D850

Every now and then, something comes along that causes us to expand and grow. I have been a professional Nikon user for over 30 years. Our full-time portrait/wedding studio has photographed over 1,000 weddings. I have owned numerous Nikon film bodies; as well as, a Hasselblad film camera system. I have owned multiple digital bodies including the D2x, D300´s, D600, D700´s, D3s.

All that to say, nothing I have used to date has been as pleasing to use as the D850. This camera challenges me as a photographer. The image quality is unbelievable. The features go well past my normal skill set. I have actually had to read the manual on some features (I never read manuals). This camera is the single best piece of photographic equipment that I have ever been able to work with. In fact, one con might be that it is too much resolution (the file sizes are huge) for most of my portrait and wedding work as they can simply can be done with lower resolution. But now I have a tool that goes beyond ´´normal´´ and expands my business product offerings. The build quality is outstanding. I just can´t imagine what Nikon will follow this camera up with.

The D850 is a Giant leap forward of the D810. The build quality is better, it has the ´´feel´´ of a well made product. In addition the combination of the improved grip and the new location of the ISO button (on the Grip) allow one to keep the eye on the targeted subject. The XQD card slot is a gigantic improvement performance over the CF card, especially with the increase in megapixels over the D810
The sensor allows the photographer to feel comfortable in a broad range of light conditions and subject areas, from landscapes to sports, portraits to macro with confidence.

And let us not forget the tilting monitor that makes it easier to get those high and low shots and the convenience of illuminating the buttons.

The image quality is stunning! You can´t put this camera down, it´s fun!

The results a camera that can be used in a wide range of

All buttons are in the right place for this camera. Size of the body . fells perfect to my hand , easy menus and so on .... very happy with it , image quality as expected .Snap bridge transfer copy of pictures to the mobile phone very easy too.

THe D850 has taken my photographic journey into realms I never thought I could achieve.

I am a student at The Art Institute for my BA in Digital Photography. I have used all of the features of the D-850. It produces amazing results. I really enjoy the focus stacking. I also enjoy the bracket shots. On my way back to Peru in July 2018 from northern to southern Peru to include Chile for some travel photography.

As a Nikon owner since the ´90s - my cameras just keep getting better with every purchase! Just when I think they can´t get any better, I´m corrected. In 2010 I was convinced my D3s would be the last camera I would ever need -- then the D810 came along!! Oh my - I was beyond blown away! As an event photographer I was looking forward to the D810´s successor as my 2nd body. When the D850 came out, I couldn´t order it fast enough -- it felt like I had waited ages. :-) I was hoping it would feel and act like my D810 so I would not get confused when shooting an event - and after mimicking the settings I feel like I can go from one to the other without a second thought. Sure, there is probably so much that I am not using on the D850 -- but for my type of photography, whistles and bells are not as important as high quality, tack sharp images -- and the D850 fits the bill, hands down!

D5300 to F5 to D850. I am in awe. This is a beast and it´ll take me a year to learn it all. This is good!

After a very, very long wait, I received ny new D850. After 46 years of Nikon I must say I have met a camera I have to ‘learn´ to respect. There is a slight learning curve to the D850 - nothing too difficult - but one must learn to master the capability of this camera (or get close to it). The build quality is excellent. Carrying around the D850 without the MB-D18 Multi-Power Battery Pack makes it easy/comfortable like any casual camera except it takes fantastic pics......seriously, this D850 produces phenomenal images. Add the MB-D18 and the D850 becomes a beast that does all of the aforementioned but much longer. And, with the battery pack, this camera feels so good in the hand. And that MB-D18 adds nice versatility.
I must say my only complaint, of sorts, is the availability of critical accessories, i.e., the Nikon MH-26aAK Adapter Kit to charge the MB-D18 battery -BACK ORDERED- for a long time!!!!! Got the MB-D18 but can´t use it until that MH-26aAK Adapter is back in stock. Bummer!
Other than that, this is an excellent camera that is capable of remarkable images. Get one and enjoy !

When I started with the Nikon family, I started with a D7000 on to a D750 which is a great camera then a D500 (this one before even rumor of the D850). I have yet to use all the features but I´m totally impressed
with the camera.
