No longer a newbie, moving up!
I was sold on the D5, the better half not so much ($$$$$$$).
In any case, it looks as though I will be shooting more low light sporting events (outdoors and indoor arenas) in 2017. Thus, I was telling myself that for the minor price difference between the two, the D5 was a no brainer. The incredible ISO performance was the main attraction for me, along with the improved auto-focus system.
Then.......
Today I happened by the local camera shop and began chatting with the folks. One gentleman said follow me. Goes in the glass case and pulls out a used D4S. Nope. Not for me. I do not want used. Then he pulls it out of the box. This thing is like brand new. No scratches, nicks, dings, all of the original paperwork, box, etc. The only thing I am not certain of is the cycle count. The price, lets just say it is less than half of a D5.
So, I ask for those who have used these two bodies; given the price of the D4S, is the D5 that much better in real world ISO and focusing (when it comes to sports, especially low light, fast action)?
I think I know what I am thinking, but the better half may not be too happy!
