This camera has an amazing feature set, but it´s really the combination of subtle changes and new features that make it so good. It just works-- in every situation I´ve tried it (about 8000 frames of wedding, lifestyle and studio work so far). Controls are right where you want them. The color, dynamic range and resolution are absolutely wonderful. The AF is a dream come true, not only for speed and accuracy but also its ability to find focus most of the time in extreme darkness. The touch screen lets you shoot from even the most awkward positions. The silent electronic shutter occasionally gets me shots I otherwise couldn´t. The buffer never fills up under normal shooting (buy the fastest cards you can). Without a battery grip it´s fast enough for anything but sports and other really speed-centric activities. If you´re someone who shoots multiple disciplines or under a wide range of conditions, this is definitely the camera you want. If you´re a specialist, there is a good chance this is still the camera for you. It´s that good.

My only real complaint isn´t with the camera. It´s with SnapBridge. Lots of room for improvement there.

But this is a seriously good camera. Incredible on paper but even better in actual use.

This camera´s resolution is outstanding. The increased resolution over the Nikon D800 warrants this camera for my wide format printer needs. Other functions, such as ´´focus stacking,´´ add to the value of the camera.

I received my D850 on September 7th. Since then I´ve shot over 7000 exposures, on dozens of professional assignments. While shooting side by side with my D810s, the transition has been seamless and yet, the new camera´s handling is far superior. As great as the D810 still is, the D850 is solidly better in comparison. It´s expensive, but it´s performance is stellar. Thank you Nikon!

I was always under the assumption that my D800e had it all for my class of photography and was therefore that much which I required. I followed the advent of the D850 and the ´hoopla´ surrounding it and though hesitant to take the plunge, got really intrigued and did. ´Wow´ is but an understatement as Nikon has delivered an honest to goodness well thought out and intuitive device. The touch screen among other notable updates is going to pay dividends. While I am well versed with Nikon cameras, every new model throws a curve ball at you and the D850 is no exception. A few of the control buttons have been moved around to accommodate additions (I button, sub selector and FN2) but familiarization will quickly dispel navigational concerns. Though I have not yet received the MB-D18 grip, i´m somewhat disappointed that the battery differs from that in the body. Whatever happened to provisioning a BS-1 (hot shoe cover) to protect from unwanted dust and grime particles? Regardless, a new love affair has begun and i´m all pumped for it.

I needed a DSLR that captures 4k, slow motion and great still images. That is exactly what I got. The user interface is superb as well.

I just got it today, very easy to access right out of the box, I did a time laps video for sun down in downtown and it´s amazing especially the silent mode and the UHD video quality, the Bluetooth and the SnapBridge app work just fine, and interestingly as far as the phone close to the camera and the SnapBridge is on the phone was sending the location data to the camera, the focus shift shooting is also a cool new feature and the silent live view photograph is just an amazing featur, with DX image size the camera can shot 30 fps silently...amazing...Nikon where have you been hiding this camera :)

I am not so sure how long it will take for me to learn all the functions, because there are so many new things to learn. The touch focus with shutter is awesome, that you can click a pic just by touching the screen. It is so smooth that a couple of times it clicked on it´s own while I was handling the camera. Didn´t know that the LCD screen could be tilted downwards too (like in D500), as it was not mentioned anywhere. The sub-selector though helpful and perfectly placed, isn´t moving smooth as expected. The displays (everywhere) is bright and clear. The autofocus and ISO selector buttons is well placed and is easy to use. The test shots in low light were of amazing quality. Still lot to learn that I´m waiting for the battery charging to get over.

In this time that technical part of photography is going forward fast, Nikon create always out standing products.
