Another tech thing about the D5/D500's MultiCAM 20k: There is a better noise filter on the sensor enabling the AF unit to work with less distractive noise in its phase detection process.

Quiet mode operation is just like the D4 series. The double touch to zoom to 100% is a really nice feature. I didn't like the somewhat cramped space when trying to operate the 3 buttons between the bayonet and the handgrip. Ripping away at 12fps...oh yeah  ;D

Today I went to Nikon service in Shinjuku, Tokyo where both D5 and D500 were on display.  I played around with it.  What I noticed was that the live view is noticeably improved over that of D4, the time lag is short enough to focus manually without being frustrated.  The shutter responce was also noticeably better.  The live view of D500 was also improved over D7200, but not as dramatically as on D5.

 

D5 was slightly larger than D4/4S (about 5mm taller and a few milimeters wider than D4/4S).  D500 was roughly as large as D300.

Funny, I drooled when I saw those three buttons.  Mine are currently occupied by VF gridlines/level and non-cpu lens selector, really wish I had a third button for DOF preview!

What's the deal with focus point spreads and why they are so centrally concentrated?

What is keeping the camera manufacturers from moving them closer to the edges of the frame?

The lack of spread has to do with physical constraints. Optics, mirrors, etc.

With a whole bunch of nice Nikkors around I am not that interested in the 1D X mark II. But just a quick look revealed a few interesting things:

It has GPS built-in; under a "plastic" cover atop the pentaprism housing.
It is significantly cheaper than the D5 over here, 6399 Euro for the 1D X mark II vs 7109 Euro for the D5  >:(

played with the D5, but currently have no need for it since the D4 is still a pretty good camera considering it's age  :o :o :o
