D850

The D850 is an amazingly capable camera. I had been using the D750 previously. I am simply blown away by the images produced by this camera and extremely happy I bought it. Sharing some sample images straight from the camera without any post-processing other than cropping to reduce size since this site accepts pictures up to 10 MB. The pictures with leaves were taken using a 24-120mm f/4G lens and the picture with persimmons were taken using a 50mm f/1.8G lens.

Have been a Nikon user for over fifty years. Started with a Nikkormat and gradually moved up from there. Have one D850 which is out for repair. (Nikon repair is very slow.) So I bought another one while waiting. Bought it refurbished from Nikon and if it weren't for the plain white box, I would swear it is brand new. Very happy with it and still waiting for my original D850 to come home. (******) That's Six Stars.

I have been shooting with the D850 for over two years now both in the studio and the field. I find it very solid and easy to use. Transitioning from my D7200 was no issue. I am thinking of adding a second one body to the camera bag.

I’ve been out of the photo workd for quite a while. My last Nikon was an F2. That was a stupendous piece of equipment. Alas, I am now 72 and I have thousands of underwater slides, macros, and negatives both color and b&w all 35 mm film. Of all the cool stuff this camera does my favorite use is to convert color and b&w film to jpg and bluetooth it to my phone where I can share those memories with others, also I can put paper pictures on a copy stand and the come out great!The D850 is an extension of my old professional work, and I absolutely love it!

In a world of mirrorless cameras I just purchased this camera and I love it. I chose it for a few of reasons. I needed a camera for wildlife and landscapes. I wanted the higher megapixels. I needed a camera for wildlife and landscapes that I could crop in if needed but also gave the ability to do larger prints for landscapes. This camera fits both. Also, I have a complete line up of lenses. I have the trinity plus every prime and the 17-35 and 200-500. These lenses works beautifully on the D850. The camera is fast enough for my needs. This camera was the perfect upgrade for me and anyone who has a complete line of DSLR lens but is ready for the next body.

This is an amazing camera! I've shot Nikon since my first FM back in the '80's, which is why I've mainly been using my 2 Df cameras of late (call it nostalgia), but we just added a D850 to the lineup and have been blown away by the amazing quality of the images and the incredible flexibility this body affords us.

“Wait, didn’t you already own a D850?”“Yes, I did.”“Then why did you buy another one?”“There’s never been another camera like it, and I want them to last as long as they can.”Switching between them is no problem. I could get philosophical about it.Two cameras of identical quality and design gives you back-up, interchangeable use, redundancy, the ability to test on one and produce on the other. You can attach contrasting or similar lens sizes on either one and derive more than double the creativity. This camera’s ability is virtually boundless, and I keep finding ways to do things I didn’t know about. From its uncanny focusing mechanism to its battery life, to its array of menu and shooting options, there’s nothing else that matches it except another D850.

The level of detail and sharpness this camera captures is simply incredible. Shooting in low light without a tripod is effortless, and the solid, tank-like build feels great in the hand. I already own the holy trinity of F-mount lenses, so switching to the Z system, even with an adapter, just doesn’t make sense for me. Still, despite not being the newest model, this camera absolutely rocks!

For me, it was a no-brainer. I am a photographer so I had a choice get the best DSLR ever made at a phenomenal price or buying into new technology that is changing as fast as new cell phones. The 850 gives me more than what I need Feels good in your hand looks great through the view finder and give you results that are impeccable. You get the better DSLR…nuff said!
