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

The Nikon D850 is the first DSLR that truly fits both speed and resolution in the same camera.

Live-view autofocus is slower; Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connection isn't always reliable; Pricey
On paper the Nikon D850 seems to good to be true. This full-frame DSLR camera is no modest refresh of the already impressive Nikon D810 , it's an overhaul. It's fast in every way. Its high-resolution sensor competes with the best - even medium format cameras - given the 45-million-pixel arrangement.
Excellent dynamic range; high-resolution and sharp detail (in the right hands); new silent shooting mode; large viewfinder; vibrant and responsive tilt-angle touchscreen LCD; insanely good battery life; Nikon's best AF system; improved handling and build quality
No built-in flash; AF in Live view mode is slow; especially in low light; xpensive once all extras are included
The D850 is Nikon's highest resolution DSLR to date, boasting a new 45.7 Megapixel full-frame sensor, coupled with the flagship D5's 153-point AF system, and fast burst shooting at 7fps, boost-able to 9fps with the optional battery grip.
Ordered Amazon Warehouse (slightly used - cosmetic marks) camera body to save $300 - next day delivery, signature required - showed up the next day, dropped at front door, by the time I got to the door the driver was getting back in his car at the end of the driveway!
The best DSLR money can buy at the moment......saying this also keeping in mind the likes of Nikon D5 & Canon 1Dx
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 Nikon D850.
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. However, having taken nearly 1000 "practice" shots to learn how things work with my lenses, I can say that photos are even sharper than with the D810,...
One key task when reviewing a new camera is to answer the important question "Who's it for?" This challenge is a bit more difficult than usual with Nikon's new Nikon D850 DSLR, because this powerful camera is one that defies classification.
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.
Pushing the limits of what a DSLR can do are cameras like the Nikon D850, a new top of the line full-frame camera. It offers a lot of features which are innovative and really cutting edge.
