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 fiver matches DPReview's Gold Award for the best DSLR money can buy...and this is not even Nikon's flagship model. On my lowly Nikon 50mm f1.8 AF it proves to be the sharpest lens in my inventory, easily beats out the 105mm Micro -Nikkor VR which I rented to test because I already have a 55...
SHARP
A bit heavy
Amazing camera!!! Well worth the money and the quality is amazing
If you're need pro-friendly features and can stomach the price tag, the Nikon D850 is the best DSLR you can buy today.
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.
The Nikon D850 is an excellent DSLR which is hard to find fault with. It delivers the best overall performance with an impressive combination of high-resolution and speed thanks to its 46 megapixels BSI-CMOS sensor and fast EXPEED 5 processor that deliver full-resolution images at 7 FPS and even up...
Superb dynamic-range; Excellent detail capture; Good colors accuracy; Reliable White-Balance; Ultra-fast and sensitive autofocus system; Highly responsive; Ultra-short black-out; Flexible self-timer and exposure delay; Built-in OVF shutter; Illuminated controls; Manual focus assist direction...
Metering still imperfect; Higher per-pixel noise; OVF Level hard to see; Bizarre Auto ISO; Live-View still mostly not Exposure-Priority; Demanding on lenses; Flex in LCD hinge; Asymmetric memory-cards slots; Pricey
Whether you're shooting weddings, landscapes, portraits, action or wildlife, the D850 won't leave you wanting. A much more versatile proposition than the D810 (and its closest rivals for that matter), the D850 is a brilliant DSLR, and perhaps the most well-rounded camera we've ever tested.
Potential for large and detailed images; Sophisticated and proven AF system; Large and bright viewfinder; 19.4MP DX crop mode; Epic battery life
More expensive than D810; Live View focusing speed behind rivals; SnapBridge still clunky
The D850 is easily Nikon's most versatile DSLR to date. Offering a new 45MP sensor, faster processor and an improved weather-sealed body, the D850 is comfortable, highly customizable and able to photograph pretty much whatever you want to throw at it.
Class-leading resolution; Excellent dynamic range; Very good high ISO performance; Very fast AF and burst shooting; Durable weather-sealed body; Improved ergonomics; Touchscreen; Dual card slots; 4K video
Live view/video mode still uses sluggish contrast-detect AF; Viewfinder only tests at ~98% coverage; No 4K at 60p; 30-minute video clip limit; Focus peaking not supported with 4K
Amazing camera; Expensive, but worth every penny; The time lapse movie feature is incredible at stitching together your images without ever leaving the camera to go into a video editor like premiere pro; It's a crop master, allowing you to zoom close into images with them still being very useable.
Nothing bad about this camera, it's the best technology out right now for photography; I guess the one thing I didn't like so much was the screen, because it doesn't swivel out like other models, like the Nikon D5300 where you can turn it around to record and see yourself.
This camera is great. I have used it for sports, portraits, real estate, events, landscapes and weddings. It has never let me down! Works even better with the battery grip and D5 battery. Battery life is good, with the D5 battery amazing! The video quality is also top notch.
Build quality; Screen size
works well! JL
