D850

I´ve been using Nikon film cameras since the late 1970s, and digital cameras since the mid 2000s -- and the D850 does not disappoint! Most importantly, it handles my 30-40 year old prime and macro lenses like my old F2AS, and is spot on with the more modern features and AF-S/AF-P series autofocus lenses. I use the D850 primarily for nature, macro and wildlife photography, but also shoot in low light (time lapse, theater, concerts, etc), as well as some portraiture and sports. Regardless of the setting, the D850 performs at or above expectations.

I print large format pictures, and do custom matting and framing. Although I always attempt to ´´get it right in the camera´´, with the D850 I am able to crop, and pull detail out of the shadows -- and still print with amazing sharpness at virtually any custom frame-able size.

I am a profesional fitness and physique photographer. I shoot competitions and athletes throughout the USA and Canada. The D850 is that camera I´ve been waiting for, fast focusing, amazing color rendition and an ISO range that enables me to shoot before sunrise and create magical images.

I´ve had many cameras for the past 50 years and the D850 is the best of all my cameras. It has a ll the features one needs for all types of photography. I doubt I´ll buy another camera because this camera is perfect.

Very satisfied with my D850. This is a definite step up from my D800. My go to lens is my Nikon 24-120 f4 and I could not be happier. Sharp landscapes. Great sports photography. Low light capabilities are amazing.

I had the D800, D810, but as it happened a small accident with my D800 was to buy another D810 which is a great camera and I love working with it. So seeing the Nikon rumors saw that the D850 came in I decided to wait to buy. It was worth waiting for because when I bought it and started working with it it exceeded my expectations. I really like this camera and I recommend upgrading to those who have a lower range camera and who have jobs that can cover the investment. Her focus, the shooting raipez, the wireless and bluethood in addition to several other new features are the best. I had already worked with the D5 and this camera leaves nothing to be desired compared to the D5. Thank you very much Nikon for this gift you gave us.

Love my new D850; a really great camera. Use the 24 - 120 lens on it primarily. It is a real workhorse.
Will be taking it to Alaska later this summer to photograph wildlife!!

I love this camera. i shoot everything from landscape to portrait to wildlife but my primary focus is shooting raptors and birds. I used to use my D7200 for my bird shots but this camera´s incredible focus acquisition and the ability to shoot group has made it a ´´goto´´ camera for all purposes. I think that the greatest benefit is the ability to significantly crop and still have something great and usable left over. That is the real world, not every shot is perfect and if I can save something that would have been marginal before, all the better. Pairs beautifully with my nikkor 400mm 2.8 e fl.

The best review I can give, is that I now own two D850 cameras. What an amazing piece of equipment. The D850 captures details and subtle colors that I hadn´t noticed until I enlarged the images.

I bought the D850 to replace my D750, based on reviews saying that the D850, with its 47 Mpx sensor, was comparable to medium-frame cameras. Then, I tested them side by side, using the same lens (the 24-70 f/2.8), at the same apertures. I´d take a picture on one, then take the same picture on the other, at ISO 200, then ISO 800, then ISO 1600. One difference is that the D850 has a better color gamut. On an 8 1/2 x 11 size print, a gray sky comes out gray, while for the D750, it leans toward purple. Also, there are more shades of brown. I then made blowups at 22 x 17 (actually 21.76 x 14.5). There were some areas of the print where the D850 shots seemed to have more detail, and even better, a greater range of colors. Aside from that, I could only tell the difference in sharpness, and there was a difference, if I used a 4x magnifier, but there was a difference, although subtle.. But, when I reached ISO 1600, the colors now looked even better than the D750 colors. In all, the D850 seems to be the ultimate full-frame digital camera, and it´s only about 3 oz. heavier than the D750, not as heavy as the top of he line Canons, for instance. The main differences are a greater range of colors, more subtle colors, too. Also, you can shoot the D850 at ISO 1600, and it´s to tell those shots from ISO 200.
