D850

I have three D850 cameras and a lot of lenses. Better to have the right setup rather than changing lenses mid-stream. This is, in my opinion, the best DSLR ever made. I have been shooting with Nikon gear since the days of the F2, more than 50 years ago, and I have never been disappointed. It took a long time for me to switch to digital having grown up in the darkroom, but now I am so pleased with the quality and results. Wow! The D850 will probably be the last camera I ever use. I expect it to produce exquisite photos for the rest of my life. My photos have won international awards. The D850 is the workhorse of my creativity all over the world.

The Nikon D850 is a masterpiece of engineering, a camera that delivers stunning image quality without compromise. It sets a new standard for full-frame DSLRs, combining detail-rich images with superb autofocus and battery life

The Nikon D850 still impresses in 2025. I got the camera at a great price and now have a full frame camera along with my D500 DX Frame. The camera build has very comfortable ergonomics in the hand. The D850 was always on my bucket list. I'm excited to put it to use in the field. I know it will perform !

This is my second D850 and I have been very pleased with the performance. The D850 has been flawless every time.

I started shooting digital with Nikon 11 years ago, and have since used the D200, D800, D810, and now the D850, of which I have three. Each body is at the ready with a different lens attached, one with a 60mm f/2.8 macro, another with a 24-70 f/2.8, and the third with a 200-500 f/5.6. No matter what combo I head out with, I'm always assured of having some keeper images at the end of the day. So the D850 just works, no matter the setting where its being used or the subjects its focused on :)

The D850 is an amazing camera. I purchased mine about three years ago and have thoroughly enjoyed using it. The level of control is outstanding. Coming from a D750, I was impressed with the much higher level of detail and surprisingly good low light performance. It is certainly larger and heavier than the D750, but I find it is a very comfortable camera to use on all day shoots. Highly recommended. See also my review of the Z8 for a comparison of the two cameras.

I purchased my D850 along with the Nikkor 28-300mm lens along with Nikon flash and other equipment back on July 1, 2019. Quite frankly the D850 has served all my needs. Like most electronics you can keep upgrading almost forever but the D850 is extremely well. I refer to myself as an amateur as I don't charge anything for the non-profits I volunteer my efforts. The camera and I must be doing something by way of the compliments I receive and as I called back repeatedly for my work. Nikon may be unhappy with my review as I have no need to upgrade my equipment. The D850 is an outstanding product.Best wishes to everyone for good health.Herb

What a fantastic camera even in 2025. Unfortunately Nikon has stopped making DSLR bodies in favor of EVF cameras, so this was perhaps my last chance to purchase a pro body with a true realtime viewfinder. The sensor performance still is at the top of the market and the ergonomics are first rate. And it has that lovely, lovely optical viewfinder. In short, buy one while you still can. I'm probably going to get a second body, while I still can.

It is a historical DSLR camera! I transitioned to Z8 & Z9 from D850 2 years ago but kept missing D850, could not get mind off. So, I bought again. Just a fantastic tool period!
