The Nikon D4 was a professional-grade full frame digital single reflex camera announced by the Japanese manufacturer back in January 2012. Since its launch, it has seen several improvements and upgrades made to it, though a true successor has been a long time coming. Now Nikon Corporation has officially confirmed that Nikon D5 is apparently real, which would be a full frame “next generation professional camera” currently under development.
Sadly, that is just about it that the highly applauded camera maker from Japan has confirmed. Hence, there’s no information regarding its price, availability, release date, specs or any official pictures.
“The Nikon D5 will offer professional photographers an even higher level of performance and image quality. When combined with these advanced accessories and the vast lineup of existing NIKKOR lenses, Nikon is offering photographers new levels of imaging expression,” said Nikon.
