Whether it’s still photography, or video, the Nikon D850 promises stunning results, due to a dazzling combination of features that make this one of the best-reviewed cameras in the DSLR market.
Nikon describes the resolution as "extraordinary", and the dynamic range as "outstanding". With a 45.7-megapixel full frame sensor, it seems these superlatives are justified, and the Nikon D850 can be seen as a big step up from other top-end cameras in the Nikon stable.
The D850 has some impressive performance statistics as well, with up to nine frames per second of continuous shooting, at full resolution and with full AF performance.
This is video footage for the new age, thanks to the camera's 4K Ultra High Definition recording capabilities.
Time-lapse is a feature being built into more and more cameras, particularly at this end of the market, and the D850 is no exception, with 8K and 4K time-lapse movies promising sharper, more detailed results than ever before.
There are developments in pretty much every area, jumping ahead of its predecessors in Nikon's 800 stable to make this a much sought-after camera for serious photographers. Nikon talk about "remarkable advancements across the board", including sensor design, dynamic range, shutter and mirror-drive mechanisms, Silent-Photography in Live-View mode, and, crucially, battery life.

This camera is great. I have used it for sports, portraits, real estate, events, landscapes and weddings. It has never let me down! Works even better with the battery grip and D5 battery. Battery life is good, with the D5 battery amazing! The video quality is also top notch.
Build quality; Screen size
Up to 7 fps; use the MB-D18 Multi Battery Power Pack with the EN-EL18b Rechargeable Lithium-ion Battery and shoot full resolution up to 9 fps.
Best camera I had in 30 years AF-technique. Not perfect and I still need my D500 too! The monitor should be fully moveable and the Live-View AF must get faster. It's all about lenses - I had Canon for 20 years with all great lenses (1.2/50, 1.2/85, 2.0/135, 2.8/300, 2.8/400, 5.6/800) so switching...
I have used many Nikon cameras over the years starting with a D3, D300, D800e, D500 and most recently a D5 and have no doubt that the D850 is the best of all! It combines most of the D5s features, exceeds the resolution of the previous D800 serious, gives great battery life, 7 fp, and the most...
Durable; Great Features; Great Picture Quality; Simple Controls
Absolutely top class. Owned since December 2017. Previous owners of the D610, D750 and D810. The D750 had a more beautiful grip than the D810, but the D810 was technically superior to the D750. The D850 is a combination of them both but filled with the absolute newest.
At the end of the day, I can’t help feeling like I’m bearing witness to some sort of awesome, formidable Megafauna. Which, as every elementary school kid will tell you, is quite possibly the second-coolest thing ever. (The first, of course, being dinosaurs themselves.
Hyped as Nikon's best ever professional DSLR, the full frame D850 serves up a stunning all-round performance
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
This is the ultimate DSLR, with strong features and abilities to do all the tasks. It won't let you down.
45.7-megapixel sensor captures exceptionally fine detail; Fast viewfinder autofocus with silent shooting option in Live View; Rear thumb-operated sub-selector for fast AF point positioning; Extremely good 1840-shot battery life;
No phase detection AF in Live View; Touchscreen operation doesn’t include key exposure settings; Wireless SnapBridge connectivity needs improvement;
The fiver matches DPReview's Gold Award for the best DSLR money can buy...and this is not even Nikon's flagship model. On my lowly Nikon 50mm f1.8 AF it proves to be the sharpest lens in my inventory, easily beats out the 105mm Micro -Nikkor VR which I rented to test because I already have a 55...
