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.

I purchased this camera body as an upgrade from my D810. Since I purchased it just recently, I cannot provide a comprehensive look at the camera yet.

Nikon D850 Full Frame Digital SLR Camera D850 review
What a significant camera this has turned out to be in Nikons line of excellent bodies. Not only is it right up there with the few medium format cameras still on the market on DXOMark (granted, Sony has shown a strong performance on the list as well) The Nikon D850 scores 100 points. But...

Nikon wetted the appetite of many photographers earlier this year with news that it was working on a follow-up to its high-resolution full-frame D810 in the form of the D850.

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.- Photographers who photograph anything from landscapes to sports and want the best possible image quality in a DSLR.
- Those shooting incredibly fast action that requires higher burst speeds and those who require a more refined video feature set
