introduction

announced July 2016
but compared to the new Nikon D5 pro dSLR though the D5 gives 3780 shots battery, better LCD, 200 RAW+jpeg buffer, 153 AF pts, and 4K HDMI out as well as being marginally lighter

weather sealed sports pro dSLR
20mp sensor
ISO 100-51,200 (50-409,600)
shutter 30secs - 1/8000th sec with x-sync 1/250th sec
same optical viewfinder specs (0.76x magnification, 20mm eye relief) as mark I
new 360,000-pixel RGB+IR sensor for face recognition and subject tracking iTR AF
61 AF points incl. 41 cross type with 24% more coverage compared to mark I and the 5 dual-cross AF in the centre allow more accurate AF with wide aperture lenses, while the centre point works down to -3EV
- 27 cross points still function at f/8 which is of benefit to birding with teleconverters
- 6 AF setting presets
- iTR still unable to track a subject's eye and still not as dependable as Nikon's 3D Tracking AF ¹⁾
thanks to the dual pixel AF sensor, Live View CDAF/PDAF gives face detection AF but still no C-AF or tracking
