Nikon D850

 

Is this the most versatile professional DSLR ever made? . Nikon D850.

Sensor resolves exceptionally fine detail ; Super-fast autofocus and silent shooting in Live View ; Inherits AF toggle from D500 for fast AF point positioning ; Impressive battery life with EN-EL15a battery

Lacks on-chip phase detection AF in Live View ; Touchscreen doesn’t allow users to adjust key exposure settings ; SnapBridge connectivity requires improvement

The Nikon D850 is the perfect blend of high-resolution, speed and performance. It’s an all-round sensation and will be hugely popular with its target audience.

Nikon D850 review

 

High resolution meets high speed

Potential for large and detailed images ; Sophisticated and proven AF system ; Large and bright viewfinder ; 19.4MP DX crop mode ; Epic battery life

More expensive than D810 ; Live View focusing speed behind rivals ; SnapBridge still clunky

Whether you're shooting weddings, landscapes, portraits, action or wildlife, the D850 won't leave you wanting. A much more versatile proposition than the D810 (and its closest rivals for that matter), the D850 is a brilliant DSLR, and perhaps the most...

Nikon D850 review: The best DSLR ever?

 

Right now, it's hard to think of a better camera than the Nikon D850. It's a photographers' camera. And a clear contender for camera of the year.

Excellent dynamic range ; High-resolution and sharp detail (in the right hands) ; New silent shooting mode ; Large viewfinder ; Vibrant and responsive tilt-angle touchscreen LCD ; Insanely good battery life ; Nikon’s best AF system ; Improved handling...

No built-in flash ; AF in Live view mode is slow ; Especially in low light ; Xpensive once all extras are included

The Nikon D850 impresses on paper. But after sustained use it's blown us away. This is one mean 45.4-million-pixel picture-making machine.

Nikon D850 review

 

This speedy DSLR also has a serious eye for detail

Super high-res sensor capable of incredible detail ; Burst mode makes it good for action too ; Weatherproof and extremely well built ; Incredibly crisp optical viewfinder ; Silent shooting mode is a useful extra

Centred focus points sometimes means recomposing ; XQD cards are expensive

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

The Nikon D850 isn't cheap but it is likely the closest you can get to an all-in-one wonder camera if you prefer to go with a DSLR.

Just Posted! Nikon D850 Review The D850 may be Nikon's most versatile full-frame DSLR, with high resolution and inheriting the D5's AF performance. The Nikon D850 features 45.7MP on a F…

Live View is improved on the beautiful 3.2-in. (2.36M-dot) tiltable touchscreen LCD. New are illuminated buttons. The only downsides of a DSLR remain size and weight (when compared to a mirrorless), but if these are not negatives in your book, the...

Nikon D850 Review

 

The Nikon D850 is the first DSLR that truly fits both speed and resolution in the same camera.

45.7-megapixel full-frame sensor renders excellent detail ; Speedy 153-point autofocus system ; 7 fps burst mode; 9 fps with battery grip ; Sturdy, weather-sealed design ; 4K video and 1080p slow-motion

Live-view autofocus is slower ; Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connection isn’t always reliable ; Pricey
