Nikon Sliced This D5 in Half to Reveal the DSLR’s Guts
![]()
Nikon’s big announcement at CES 2016 in Las Vegas this year was the new flagship D5 DSLR. In the company’s exhibition space, Nikon is displaying a Nikon D5 DSLR and Nikkor 14-24mm f/2.8 lens that have been sliced cleanly in half to show off the innards with a cross-section view.
“If you look closely you can see they are not the same camera, meaning it took 2 Nikon D5 bodies to create this display,” B&H tells PetaPixel. You can see how the Nikon logo on the pentaprism is more than 50% intact on both halves.
Here’s a closer look:

Fully intact Nikon D5 DSLRs are now available for pre-order at B&H for $6,497. Assuming 2 D5 cameras and 1 lens went into this display, then it has a retail cost of about $15,000.
