You should have a channel dedicated to your real world reviews. I like your format the best. I feel I am learning a ton about your review gear as well as your shooting process. The best review execution on the web. THX!
Not only was your review super thorough and full of information in a way that people can easily digest, your pictures are simply amazing. Keep up the good work guys!
Thanks Jared! Loved this review man. Can't wait to see your thoughts on the D500. I'm still waiting to upgrade my beloved D700. Also, I love seeing how much and how successfully you've grown your channel, your business and your brand. Still keepin it real since the bedroom video days.
Incredible review! In-depth, thorough, honest, no bull and to top it all off, great photos! Despite the fact that it was 30 min, I sat through the whole thing because it was so good. There are KZreadrs who post 6 min reviews that instantly make me snore. But this was some next level shit. I can tell you guys put in a great deal of effort and I appreciate that.

Love your videos. Especially real world stuff so cool how you integrate so many Angles. And you talk through what you are asking yourself when shooting. I learn so much from you.
Your real world review videos are by far my favorite form of reviews! Well done!
THIS is how one reviews a D5, not from an angry couch or using garbage lens to justify how a DX would be a better buy!

+mas921 You must of watched the same video as saying you wasted your money if you bought the D5 over the D500. Maybe if they knew how to use this camera then the negative comments would not be so much about it. I watch some videos from a photographer and his wife that loves to shoot birds (wild life) and I wanted so much to leave a comment do you know how to use this camera in a polite way as I following a bird photographer on Facebook and his images from the D5 are fantastic compare to what he showed on the D5 .. I really think it comes down to the user and I jumped off the DX format since the D300 and went Full Frame why do I want to go back... what is the reason?
@mas921

+james .mannequindisplay yup exactly! THAT video of a "photographer and his wife". I agree it depends on the user, for myself I would get the D500 as I prefer the smaller and lighter weight and most importantly am a Hobbiest (i do not get paid for my pics). besides the d500 now is closing the gap between FX and DX in ISO noise. With same AF as D5, and enough FPS but lighter and 1.5x reach, it makes sense to jump back into DX!

Great review, Jared! One can tell, you´re right in the middle of your element with the D5! Offering the RAW-files is an exceptional service, thanks!
So nice to see you judge actual prints from the camera rather than just looking at them on the computer, you are right when you say you can't see many issues on the prints I have a A1 print that was taken on a 13 year D100 and looks great.
Fantastic review! Your production quality is really second-to-none!
Jared you are just the biggest inspiration in the business. Your reviews are priceless
the BEST real world review you have produced.. subscriber for years
Nice job of providing lots of information and using the images that stand up to your tests!
That was a tremendous review, Jared, and very much appreciated by all of us. I hope you get to do a similar review with the Canon EOS 1DX II as it will be very interesting to compare the two.The Nikon D5 really impresses, but I am glad it brought me back down to earth with image noise. I thought there would be absolutely zero noise at ISO 6400 (it does go into the ISO millions, after all) and there is almost as much as on cheaper consumer cameras. That makes me feel a lot better about my cameras now LOL.Even still, amazing camera and tremendously fast at everything it does. One other passing comment is that I have seen your photography skills grow and grow over a period and that's very impressive too!

I'm grateful for the videos like this, I have a d7100 and can't afford the newest camera but you keep your editing open on the side and I can push my self and my gear to get the best images possible and know that even with the best camera and glass you need to bring back some images and make some pop, so many people refuse to change images on the computer at all. I'm building a portfolio and this helped me with action shots both in my camera and editing. thank you :)
Awesome video, awesome camera, awesome review! This is a great one, Jared! Good job! While I will not get this camera ever, it still looks amazing!

Super in-depth review as always, great to see you showing how the images printed, too. It reminds me as a photographer that sometimes what someone wants isn't an image that looks perfect at a 1:1 zoom on a computer, but instead something good they can put on their mantle, or hang on their wall.

Great video Jared, you've taken these to the next level. I still haven't found...what I'm looking for....
Great job Jared! I was very exited as well when I went out to test this camera myself. I'm not a brand photographer I have Canons and Nikons, but I've got to say, Nikon really nailed this time around with the auto-focusing and the sensor, the focusing tracking is unbelievable and the noise at high ISO is awesome, not to mention the other features. The out of focus situation you were mentioning is all about DOF and of course where the sensor picked the focus, remember the big glasses have a very shallow DOF especially when fully open, shooting bodies moving at high speed and limbs all over is not an easy situation. Again, great job, and thanks for sharing! Keep up with the good work!

Jared, these videos you make are fantastic. Thanks a lot :)
You deserve one million subs right now, I love your channel. Greetings from Costa Rica.
Really enjoy your videos Jarod! With the AF settings I would seriously try letting the camera use its own brain. One thing we learnt going from 1DMk4 to 1DX was the AF system is different and simply better and takes some "unlearning" so you don't bring old ideas to new technology. The 1Dx simply doesn't miss in auto point selection using the multi points around to refine its tracking solution. Looks like Nikon have learnt that and employed it on the D5. Anyway great reviews and looking forward to seeing what you think of 14FPS..lol...great stuff.
Great effort Jared & crew, great review.

Hi Jared! Thank you for doing this real world review... I love my D5! How do you answer a man like Jason Lanier who now says that any "real pro" will be using Sony and people like you and me are just plain "in denial about what the best camera in the world is"? He claims that he out shoots pros at the NFL etc... Do you have an opinion on that? I know it boils down to personal preference. Btw, if you get the CF card version, which I did, Nikon says you can have that module swapped out later on if you want XQD. Oh, have to edit/add... the PRINTS look absolutely FANTASTIC!!!!

Thanks for this extensive review Jared!!! I enjoyed it. Honestly. Side note: what video camera filmed you on the floor looking at the prints? For some reason that stuck out to me and the colors/sharpness looked great (yes, I know there are variables, such as lenss, but I was still curious lol)

Wow. It looks great!!
Great video - with the focus 'issues' you should look into the new 'af fine tune' feature which corrects for slight anomalies in different lenses and the issue of the af module not being in the sensor because it's a DSLR.
Excellent Jared. It is good to see the camera being tested in way it is actually meant to be used. I think the group area focus should be better for tracking the players. Also let us know what camera/s was used to shoot the video?
Outstanding review. Finally a true real world review for this camera.

Yo Fro, really liked this video. I am a season ticket holder at Blackpool FC soccer (football in the UK). When I see the photographers in the ground they have either the Canon or Nikon versions (maybe previous versions) of what you have and also another camera with a 70-200 lens so they can switch when the action is closer. Again great vid!

+Anthony Brady yup, I mentioned that somewhere in the video I think.
Hey Jared, with that dual card setup (I currently use an 80D which I came from an XTi so I know nothing of dual card) when you format, do you choose the card to format or does it format both? I can see the saving grace in a dual card setup if one accidentally formats a card without thinking and you would have a backup on the other. I know i've formatted before i shot a few times and as i was watching the bar move across the screen said OH CRAP there were pics on there... in my head.
Awesome video. I truly wish I could get this camera. I am trying to build a career path in action photography and the D5 would be a fantastic tool. However, I will likely have to go with the D500. On that note, thank you for the D500 review. I currently shoot moto and portrait photography with a D610, but truly need the auto focus speed for action. Your videos have been truly helpful and I am glad I found your channel. Oh, and yes, I SHOOT RAW!
I really like the the quality of your real world reviews with all the b-roll, music and microphone quality, especially in this noisy place.

Jared, do you use back button autofocus? I've been using it for the past several months but I'm kinda debating whether I should switch back or not. Any tips are appreciated!
So how have you come to grips with the different dynamic area focusing behavior changes, and do you think this was this the reason for your softer images that day.
A great and very interesting video!
Could you do a real world review of the sony RX1RII? These are really helpful vids. Especially liked the RX100IV review.
Greetings Jared. If time permits please perform a real life shooting comparison review of the Nikon D5 vs. the D4s. It is strange the only comparison I am able to find on youtube of the two cameras is an on paper spec comparison. I am interested in purchasing a backup camera for sports (boxing, football, basket ball, etc.), dance theatre, and landscape photography. Please consider performing a real live shooting review of the D5 and D4s. Thank you for all your wonderful videos.
Hi Jared, what method are you using for white balance for this camera? Thanks!
I looks like you are the only one that did proper D5 review for now. With lenses that will be on it in real life and shooting sport. Not landscape or travel photography..
