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

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.

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 and build quality

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

The D850 is Nikon's highest resolution DSLR to date, boasting a new 45.7 Megapixel full-frame sensor, coupled with the flagship D5's 153-point AF system, and fast burst shooting at 7fps, boost-able to 9fps with the optional battery grip.

Ordered Amazon Warehouse (slightly used - cosmetic marks) camera body to save $300 - next day delivery, signature required - showed up the next day, dropped at front door, by the time I got to the door the driver was getting back in his car at the end of the driveway!

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

Nikon wetted the appetite of many photographers earlier this year with news that it was working on a follow-up to its high-resolution full-frame D810 in the form of the Nikon D850.

I purchased this camera body as an upgrade from my D810. Since I purchased it just recently, I cannot provide a comprehensive look at the camera yet. However, having taken nearly 1000 "practice" shots to learn how things work with my lenses, I can say that photos are even sharper than with the D810,...

One key task when reviewing a new camera is to answer the important question "Who's it for?" This challenge is a bit more difficult than usual with Nikon's new Nikon D850 DSLR, because this powerful camera is one that defies classification.

In the last couple of years, Nikon has tried to push for the adoption of full-frame cameras for advanced users and professionals and leave the crop-sensor cameras such as the D3000 and D5000 series for less demanding consumers.

Pushing the limits of what a DSLR can do are cameras like the Nikon D850, a new top of the line full-frame camera. It offers a lot of features which are innovative and really cutting edge.
