Pros: Dynamic range. Sharpness. Color rendition. Excellent ergonomics in my hand. Weather sealing. Excellent auto focus especially in low light. Many advanced in camera features. Dedicated back button focus. Very good at high ISO considering almost 46mp. 7 frames a second without grip is incredible at almost 46mp.

Cons: Silly 2 different types of card slots. If like me you want the use second card slot as the backup card when on safari, the XQD card is only as good as the SD card for storage and speed of clearing buffer. Should really be 2 XQD cards in my opinion. Stupid prices for OEM battery grip. Despite Nikon advising same processor as D5 I do not think you should believe auto focus is as fast as D5.

Opinion: I have had this camera for almost a year and this is not the perfect DSLR neither do I believe there is such a camera. However, I think this is Nikon's best all around DSLR ever and for most people I cannot think you could want for much better. I rate this camera 9.5/10 because no camera is perfect but the D850 is very close!!! My primary DLSR for the next 5 years! I love my D750 but this camera is 20% better all around. Zero regrets purchasing this camera!

Pros: The Ultimate Reflex in Everything: A Very High-Resolution Sniper

Cons: being a reflex, the fb focus accordingly and the now shortage of new generation lenses, tropicalization (Marc Adamus killed one without too much difficulty after years of D800, so something in the construction has changed from before)

Opinion: Once, used, resold: a beautiful machine, definitive, but when I put it in the backpack with a 15-30 and a 100-400 I regretted the choice: very heavy, very cumbersome, defects that you know at the time of purchase (and in fact the mistake is mine, not the machine), and that either you are willing to accept, or they become a really big obstacle. For the rest, the machine is a sniper if the lenses are calibrated properly: the aforementioned tamron 15-30 g1 made me sacrament and not little for the fb focus, intrinsic defect of dslr technology and emphasized with the mega-resolutions of these beasts: until 2015 no one knew what it was in fact... Returning to the machine, being a reflex is a disadvantage even from the point of view of the optical park: Nikon has not released a landscape lens for years now, and it is rather worrying as an attitude, a factor to take into account if you want to invest in a long-term project. Is weight a problem? Not in the absolute sense, it is not the half kg of body that makes you prefer one machine or the other, but it is the weight of the system the problem: the lenses from ML are on average all lighter than a 20/30%, and if you want to make a pro kit, the grams become kg. Would I take it back? yes, but more for the sake of nostalgic memories, for the wielding of a reflex, the last real reflex, than for a real investment. Is it valid? Absolutely, but the bayonet Nikon F will have short, undeniable life. How are the files? the beautiful nikon files, where you can recover even a black shot, 46mpx, corrected of the defects of the ancestor generation (d800). It's a vitaminized d810 and made definitive

Pros: Perfect and sturdy body, outstanding high iso ,46mpx!!

Cons: Maybe lack flash but with this machine is not needed in my opinion!!

Opinion: Exceptional body ,really fantastic this d850 then using touch screen is cool not to mention high crazy iso ,in front of a reflex like this not mirrorless that holds because it is a perfect body for all kinds of photos!! I gave inside the old d800e and I thought I was wrong but I assure you that the d850 surpasses it on all points of view!! Great nikon!!

Pros: All

Cons: various accessories,pro lenses,performing computer.

Opinion: bought at the end of July to replace the d500,I was impressed by the quality of the images, low iso churns out files that the d500 you dream of, the autofocus is the same as the d5 and d500 very performance-efficient,holds the iso discreetly, has an excellent balance of white and a excellent viewfinder.in my humble opinion I find it almost perfect no I can find a flaw except accessories to buy apart that cost a crazy, I explain better: if we want to bring maximum performance in terms of speed 9 fps you have to buy battery grip en-el18,battery en-el18 battery charge card xqd,the all original costs almost as much as half body machine.from the best of itself with professional lenses and needs in post production a performing computer given the heaviness of the files especially if you shoots in raw, each file weighs almost 120 mb.in summary the advice great for me the d850 is extraordinary apart from the problems mentioned above.

Pros: Excellent ergonomics in use with any type of lens, especially long ones, where a decent grip is mandatory and due. Maximum expression reflex of these years, I do not think you have to ask for anything else, it has just everything that it takes to take photographs. What Interests me. Excellent balance of white, improved a lot compared to the old pixels of the Nikon house, and finally orientable screen, which given the landscape vocation of the medium was required loudly, although in my opinion, it lightens a little the room structure making it a somewhat fragile point. In-room Focus Stacking, really interesting feature for landscape and macro, does everything on its own and you can set up to 200 consecutive and interspersed shots of how many seconds you prefer, as long as you use compatible AF-S or motorized lenses. Goodbye then macro slide for macro photographers. Well-cushioned shot of the pentamirror finally after two veraion of pixelated rooms, this does not give some sort of problems, really something welcome and strongly wanted on this type of cameras.

Cons: I can say that its Battery Grip and dedicated battery, if you want to reach 9fps, cost a lot, if we also add the original charger for the EN-EL4B/C, you really have to wonder if it's worth it. It certainly applies to those who have important and expensive kits of mirror lenses, and for those people who think they will stay with reflex for a long time to come. I myself love pentaprism vision and abhor the ML screen vision, which is unnatural and still contrived. It forces you to purchase XQD cards if you need a consistent burst, a sore note given the cost of them and the lack of availability on the market. With the new firmware, however, the use of cfexpress is available, which should be released at the end of 2019/early 2020, since it is also thought that the new ML machine bodies will be updated with this standard. Yield high iso slightly lower than the old D810. Many mpx on a CMOS are made to feel, although BSI, technology now at the pole and not easily improved in the future given the total exploitation of potential of this type of sensor. I shoot much louder than the old D810, also in Quiet function, a feature to be taken into account when buying.

Opinion: The use for a year now, combined with the D500 which has more accentuated/effective bursts and AF, which I use for BIF, is a machine that returns files really rich in detail, especially if used at low iso, for landscape and study. I bought it for semistatic birdlife, and I would say that even in that area it behaves very well, it has many mpx, but it is also quite fast, something in which the D810 I had before was lacking. Setting AF and layout identical to D5/D500, when I switch from aps to this, and when I use telephoto lenses, I find myself perfectly in the feeling of use, having at hand all the settings that are totally customizable as on the flagship, except a little bit, which of course the D5 has in addition. After having almost all the DX nikons and many FX (not flagships, however), I would like to say that it is the best machine I have had in my possession since I started with photography. In fact, it has condensed all the peculiarities of specialized rooms such as landscaping/sports allowing an allround use really with extreme satisfaction, I think one of the last reflex (it will pass in full to ML in the next decade-I think) built with the sacred crims. If you are in Nikon, it is worth honoring to photograph with such a medium that it returns satisfaction whenever you make a photo output with the intention of expressing something with photography. It is certainly not a sollazzo machine given the grandeur and the quality of construction/heaviness. If you like well-built, solid objects that are made to last and do few things, and well, buy it. You won't be disappointed.
