Nikon D850 Full Frame Digital SLR Camera D850 review

The Nikon D850 is a full-frame or FX format DSLR with 45.7 million pixels on its backlit CMOS sensor. It sits below the Nikon D5 in the company’s DSLR line-up and above the D810 (which is set to continue).

Whether or not the D850 is even on your radar is largely dependent on how vested you are in your current camera system, and whether or not that system is Nikon. Let's talk about other systems first. For Canon devotees, we recommend the EOS 5D Mark IV in the professional full-frame class.

Nikon D850 review: The best DSLR ever?

On paper the Nikon D850 seems to good to be true. This full-frame DSLR camera is no modest refresh of the already impressive Nikon D810 , it's an overhaul. It's fast in every way. Its high-resolution sensor competes with the best - even medium format cameras - given the 45-million-pixel arrangement.

A dependable beast of a full-frame camera that should be top of the wishlist for pros and enthusiastic amateurs alike

Nikon D850 review

If you’re need pro-friendly features and can stomach the price tag, the Nikon D850 is the best DSLR you can buy today. It has a ton of fantastic features that will appeal to anyone who’s looking for a workhorse of a camera that can shoot in pretty much any situation, be it landscapes or fast action. Negatives are few and far between. Using XQD and SD cards may be disappointing to those who already have a stack of CF cards, plus XQD cards are expensive - but they are so fast, it’s worth it if you need ultimate speed. Having the focus points clustered around the centre is sometimes a little annoying as you have to focus and recompose, but that’s something which is common to pretty much all DSLRs. While it may not be able to compete with the Sony A9 when it comes to fast frame rates, a very capable AF system and a range of other features mean that for those who already shoot Nikon, this is a dream upgrade. The D850 is also much cheaper than the Sony A9, while Nikon’s range of lenses remains (for now at least) much more versatile.

The best DSLR money can buy at the moment

The best DSLR money can buy at the moment......saying this also keeping in mind the likes of Nikon D5 & Canon 1Dx

Pro shooter is ditching his D4!

Focusing capabilities alone make this the best Nikon ever. The ISO spectrum, is incredible, as is the new grip (compared to D800) and fold-out screen. Bluetooth and WiFi on board is another great feature for transferring images. Overall an amazing piece of gear and highly recommended.

Like W*O*W

Where does one start It does so many things incredibly well. This isn't an upgrade to the D810 (which I own), but a completely different beast. Nikon has had built-in time-lapse for a long time. In the D850 it has brought it to new heights. It shoots 8k and 4k video.
