Is the nikon d5 good in low light?
The Nikon D5 is a full frame camera with a 20.8-megapixel sensor, and that size is a real advantage in low light. A full frame sensor collects roughly a stop more light than APS-C at the same framing and f-number, so images stay cleaner at high ISO. The page doesn't give the D5's exact high-ISO numbers, so I can't put a figure on it.
The lens does more of the work than the body. The D5 has no in-body stabilisation, so for slow shutter speeds, pick a stabilised lens. For dim scenes, I'd start with fast primes like these:
- Nikon AF-S 50mm f/1.8G, a cheap way to get a lot of light
- Nikon AF-S 85mm f/1.4G, for portraits in dim rooms
- Sigma 35mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art, a fast all-round option
If you'd rather have one zoom, the Nikon AF-S 24-70mm f/2.8E ED VR is stabilised and fast enough for most indoor work.
