The Nikon D5 is the company's flagship action-oriented DSLR, sporting a 20.8MP full frame sensor, 153 point autofocus system and a full-size, double grip chassis that is both tough as nails and exceedingly comfortable to use. Though the core build of this camera remains very similar to the D4S, the sensor and autofocus system are entirely new and as we'd expect designed with speed and reliability in mind.
Nikon isn't shipping these until March 2016, so no one really knows because Nikon's still finishing the design.

Disheartening is that the same horrible Custom Settings Bank system has not yet been replaced with any real way to save and recall camera settings immediately, and the scariest thing is that Nikon moved the critical MODE button to the left side of the camera, making what used to be the MODE button now the ISO button. I expect we will be able to reprogram these, but if not, I'll be darned if I'll have to use a second hand to swap between Program and Aperture Priority and Manual modes.
ISOs and resolution ratings haven't been relevant since about 2007, so don't get hung up on any of that. All that matters is how hot and fast is the AF system and how quickly we can set the camera. With no instant save and recall ability, resetting the camera from one type of shot or from gig to gig becomes much more of a pain than it is on a D750.
In summary, the D5 is a camera that will be lusted over by a lot of enthusiasts, but largely abused by its intended customer base - working professionals. These photographers will simply pick it up, do their best to re-assign all their buttons the way they had re-assigned them on their D4S's, and get to work. For long-time sports shooters and wedding photographers, a more comprehensive rethink and redesign of cameras like this would probably not go over well.
Instead, the evolving Dx line continually provides meaningful updates that will make it easier for established pros to capture images that they already know how to take. In this vein, the D5 is indeed a worthy upgrade and successor to the D4S for a number of reasons. So without further ado, let's take a closer look to find out why.
We used a Nikon D4 for around a year after its release in 2012, so became very familiar with that camera and what it could do. The D5, by comparison, is a similar experience - but it's amped things up in a variety of departments. Not just in terms of sensor, speed and autofocus, but design too.
The D5's new body doesn't look especially "new" at first glance, it's more about subtle tweaks for the better. Dual joysticks - which are arranged for both portrait and landscape orientation - adopt a more textured finish than before, which is great for wet or gloved fingers when making focus point adjustments while looking through the finder.
