D850

I switched from a D800 to the D850 and was amazed at the improved tonal range and color accuracy of the D850. When I calibrated the color using DataColor Spyder Checker the profile only adjusted a few of the color swatches by 1 or 2. The images I get over the D800 just seem to pop without any adjustment. The high ISO capability of this camera is just outstanding. I´ve used it several time to shoot some concert photos in an auditorium at 4000 to 25,400 ISO and the images look great even without applying any noise reduction. The image sharpness and detail is a significant improvement over the D800. I shot some birds of prey using a tripod and a calibrated lens (Sigma 150-600mm) and every line and strand of their feathers is razor sharp. I thought the D800 was a fantastic camera. Such and improvement in all areas.

I own the D850 and a D5 and shoot almost exclusively motorsports. The D850 is a very capable sports shooter and, while the autofocus is just a tad less capable than the D5, IMO, it does an outstanding job with fast moving objects. The high resolution allows me to shoot in 1.5X or 1.2X crop mode and still produce decent size images for my clients. As a result, I´ve been using the D850 more than the D5 at the track.

I´ve owned the D800, D810, and now the D850 and without a doubt, the D850 is a huge and well worthwhile upgrade to both the D800 and D810. The build quality is great and the new features like focus stacking and others take this camera to the next level.

Love my new D850. It has outstanding focus and low light performance which were critical attributes for me. You can´t go wrong with the D850.

I bought my D850 and could not be happier. I am using a 70-200 f 2.8 on it, and I am getting some of the best photos of my life. I can thoroughly endorse this camera. Its the closest thing to a medium format camera you can get.

Love it, and with the MB-D18 it feels great! It really is the new medium format.

I´m an Amateur Photographer from back in the 70´s when Film was it ...My Camera of the time was the a Canon EOS620...So as Technology changed - I too followed !!! My interest has been in Outdoor / Nature Photos and Family Events...My last camera was the D750 which was ´outstanding´ and probably all I really needed !!! But when the D850 was introduced, the 45 mega pixie was too good to pass by and with the latest electronics, I figured that this would be my last camera in my lifetime (???!!!)...I´m very pleased with the D850 and though its more than what I need, the Phots taken are ´breathtaking´ and in my opinion worth the price ... Just received the ES-2 Negative Digitalizer and now I´m going to be able to transfer all of my photos of years ago to digital...Thanks Nikon for the Great Camera!!!

I have owned five Nikon bodies this is by far the best ever thanks Nikon you rock

I started with Nikon with a point and shoot I still have. Progessed to a D3200 when it cam out as my entry level DSLR. It was a great starter into the world of DSLR´s. A lot of what I wanted to do I found out was in the pro series of cameras so I bought a D800. A year or so later progressed to the D810 that I loved and used like a religion. So when the D850 came out last year the buzz was so incredible I could not believe what I was reading. A friend of mine who is a Pro photographer and Nikon users was able to get one of the first ones. I was saving for a D5 like he owned. So we talked and talked pixel peeped images between the D5 and D850. Looked at lighting, white balance, color rendition, shadows and detail speed, focusing, just about everything a professional magazine would do but on a more personal and real world level. What we came to find out is the D850 is indeed on par with the D5 except for very high iso and half the price. I am a macro shooter and shoot in a lot of low light situations. The proof is in the images not just a review. I cannot say how pleased I am with this camera. When I was ready to pull the trigger none of the normal places I shop had them and they were on back order. I tried one of the big box stores I shop at and they had them online. 2 days later I had the D850 and the rest is history. I have included a few images from the D850.
