Whether it’s still photography, or video, the Nikon D850 promises stunning results, due to a dazzling combination of features that make this one of the best-reviewed cameras in the DSLR market.


Extraordinary Resolution

Nikon describes the resolution as "extraordinary", and the dynamic range as "outstanding". With a 45.7-megapixel full frame sensor, it seems these superlatives are justified, and the Nikon D850 can be seen as a big step up from other top-end cameras in the Nikon stable.


Fast And Focused

The D850 has some impressive performance statistics as well, with up to nine frames per second of continuous shooting, at full resolution and with full AF performance.


4K UHD Video

This is video footage for the new age, thanks to the camera's 4K Ultra High Definition recording capabilities.


Incredible Time Lapse

Time-lapse is a feature being built into more and more cameras, particularly at this end of the market, and the D850 is no exception, with 8K and 4K time-lapse movies promising sharper, more detailed results than ever before.


Broad Developments

There are developments in pretty much every area, jumping ahead of its predecessors in Nikon's 800 stable to make this a much sought-after camera for serious photographers. Nikon talk about "remarkable advancements across the board", including sensor design, dynamic range, shutter and mirror-drive mechanisms, Silent-Photography in Live-View mode, and, crucially, battery life.

Like W*O*W

Where does one start It does so many things incredibly well. This isn't an upgrade to the D810 (which I own), but a completely different beast. Nikon has had built-in time-lapse for a long time. In the D850 it has brought it to new heights. It shoots 8k and 4k video.

Goondu review: Nikon D850

In the last couple of years, Nikon has tried to push for the adoption of full-frame cameras for advanced users and professionals and leave the crop-sensor cameras such as the D3000 and D5000 series for less demanding consumers.

The D850 is built of rugged magnesium alloy and carbon fiber materials and features dust and water-drop resistance. Handling is superb with a deeper handgrip and DSLR users will feel at ease with the level of manual controls provided.

Pro shooter is ditching his D4!

Focusing capabilities alone make this the best Nikon ever. The ISO spectrum, is incredible, as is the new grip (compared to D800) and fold-out screen. Bluetooth and WiFi on board is another great feature for transferring images. Overall an amazing piece of gear and highly recommended.

Nikon D850 Review

With expansive resolution, a capable autofocus system, fast burst shooting and great image quality under almost any situation, the D850 is the best DSLR on the market today, and among the best all-around stills cameras we've ever tested. Live view autofocus and video modes could still use some work, but the camera's capabilities handily outshine those deficiencies.
Pros:
  • Photographers who photograph anything from landscapes to sports and want the best possible image quality in a DSLR.
Cons:
  • Those shooting incredibly fast action that requires higher burst speeds and those who require a more refined video feature set
