Pros: Absolutely current and performing, it is not afraid of current digital

Cons: Not having it

Opinion: Last Nikon Super Pro film, yes there is also the F6 ... But the F5 has another charm and similar performance, plus it's a tank. The advantages of this camera in 2023 are still many: 1) it is fast despite its 27 years makes many new MLs pale. 2) Possibility to mount optics is infinite as long as it has the F mount only excluding the latest optics " E " with the electronic control of the diaphragm everything else works very well even the VR, and all third-party optics. 3) Autofocus with "only" 5 points, but it is a sniper does not make mistakes unlike more modern cameras (unfortunately). 4) the viewfinder is spectacular at the highest levels is a work of art, accustomed with ML ... Looking in here is an experience. It continues to be a high-performance camera I recommend it to everyone, and returning to photograph on film is priceless is a unique experience is pure photography, without the menate of megapixels hypersuper autofocus that do what they want etc. I use it for a year and every time is a pleasure. Many are rediscovering it and in a year prices have almost doubled ...... Vote 10

Pros: Go back to the film and find it.

Cons: How do you find them flaws

Opinion: Unapproachable machine, given the high price at the end of the 90s, with a little luck you can still have well-kept specimens at affordable prices. The quality with the capital Q there is everything, it conveys the desire to photograph with an incredible feeling. I'm not hiding from you (and it happened this morning) about going out with F5 and digital and shooting more with the film.

Pros: Reliability, electronics, compatibility with AF-S G lenses

Cons: Lack of dials upright

Opinion: I was looking for an analog camera with which to take advantage of a good digital kit, in the F5 I found what I was looking for. The time distance between this technical gem and modern equipment has been felt only in terms of non-dialogue with wireless flashes (due to changing protocols) and inability to mount E-type optics: a pity since I could not fully exploit some Sigma Art optics (the diaphragm is still at the maximum opening). These last points do not represent real defects, but are simply the result of a technological advance that the manufacturer has relied on. The drag of the film is monstrous, it does not miss a beat! The electronics are non-invasive and leave room for manoeuvre for those who still want to experiment with film. You can find products at very affordable prices and I recommend it to those who want to equip themselves with a professional tool even to shoot a few dozen reels a year.

Pros: Pretty much everything. The best analog camera ever. If it were for me I would have left it in production for life. possibility to mount both the old analog optics and the most modern ones that have the built-in AF engine (the af-s to mean). Autofocus fast and accurate. Excellent display meter. You also take new/compatible flashes. Supreme ergonomics.

Cons: The weight? Maybe with the 75-300, but if you think about how tough it is, you forget it. Lack of the ghieres upright.

Opinion: I think everything has already been said in the previous comments. A machine that today (since it is at an affordable price compared to the 90s) should not be missing in the kit of every amateur photo. Yes, sir, because analog photography still has that magic (as well as qualitatively still very high) that makes you feel really satisfied with the work you do and this jewel is undoubtedly the means to continuously discover this kind of emotion. The optics all range from old to newest af-s: a real genius. I, for example, that I have the d7200 practically use the same optics (obviously all FX) for both and the same thing applies to the external flash. Of course those who work there to camp will tend towards the most modern mirrorless systems but those who cultivate this passion for love and personal satisfaction can only fall in love with this beautiful machine.

Pros: A tank, almost indestructible, does not fear comparisons, penultimate film model of Nikon home.

Cons: Nothing except for an important weight that makes you forget if you use it in extreme environments.

Opinion: Exceptional machine body, interchangeable viewfinder, excellent tropicalization, splashing, sand, mud do not scare them, it holds firmly and is made for large hands has the vertical handle and well balanced, automatisms all in the right place consumption Batteries no excessive, the only drawback the weight without batteries exceeds the kilo, what to say is a technological masterpiece.
