The editors didn't like

  • (Minor Nitpicks)
  • No focus peaking in 4K
  • Ineffective video autofocus
  • Big size
  • I'm over DSLRs at this point despite the fact that I acknowledge them as fantastic image making devices

  • Fast - 7 to 9 frames per second, Tilting, touch LCD, 153-point AF system, Superb image performance
  • No built-in flash, No GPS, Uses the so-so SnapBridge system rather than offering built in connectivity
  • Highly competitive upgrade of the Nikon D810 with plenty of new additions and stunning imaging ability makes it a serious player in the $5000 DSLR marketplace...

  • 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
  • Should I buy the Nikon D850? Nikon users had a long three-year wait for a replacement to the mighty D810, but the great news is that the D850 doesn't disappoint in the slightest, delivering impressive features by the truckload. Professionals, semi-profe...

  • Packed with features, Outstanding picture quality, Easy to use and share photos
  • Slightly on the heavy side, This level of performance doesn't come cheap
  • Hyped as Nikon's best ever professional DSLR, the full frame D850 serves up a stunning all-round performance...

  • Great photo quality, Brilliant battery life at 1,840 shots on a single charge, Interchangeable lenses with a wide amount of options
  • Extremely heavy at 1kg for just the body, Very expensive, Menus are not as easy to navigate as other DSLRs we have tested
  • With its great photos and excellent video recording, the Nikon D850 is a DSLR that delivers quality. But it comes at steep price, and the weight and cumbersome menu might not be to everyone's taste.Overall Score: 77/100RATINGS:Ease of use: 4/5Design: 5/5P...

  • 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
  • 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 a...

  Published: 2017-10-03, Author: Hillary , review by: Digitaltrends.com

  • 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
  • If you want a pro-level camera that mixes both resolution and speed, buy the D850 — it won't disappoint. But if you plan to shoot lots of fast-paced video using autofocus, you're simply better off with a mirrorless or a dedicated camcorder, since the live...

  • 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
  • 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.In the right hands and with good quality glass, the D850 is capable of crisp and highly detailed images. The camera's...
