Nikon D850 (2024) | Watch Before You Buy 

I second this - have my D700 since 2009 and did a whole lot of professional work with it - weedings, company events, food photography etc. etc.. The thing is, that only other photographers ever complain about cameras being too old. The average client doesn't even recognize it if I had to crop a 12 Megapixel image of the D700 - which I regularly did. My photos have been in print media of all sorts - and for me everything came down to the dynamic range and the capability to shoot in low light. My D700 'can shoot in a coal mine with available light only' I often used to say. The used D850 body I bought only just recently has yet to prove that it is that good for my kind of photography. And what is only rarely mentioned ... the material and build quality has obviously decreased from the D700 to the D850. You simply feel it, even when only pressing the knobs. I would not be surprised if the D700 still works after the D850 failed on me in a couple of years of heavy use.

Up the D700 massive!!

​@@andrewoneill144i have D700 with batterygrip and with Sigma 85mm Art on, its a heavy thing 😅

Exactly what I was thinking

He’s actually saying that the D850 is a modern camera but a bit older than current modern cameras and is missing some of the features of 2024 cameras in comparison to 2018 cameras such as the d850,we all know the D850 is unparalleled

r u delusional, ofc its old

Kids these days claiming that one must have the most "modern" camera with all the bells and whistles when they can't even or don't use the majority of them. Try going back to the 110 days (google it if you're younger than 40)! The 850 is fantastic camera, so it doesn't shoot in 4k 60fps. Unless you're a pro, do you even need it? That's the question isn't it? Do you actually need all the bells and whistles? a 45mp sensor with 7fps may not give you what you want for serious action shots (speed that is), but for the vast majority of users, it's a beast! I shoot with a D500 and it's a killer camera. If anyone wants to hand me a 850, I won't say no, but I won't go buy one unless I need to.

What @user-cc6gt3re1p wrote. Nothing more to add. Great review. Thanks.

me to dont do video shoot a d4s and d850 sold on the z6...........

Couldnt agree more , for complete night time photography stars etc , fantastic (the trinity can be had for the price of 1 new z lens , ) my older vrii lenses are as good as my new fl ed vr lenses , i couldnt do without the shutter ,the camera can be used silently to 15 frames a second if needed , its a stunner

This is my plan for 2024 too..

@@tonypmediaRight?

"capable street setup" 🤯🤣

@@Huginn1000if Samuel from Samuelstreetlife can shoot street with a D850, it can clearly be done.

​@@Huginn1000I do street with a Nikon D3 which is huge and I'm doing just fine. You'll sorta develop a style doing street with a DSLR

Theyre a fantastic camera ,any editing i do is only in camera toutch ups only , day or night ,

Its a great camera, but i wanna stress that there are alot more features in newer cameras that make them worth the upgrade

I have a Z9, a D850 and 2 D750s and I also still shoot film with an F6, F5 and 3 F100s. The D850 is only more camera for most people who are BEGINNERS. By the time you know anything about photography and its potential, the D850 is an IDEAL CAMERA especially for those who don't want to or can't make the transition to mirrorless for financial reasons.

My d750 is my go-to even though I have a z62

You are right....still using my 9 year old D750😊

oh thats interesting. I was told by all the nikon shooters its the battery grip. but that makes it has to be the right battery aswell

@@TechThroughTheLens To obtain 9fps you will need the EN-EL18a which is a 10.8 volt 2500mAh Lithium-ion battery. This is the type of batteries used in D4 and D5. Between the cost of this battery + the dedicated charger, be ready to spend ~$1000. However you may be able to find some used one for much cheaper.

yea, I just purchased the D850 thru Nikon, since they're having that financing sale.

@@gordon9177 didn't know about this sale, shall check it out

Great review - Got mine 3 months ago! I’d say not being able to quickly accessing menu setting is not entirely correct / @2:23 You can create a “my menu” with any frequently used camera settings and assign it to a custom button. Key function of the camera (and on several Nikons)

the sony a6700/ sony fx3 or sony zve1

@@TechThroughTheLens what?😂😭 I'm asking what lens should I get for the nikon d 850

look at the sigma art lens. SO sharp, so fast, so cheap.

100% D850! ✌

I think the kit lens might just be best for that price. I would try to snag a 16mm 2.8 , its about 240 usd

@@TechThroughTheLens Thank you very much for the suggestion

hey i check the links. they should all take you to the canon t7. But the canon t100 is fair camera, not bad. but the t7 is definitly better. As a beginer. it won't make a huge difference, practicing is the main thing.

Well thanks, at least I just have to get a better lens now and not replace the entire sodding camera just because I'm a stupid arse

I agree and omg the 45mp sensor is insane

What about the Nikon D810??

with the battery grip its pretty chunky. without the battery grip its not too heavy

I guess it depends, I don't have any problems using my D850 with a heavy lens like the Sigma Art 70-200 for a few hours, and I am not fit in any way.

I am not sure if I've been unlucky with my Tamron 150-600 G2 since after lying in my bag for a few years it had to go getting a repair in which they changed the controller board, but I would do as you said, get a Sigma. I don't trust Tamron after this and I do have quite a few Sigma(Art).

RIGHT!!

@@jameshall2882 like why would anyone move from a nikon D850 to a damn canon r6 when Nikon has the Z9, Z8 and Zf,

@@LMoProVisualComm The Z8 is such a beast! And the ZF is the best looking camera last 20 years with some nice features too.

Uhhh, no, it isn't because the newer mirrorless cameras have eclipsed it. I have one and a Z9 and I like the D850, but it will never be OVERKILL.

​@@paulconnors2078 if you shoot sports sure, birds in flight too, it's not over kill, still a very capable camera. anything else... mirrorless takes the same picture. only the d850 has a magical sensor. only my GFX100S can keep up with it.

Yes you are right 850 best....this fish here only want to say that he has a z9 but if he was a profi he would know how good the 850 is but he is anly a loser

@@paulconnors2078 are you sure you know how to use a camera properly? D850 for almost all types of photography every time. Z9 video for sure but as a photographers tool the D850 takes some beating , what photographer takes videos???. And in terms of what you can capture, it comes down to the photographer not the camera. The D850 is more than good enough and better than all the mirrorless in my opinion.

@@markhickson9087 Hey Mark, I'm a retired military combat photographer. I think I know how to use a camera, having done so now for more than 50 years. Kiss my A$$.

i gotchu

but we have long hair now

@@TechThroughTheLens That's true though. The long hair is sweet but but the beards make you look like a boss 😊
