  • Image Quality, Nikon's best attempt at an OVF, Handling,
  • Big size, I'm over DSLRs at this point despite the fact that I acknowledge them as fantastic image making devices, The Nikon D850 is an absolutely fantastic camera in so many ways. Need great image quality? The Nikon D850 arguably has some of the best on
  • Upon initial thoughts, the Nikon Z7 has a whole lot going for it except, you know, the single card slot and a card format that almost no photographer uses. But at the heart, there is a 45.7MP BSI full frame sensor that is capable of producing images that...

  • The introduction of the first BSI sensor in a full-frame Nikon DSLR with a super-high 45.7Mp resolution puts the Nikon D850's image quality on par with, and often better than, medium-format cameras. The first DSLR to hit 100 points — rather apt for Nikon'...

  • Spectacular levels of detail, 7fps, 9fps with grip, 4K full frame video
  • Lower buffer capacity at 9fps, Needs fast memory cards, Pedestrian live view AF
  • The D850 looks like the perfect do-it-all DSLR for professional photographers, but at this price it could appeal to a large number of ambitious amateurs too. It does have a couple of limitations, but overall its combination of resolution, continuous shoot...

  • 45.7Mp full-frame back-illuminated sensor, 7fps continuous shooting (9fps with optional MB-D18 Multi-Power Battery Pack), 153-point Flagship AF system,
  • High price, AF points clustered around the centre of the frame, Live View and Video focusing system lags behind the competition
  • Because of its combination of high pixel count and fast shooting rate along with a wide sensitivity range, Nikon is pitching the D850 as two cameras in one and it's a reasonable argument that makes the launch price (£3,499.99/$3,296.95) a little more pala...
