D850

The D850 is by far the most versatile dslr I own with far superior capabilities than any of the competitors. I have owned them all

I own the Nikon D850, along with the grip and high performance battery. In the 35 years I have been heavily involved in photography, I have never come across a camera quite like this one. It is mind blowing.

Ergonomically, it is perfectly balanced. With the grip on, it fits perfectly in my hands for either Landscape or Portrait work. Construction is rock solid and high quality. It is everything I would expect from a Nikon.

I love the flip out LED touch screen. This was an excellent addition. It is extremely versatile and has come in handy on many a photo shoot.

What is really incredible is that at 46 MP, the D850 will deliver 9 fps bursts. This covers me on pretty much everything. I am not a sports photographer, but for when I do cover sports or any other special venue, it has plenty of horsepower for my needs. For studio work, there is simply nothing like it at this price range.

One of the more brilliant design features in the camera is the step focus feature that allows you to stack hundreds of images together for the most incredible macro you have ever feasted your eyes on.

Over all, I am also finding I am shooting less images to get the desired results, I am doing less PP work afterwords and my customers marvel at the images they end up getting. And that pretty much is the icing on the cake! The sensor on this camera is a marvel.

If you are doing primarily studio, portrait, landscape, real estate, nature and/or special events, hands down, this camera is for you.

Multi-Media? The video is also out of this world.

I highly recommend this product. You will not regret the purchase. My previous camera was a D800, which I continue to love, but the D850 is head and shoulders better. Well done, Nikon!

This is an excellent camera. I´m still getting used to it, and the feature set and build quality are excellent. But, as an event photographer who has to routinely send images to clients for social media, it is completely useless. The SnapBridge software is totally unusable, making it nearly impossible to connect to the camera. For that reason I´ll be returning this camera and probably just get another D750. Obviously that is an inferior camera to the 850, but at least the wifi works. Why can´t Nikon come up with software that works? It´s baffled me for years. The WMU software that the 750 uses is reasonably good and is reliable. If you don´t need connectivity this camera is for you, otherwise stay away.

Finally able to buy the D850 at my dealer in Charlotte, they are still hard to get (March 2018). Used it on a car rally today with a 24-70G zoom and 105micro. Came home and downloaded the files to find amazing detail, color and depth without the need to touchup in Lightroom, skin tones are vastly improved over my D810 and D800e. I did not miss one shot; no out of focus, no over/under exposure, just amazing images. The D850 is my new favorite body.
If anyone is hesitating to buy this camera, don´t wait. Go to your local dealer and put your name on thier waiting list.

I shy away from the first generation of any new body. That said, I can´t fault anything about the D850 except ... the lack of two identical media slots and the need to add a grip/battery holder with the new EN-EL 18b battery for 9fps. Hence only 4 stars. Honestly, should be 4.6 stars.

45駨᪦ⱞ and 9 fps make this my go to for most shooting (wildlife). Birds on the wing and some other fast action subjects need the D5 but, I could live reasonably happy with just a couple of D850s. Fast focusing, large buffer, etc. make this a well thought out and executed camera.

The D850 by far is the Best Camera so far that Nikon has developed! The D850 performs excellently in the field and delivers the sharpest photos for landscape photographers. With the Focus Shift (Focus Stacking) feature built-in the camera, it delivers a beautiful and sharp photo from the foreground to infinity. Another feature I really like is the Focus Peaking. The D850 would also be great on Portraits, Weddings, Macro´s, Wildlife and so many more fields in photography.

This camera is unlike anything I have ever used. The sensor is a technology marvel. I find I a, taking less images to attain more stunning results with very little time spent after on PP workflow.

Stunning image results in the studio and in the field.

Well done, Nikon, well done.

Im really impressed with this camera so far ! After almost 10 years i switched from Canon to Nikon last week ! I mostly shoot at night or in low light condition outside. I have nothing bad to say about image and build quality but ... I couldn´t say the same thing about the menus and lack of simple features like being able to properly save different shooting style (shutter speed, ISO setting, aperture settings) at first i thought i didn´t understand the ´´custom setting banks´´ so i when ahead and read the user´s manual, I even when online to try to understand how to properly save different shooting style !?! but you just can´t do it!! on the internet all i found was people that were complaining against the custom setting banks. every time you switch to a different Custom Settings Bank if you change things in A and then go to B, you´ll now be in whatever settings you had when you left B. there should be an option to save shooting setting ON\OFF for every banks !! that´s why i´m giving it only 3 stars cause it make my work MUCH slower since i can´t switch from different shooting style fast. I want to be able to change from a long exposure setting to a fast shutter speed without having to change the ISO, shutter speed, F-stop.
last thing is the QUAL button, we should be able too disable it from the menus ! working outside in the cold with gloves on you can easily switch (Image Size and File Format) specially at night. Hopefully there will be a firmware update in the near future that would fix those issues.

Amazing pictures with geat detail.. We recently vacationed in Italy with Venice as a starting point. Took various pictures of canals and the famous Rialto Bridge. Once i reviewed the pictures at home, I was amazed. Blowing up or croping the pictuers at 100%, I was blown away by the great details in the images. You can crop at 100% and print pictures with incredible details. I could clearly see the sand grains in the cement joints between the bricks. If price is of no concern, this camera is hard to beat.
