One of the most advanced SLR cameras available today, the Nikon F5 features an autofocus with five highly-sensitive sensors that will keep up with subjects at a stunning 8 frames per second. The light meter, the first in-camera meter with color sensitivity, divides the frame into 1005 discrete units. It then analyzes the light and color patterns and compares them against thousands of images that have been programmed into the camera's on board memory. Users can adjust the size of the center weighted metering area from 8mm to 20mm for more accurate small area metering. Exposure control is controlled further via EV compensation, AF and AE lock controls, four exposure control systems, full manual control and automatic balanced fill flash that can be set in increments. A wide array of backs, viewfinders and other accessories make this the most advanced camera in the Nikon system.

Pros: Superb tool for the professional and serious amateur photographer, a solid performer under any conditions
Cons: It is a heavy lump of metal, particularly when matched to heavy glass
Bottom Line:
If Nikon ever bring out an F6, the F5 will remain one of the best camera bodies ever made. An F6 would probably be computerized overkill! Read More
