D850

I am an NYPPA / NY Press independent photographer & Retired NYC WTC 9/11 First Responder.I photograph numerous events within the NYC area. I recently used my Nikon D850 with a Nikkor 28-300mm. I also used my Nikon D5 with a Nikkor 14-24mm F2.8 to photograph the NYBG 2020 Orchid Show. I have to say that I am extremely impressed with the outstanding performance & quality that my Nikon D850 produced. I have attached some photographs. NOTE: I resized the original photos using photomechanics. The original file size I used on the D850 was (L) 8256x5504, 45.4 M JPEG

I´ve owned several Nikon cameras, as well as other brands, but this camera does everything (photographically) that I need for my type of photographic subjects. I debated purchasing this camera when I owned the D750, but the button layout was exactly the same as my D500 and that was key in my decision to acquire it. I couldn´t be happier with my purchase. I´ve heard people complain about the video on this camera, but since I don´t shoot video, I just ignore the complaints. My advice: if you have the funds available, then by all means pick this camera up. I promise you won´t be disappointed in the least. What really pleased me is the fact Nikon emailed and thanked me for buying and registering the camera. How´s that for appreciation? LOL! The photos below are straight out of the camera JPEGS with no post processing done to them. Note: I had to crop them due to upload size restrictions.

The flexibilty of this camera is amazing. From megapixels to ISO, Nikon has it covered. I love the silent photography function when I have to take set photos without disturbing cast and crew. Not only can I take full frame photos, I can switch to UHD video with a flat cine profile for future color grading. The 1080 slow motion function is a feature that I use when filming basketball games. The flip out screen made it so much easier for DSLR film makers to film at low angles. The versality and function of this camera, in my opinion, makes it the king of cameras at this point in time.

I bought this to replace my D800, which was a perfectly fine and excellent camera. WOW. The differences are huge, beyond the megapixel differences but with the display, speed, ISO, etc. I am impressed, and I get the same extraordinary results and clarity with my existing lenses. Love it, I´m glad I made the upgrade.

King of all! Best camera I have ever owned Period! High resolution sensor, silent photography...All the features would want in a single camera!

If you want every detail, every pixel matters. This camera delivers. It´s ease of use and combination of on camera functions makes creating extremely high resolution images that can be stunning. It is indispensable for the photographer who publishes large format printed material.

I´ve been shooting Nikons forever it seems. I love them, always have. This is simply the best Nikon yet. I figure Niokon has spent a lot of money and time getting the processor(s) right, so I´ve been shooting on full auto. I like it a lot.

I have owned many cameras of different brands, including the Nikon D3, which was a groundbreaking digital SLR, but the D850 Is by far the best I have ever owned. It does everything exceptionally well.
I considered waiting for the Z7 replacement since mirrorless is all the rage, but I don´t believe the image quality will be better than what you can get with the D850...at least our eyes won´t be capable of noticing the difference without wasting time searching for marginal improvement at a higher cost.
