Why those gorgeous shots from Artemis are courtesy of a 10-year-old Nikon camera, rather than anything shipped since then: https://petapixel.com/2026/04/06/the-10-year-old-nikon-d5-dslr-really-is-the-best-camera-for-artemis-ii/

The 10-Year-Old Nikon D5 DSLR Really Is the Best Camera for Artemis II

The Nikon D5 may be relatively old, but it's also uniquely powerful in low light.

@timbray @siracusa Loved my Nikon D5, took it on many vacations in mid 2000’s. My first digital camera without any hot pixels, a constant problem with earlier models. Had to leave it behind when 20MP DSLR’s appeared, but loved it while it lasted.
