoughts after 4 weeks of continuous use - enjoy!
