This week the price of the Nikon D5 was slashed by an impressive $1,000 (Body only) for a current price of $5,496.95. It’s safe to say that even with all the changes in gear and focus on mirrorless lately, this camera is still a very significant workhorse. We’ve reviewed the D5 in the past have a lot of praise for the system, but when we see a price drop like this it’s usually a sign that the “next gen” is around the corner. We’ll keep you posted with what we find out, but in the meantime, if you’re in the market for a new professional workhorse at a very nice chunk of savings, be sure to check out this deal!
