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.

Nikon D850 Review
The D850 looks like the perfect do-it-all DSLR for professional photographers, but at this price it could appeal to a large number of ambitious amateurs too.

Nikon's D850 Is Stealing Some Of The Mirrorless Camera's Best Features
DSLR cameras, the big bulky Nikon and Canon cameras you see photographers and your cousin Mimi rocking at weddings, aren't going to go away any time soon, but mirrorless cameras, like the excellent Sony A9 , have gotten good enough to make the Nikons and Canons of the world scared.

Nikon D850 focuses on balancing high resolution and speed
The successor to the Nikon D810 hits 45 megapixels and 7-9 fps continuous shooting. It's been three years since Nikon released the D810, its image-quality flagship full-frame camera. Its successor, the D850, looks like it's been updated enough to get it through the next three, with a new 45.7-megapixel BSI CMOS sensor (which typically deliver faster readout), Nikon's most recent autofocus and metering systems, 4K video and more.
The Nikon D850 is Nikon's latest high resolution full-frame DSLR, boasting a 46MP backside-illuminated CMOS sensor. But, in a fairly radical departure for the series, it is also one of the company's fastest-shooting DSLRs.
