I have the D500 and D800 so should have a flying start, but acquiring the D850 sends me back to school. What a camera! Instruction books always confuse me and if I look for some genuinely informed video presentations, the videos are mostly never complete and tend to be unstructured.. So your clear and very comprehensive run through is a dream “go to “ for me. Very many thanks....many hours of frustrating hunting for information has been saved.

@MaartenHeilbron 5 лет назад

How kind of you to take the time to comment with such nice words, they are appreciated, thanks!

@youareinflames 7 лет назад

you have the reviews that in 20 years people can go back and still find it very helpful, because its actually informative, unlike many who just praise the new gadget without any depth.

@MaartenHeilbron 7 лет назад

What a pleasure to read your kind words, thanks for taking the time to comment.

@iyzyz 7 лет назад

Your reviews go so far and beyond anyone else. Well done good sir.

@MaartenHeilbron 7 лет назад

Thanks - kind words are always appreciated.

@D-Professor 6 лет назад

Maarten, I recall viewing your review of the Nikon D500. I indicated then that it was unequivocally the best review of the camera I had seen. Your review help cement my decision to purchase the D500. This time around, I went ahead and purchased the D850 to replace my D810 before seeing your review of the D850. Yet, reviewing it now, I find it just as informative, well thought out, superbly presented, and quite frankly yet one of the finest reviews I've seen. Thank you again.

@MaartenHeilbron 6 лет назад

I very much appreciate your kind words, thanks for taking the time to comment.

@fritzsound 2 года назад

@Luigi13 5 лет назад

I should say honestly that Nikon should be glad to have you as a reviewer you have a very natural style doing this and is very detailed that kept me quite in focus for the whole episode of this review. Great?

@MaartenHeilbron 5 лет назад

Thanks for your kind words. They know.

@TheBabyBobot 6 лет назад

Finally a pure true honest extremely well detailed and rich review, empty of personal styles and tastes, intelligent will thought comments, delivered at an energetic pace, with a myriad of examples and comparisons. Where have you been all my life!. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

@MaartenHeilbron 6 лет назад

A great pleasure to read your kind words, thanks for taking the time to comment.

@davishall3 6 лет назад

Your D850 video is the best I'm seen. Clear and, well, personal. I've only had the camera a few days, but I very much appreciated your humor and intelligence. You seem to have some fun demonstrating the features, even if a few were annoying.

@MaartenHeilbron 6 лет назад

A pleasure to read your kind words - thanks for taking the time to comment. And you're right, I have fun doing this.

@mohanturaga6304 7 лет назад

If this is the last DSLR from Nikon, it could become a collector's item! As it is the features are terrific! Congratulations for an extensive and excellent review.

@MaartenHeilbron 7 лет назад

Aren't they all collector's items? Thanks for your kind words, appreciated.

@mohanturaga6304 7 лет назад

The first and last have special status, I think. It marks the beginning and end of an era.

@MaartenHeilbron 7 лет назад

Well, let’s hope it’s not the last.

@iu1191 7 лет назад

What an amazing review and tutorial. Amazing. I own and use the Nikon D750 and see no reason to upgrade, (I'm no pro and the outlay is simply unjustifiable), however this is a dream camera! Thank you so much Maarten. You truly are the best reviewer on the web!

@MaartenHeilbron 7 лет назад

Thank you for your kind words - a pleasure to read. I appreciate that you took the time to comment.

@StevenScholten 7 лет назад

I own a 5D Mark IV. Won't change that but this is a GREAT camera. I feel that this review is heaven for people thinking about getting a D850. What a great review Maarten EXCELENT!!

@MaartenHeilbron 7 лет назад

I'm so pleased you took the time to comment - thank you very much for your kind words. If I owned a 5D I probably wouldn't change either.

@MaartenHeilbron 7 лет назад

How kind of you to take the time to comment and say such pleasant things. Appreciated.

@kpsabdcihatmehmet965 7 лет назад

Getting to know virtually everythig about the camera with this excellent review. Martin does this very well. But seeing more of your personal opinions about image quality and performance would be even more helpful.

@MaartenHeilbron 7 лет назад

Thanks for the kind words, always appreciated. I feel that video is an insufficient tool to convey image quality of a camera with more than 8Mp, so I generally leave that to the web reviews - CNet, dpreview and dxomark.

@peterzpictstube 7 лет назад

Maarten this your best review so far. So much info.

@MaartenHeilbron 7 лет назад

It's also my longest (and you should see my cutting room floor!) ... thanks for your kind words.

@billycullen6832 7 лет назад

Thank you for explaining the use of the Nikon Settings. I laughed when you said, “If you can remember how you got to that setting.” That was a relief to hear. I thought I had a bad memory.

All humans have bad memories. It's a design flaw, but we work hard to overcome it.

Thank you, a thorough, beautifully composed review. How can a run through of a vast feature set be interesting. Well, you have shown just how. Have knowledge behind it and drop those explanations in where they can value while varying the scenery in response to the current area of interest. Terrific (and mamoth) job. Cheers!

@MrVonEvil 6 лет назад

Another very nice video. I remember watching your review of the Sony RX10III at about the time I purchased it (my first "real" camera) and now I stumbled across this review after ordering the D850. As always I find your method of reviewing very meticulous, informational and entertaining. Though in this particular video I miss a verdict on the camera overall. Thanks for the nice video and I am looking forward to your future work.

@MaartenHeilbron 6 лет назад

I appreciate your interest in my work and your kind words, thank you.

@TheEstibon 6 лет назад

Great video, I haven't purchased the D850 yet, but when I do i will come back to review this video again, as it seems to be the most in depth video I have seen on the 850. thanks for a great explanation of the Nikon D850.

@MaartenHeilbron 6 лет назад

Thanks, that's very kind of you to say.

@christosphillips3568 7 лет назад

Mr. Heilbron you've just earned my respect, (above all), my like and my subscription. You sir along with a few (no more than a few unfortunately), other presenters, are a breath of fresh air in a world full of garbage videos in YT. I am amazed by how methodical, clear , precise and agonizingly factual your review process is, and also loved your scientific approach to the more technical aspects of this presentation. I really was very pleasantly surprised , as I thought that I have seen it all before. If I had to rate your review on the D850 I would happily give it a flawless 10 out of 10. Great staff thanks for sharing, keep em rolling and we are here to enjoy, thanks again and god bless.

@MaartenHeilbron 7 лет назад

Wow! What a pleasure to read your kind and generous words - thank you very much. I do assume that I should take "agonizingly factual" as a compliment? And I'll pass your comment along to the staff.

@michaeldutsonlandscapephot2184 5 лет назад

Maarten, just a quick note to say thanks for the in-depth, sensible and concise review. I've taken the plunge and the D850 is now on order and the D810 will be passed on to somebody else. Great video too, thank you again, and keep up the great work!

@MaartenHeilbron 5 лет назад

That's very kind of you to say, it's always good to know I've provided useful information.

@ThoughtMachine1 5 лет назад

Best D850 review I've seen, of many. Quite impressive, thank you.

@MaartenHeilbron 5 лет назад

That's very kind of you to say, thanks for commenting .

@robertcooke8684 5 лет назад

Maarten..... a question for you, does this camera have a factory reset button facility so basicaly if you make a mess of setting the camera up, you can revert all the settings back as to when the camera came out of the box? excellent presentation and review!!!!

@MaartenHeilbron 5 лет назад

Not a full reset as some do (so you don't reset the time, the wifi, etc), but there are several menu sections where a return to default settings can be done.

@arupsan Год назад

It’s unique review in style I never came across in others. I subscribed immediately

@MaartenHeilbron Год назад

Thanks!! Always nice to hear from viewers who appreciate my approach.

@lylecameron5578 7 лет назад

Great review; thanks. I subscribed. Question: If I shoot a picture in FX mode and crop, is quality the same as shooting in DX mode and not cropping? Also, what is advantage of shooting video in DX instead of FX mode? Again, thanks!

@MaartenHeilbron 7 лет назад

Thanks for your kind words, and your subscription. Yes, doing a manual crop from an FX image is (more or less) the same as using the camera to crop to DX - you are creating a lower resolution image from lower pixels. The advantage of shooting in DX mainly applies to video, where with a minimal loss of quality (even 4K is only 8 megapixels) you can extend the reach of your lens. For stills, I'd always prefer to capture everything from the sensor and crop as needed in editing. Hope this helps.

@MrJnupe1 5 лет назад

Great job Maarten! I have been shooting with Nikon's for a while now and purchased a D610 2 years ago and recently upgraded to the D850 (after became available) and really appreciate the thoroughness of your review. I will be using the review as a reference. Thank You.

@MaartenHeilbron 5 лет назад

Thanks, I appreciate the kind words. Thanks for taking the time to comment.

@richardmorgan1588 5 лет назад

You have such a unique and pleasant approach to your content! It’s always uplifting to experience your videos! This one is just as informative and insightful as your D500 video! I ended up buying that D500 after watching many videos about that unit! I don’t regret it one bit. It’s by far the best camera I’ve ever had the pleasure to own but watching this one could be dangerous ;-) I mean that with great affection! It’s very apparent you love the craft as much as I do!

@MaartenHeilbron 5 лет назад

Thanks for the kind words, always appreciated.

@joespubfan 7 лет назад

I can’t figure out if there’s a way to keep the single focus point from resetting itself to center. Is there?

@MaartenHeilbron 3 года назад

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for your kind words.

@MassimosFotografie 7 лет назад

First of all, thank you for your excellent review of the D850, it must have taken a lot of time and dedication. I have a few questions, and I'm sure you have the right answers in stock! 1. When SnapBridge receives the pictures from the D850, is it only possible to transfer .jpeg's, or are you able to transfer RAW files too? 2. What was your setup to record your D850 menu? Thanks in advance

@MaartenHeilbron 7 лет назад

It’s always my pleasure - and thank you for your kind words and recognition of the effort involved. 1) JPEGS only (2MB size or original) 2) I use an Atomos Shogun from the HDMI.

@juliemoose4948 6 лет назад

If this is the last dslr to be made by Nikon is it a bad time to upgrade and spend the money on it? Is holding out for the Nikon Mirrorless a better option? Loved the video and info. Thanks so much!

@MaartenHeilbron 6 лет назад

I appreciate the kind words, thanks. Well, yes and no - if Nikon gets it right, it could be fabulous - on the other hand not many first generation products solve all the problems. I'm wait and see on this one. However, I would have no hesitation in purchasing the D850.

@markshirley01 6 лет назад

Hi Thanks for the great work - how did you find the D850 for video - is the touch to focus of any use

@MaartenHeilbron 6 лет назад

It is, and it works well - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Xn8rkKBDiIE.html

@beltenebrosgr1904 7 лет назад

Why don't you have more subscribers is beyond me Mr Maarten... Maybe kindness and thoroughness is boring for people nowadays. You really should have at least 100000 subscribers, hopefully that happens sooner than later. Looking forward to your Sony Rx0 review. Take care.

@MaartenHeilbron 7 лет назад

That’s very kind of you - I’m very happy with the status of my channel on all levels. I hope to get to that before the end of the year ... the next Sony is RX10 IV, which is on its way.

@robertcooke8684 5 лет назад

You man are awesome!!!!! one hell of a clever and talented guy....... this is my next camera as was told by a friend this set up of equipment is in the top 5 in world for excellence........ you have confirmed that and your hands on view is first class although i will admit to watching and taking it into my rather average brain at the 0.75 speed!!!

@MaartenHeilbron 5 лет назад

Thanks Maarten, another amazing review. I believe Nikon did great job with this camera, it is really pro camera, amazing for wedding photography, for sports specially with the grip and 9 FPS, also I see it wildlife camera when we turn the DX mode and get the benefit of the large view finder. Thanks again for this nice review. Your channel one of the channels inspired me to create my channel. Thanks.

@scottabergermd 6 лет назад

Great review Maarten. Did you love the camera, like it, or was it just ok? How was it compared to the Sony A9 and A7Riii?

@MaartenHeilbron 6 лет назад

Thanks for the kind words. It's more than OK, but as a video shooter - and I don't mean to imply that the D850 isn't a more than capable video camera - I prefer mirrorless, which seem to be happier to shoot video than a DSLR. I'm not convinced of any need to have 40+megapixels, or full frame, so If you were to put all three on the table in front of me, and tell me they were the same price, I'd ask if I could have the A7 III instead. That said, If I owned a D850, I would not be trading it in for either the A9 or the A7R III. But that would be true of all three. Does that help?

@scottabergermd 6 лет назад

Thanks Maarten.

@MaartenHeilbron 6 лет назад

I just need towatch this 40 more times and figure out how you got tosome of these places.im doing very well with it on the picture side but my brain hurts now. great vid. I intend to watch all your reviews and tutorials. your video on the 72oo was grat also. im on my 8th Nikon and hope to see all of them. id love to see one on the d3 and 810. I kn ow the d3 is a stretch. thank you so much fo all the time you must have put into this.

@tw9535 7 лет назад

Awesome review! The last optical viewfinder camera before electronic screens take over EVERYTHING we look at? Sad. I need to really save up... and take two.

@MaartenHeilbron 7 лет назад

Maybe they will use a hybrid like Fuji on the X-Pro series.

@tw9535 7 лет назад

I could live with that. I think I read that Nikon really wants the best EVF experience on its upcoming mirrorless cameras.... so maybe they will copy the idea that the best EVF is one that is PAIRED WITH AN OVF. Or maybe standalone OVFs could plug in and integrate with the mirrorless EVF cameras as add-on pieces?

@MaartenHeilbron 7 лет назад

Let’s keep our fingers crossed.

@InMission 6 лет назад

Amazing review, love it. That's the kind of review people should do it, not pushing anyone to buy anything, but showing with great details what's good, what's not so good, and so on. I really enjoy your review, thank you. I don't know if I miss, if not, that would be the only thing missing, how bad is to work with the files, since I assume 46mb would creat monster files and that might generate a problem, like a new computer, external drives, etc... I'm don't know if it is the case, I'm just assuming, but that could be a big factor some people, since it would increase substantially the investment, it would be for me.

@MaartenHeilbron 6 лет назад

Thanks, I appreciate the kind words. Yup, they're big files - but really, the cost of memory cards, or an additional hard drive should be affordable if you're buying this camera.

@InMission 6 лет назад

Well, I just saw your review on the Fuji XH1 and since I sold all my equipment, I might buy Fuji instead. Not sure yet, I still suspect that Nikon will announce either or both, APS-C and Full frame mirrorless camera and if they follow the steps of the D850, it will be the camera. I use Nikon since the F3hp, when I jumped from my Minolta. Same thing happens back then, I manage to sell all my equipment to a very good price. So now, I'm again free to decide where to go next and if the XH1 is as good on real life as it is on paper, it will probably be my next move. I want to wait for Nikon, because I really want full frame, but if there's now announcement by the CP+2018, I'll the Fuji. Fuji has being a great temptation since the XT-1. I love the system because of the lenses, they are gorgeous, I love the dials, Ergonomics it just feel way more home then with the new DSLR's. Thanks again for your work, I really enjoy your reviews.

@MaartenHeilbron 6 лет назад

I'm anxious to find out what Nikon is up to also, but the Fuji X-H1 is a very exciting camera.

@cactustweeter2890 7 лет назад

Maarten this may be a dumb question, but is there any way to take advantage of the still image autofocus functionality when shooting video? No way to set a focus point and then focus. Move to another point and pull focus to that point?

@MaartenHeilbron 7 лет назад

Yes, that’s what I’m demonstrating when I rack the focus from one tulip to another. Use either touch or the focus joystick to select the point.

@cactustweeter2890 7 лет назад

Sorry my question was badly worded. I guess video can only be captured on a DSLR during live view because that's the only time the mirror is up and out of the way. Live view only has contrast detect autofocus because of the way phase detect autofocus works. Thus it's not possible to leverage the phase detect autofocus functionality of stills while recording video. Maarteen did I get that about right?

@MaartenHeilbron 7 лет назад

Most mirrorless cameras (which only have liveview mode) now have phase detect, so it's not particular to the liveview system. But, yes, you have that right. I suppose that either the complexity or the cost has prevented Nikon from including phase detect for liveview mode.

@swaygfx 6 лет назад

Hello sir...I am planning to buy a new DSLR body and I would like to know your suggestions. I like shooting nature, landscapes, bird, wildlife and sometimes monuments, and I am quite determined to buy the D500. Should I buy that? Or should I wait, save some more money and go for the D850?

@MaartenHeilbron 6 лет назад

Your determination seems well-focussed (sorry) to me. Get the d500, you will not regret that decision.

Fantastic video as always Maarten. I need a suggestion from you, My areas of interests in photography are Macro, Landscapes, street and environmental portraits. Being a graphic designer I’m very particular about quality of image I get. Currently I’m using Fujifilm X-T2 and quite happy with it, yet I feel not good enough for landscapes and Astro photography. Currently I have 35mm Lens, is it worth investing further on Fuji lenses as the cost of Fuji and Nikon FX lenses are almost similar. Or... Should I invest in D850 or wait for Nikon FF mirrorless? Request your suggestions sir.

@MaartenHeilbron 6 лет назад

That's very kind of you to say, thank you. Yes, there are good lenses for those needs, although you might consider an extension tube for macro work. The 23mmF2 is good for street, it's small and fast (both aperture and focus).

Thanks for your video reports. I am impressed "JUST GOT A NEW CAMERA. MY QUESTION IS with D850 camera, which type of Lense is better to take a nice Still picture of 1/2/inch glossy tissue slide"?

@MaartenHeilbron 2 года назад

A pleasure to read your kind words. I'm not sure I understand what a "glossy tissue slide" is, but if it's a small object (going by the 1/2") a macro lens would be the best option.

@RickRicksMotorbikeChannel 7 лет назад

Would shooting at iso 64 gain more dynamic range in video? A stop more?

@MaartenHeilbron 7 лет назад

I don't think so - but that's an interesting test - as long as they don't "hide" the actual setting with a term like "Lo", I'm pretty sure it would affect the dynamic range. With Lo, sometimes there's a small loss.

Nlce job I've been looking at the 850 . Nikon has come out with two mirrorless but they dont seem to be replacements for the 850 so far unless your into video. I think this is a choice Nikon made so that the next mirrorless will be more on par to the 850 or surpass it. Whether that camera shows its' face near xmas or sometime next year hard to know since I dont follow Nikon that closely. I know it is still one step behind. My guess would be the next camera will be built stronger have a higher 50 mp or higher chip. Dual mem card slot and fix some of the complaints on the other two. So I figure the z6-7 are the transitional models. Since I am not a pro the 850 should last me a few years fine then if the next best mirrorless is out I can trade it in. Thank you for the review.

Maarten, Please suggest me for Nikon d750 or d850 . As you already played in your videos. I am planning to move on Full frame . So i just want to make long investment in this . Which one will be my companion for long term. I check out so many videos & blogs for both but need your guidance. Even more my genres are Portrait, Wedding ,Street photography also Wildlife . So please suggest me with strong reason.

@MaartenHeilbron 5 лет назад

Both are good choices for all of those types of photography. If you're very pro, you'll want the increased resolution or the 4K video capability.

I see you picked up on the limited buffer, but you didn't mention that Nikon says it's bigger.

@MaartenHeilbron 7 лет назад

Previously the limit had been 100, so yes, it's bigger, but.

@thiagodacunha8503 6 лет назад

Hello Maarten. Any suggestions on why the wifi is always greyed out? I have full batteries and a Nikon lens but still can't get the wifi to work. The "'this option is not available at current settings or in the cameras current state" comes out.

@MaartenHeilbron 6 лет назад

I wish I could help, but it's difficult to understand what might be wrong without having the camera in my hands. I'd try to do a settings reset to see if that resolves it. Try P mode, single exposure drive setting ... not sure what else to suggest.

great informative review , im just waiting for my D850 to be delivered and found this video this is my dream camera been saving a while to get it plus a couple of lenses nikkor 24-120mm f4 and sigma 14-24mm f2.8 im mainly a landscape cityscape photographer upgrading from the D7100 i got back in 3013 on release always dreamed of going full frame and now the price has come down enough for a two lens purchase along with the body thank you for making this review instruction video much appreciated

Thank you very much for creating this video, really helpful I love that I'm able to navigate to what interest me with the mentioned time I woukd like to ask your opinion, I'm a wedding photographer, as you may be aware, many times we shoot in low light conditions. I use a D610 and D750, Do you think its advisable to upgrade to a D5 just to get that ISO capabilities, not else Interest me in D5, or should I buy the d850 Please advise. Thanks

@MaartenHeilbron 6 лет назад

Thanks, I appreciate your kind words. There are many ways to resolve low light situations, however the benefit that you are hoping for will be minimal by upgrading to the D850. I’d recommend faster lenses, or better lighting. Many wedding photographers use several slave flashes in the reception hall bouncing from ceilings and walls to good effect. Hope this helps.

A new question Maarten, how can I change in the D850 the autofocus mode, from AF C to AF S. It does not let me change it by pressing the AF mode button, it just changes me, the focus points. Thanks for your help.

@pixelgenau2982 2 года назад

I‘m thinking of switching from my X-T4 to this camera. Mostly because of excellent DR. Is the D850 weather proof the same way as the Fuji is? The same question goes to Nikkor lenses like the 16-35 f4.

@MaartenHeilbron 2 года назад

Weather sealing (such as it is) is about the same. Although there is lots to like about the D850, if you are doing this for DR, you may be disappointed.

@pixelgenau2982 2 года назад

@@MaartenHeilbron Thanks for your reply. I am really surprised at your statement about DR of Nikon cameras. A lot of other professionals on YT emphasize DR on Nikons particularly. I have seen a guy shooting just one picture in a high dynamic situation while others around him had to use bracketing to gain the same amount of DR. I am using an X-T4 and often have to shoot in bracketing mode. Looking for a replacement. I don't care about AF, because I don't use it. What system would you recommend for best DR since I don't have the money for an GFX and their high price lenses? I see the APS-C sensor reaching its limit and the next logical step would be a full frame system. I see myself as an ambitious amateur photographer. Another reason is battery life. I like the idea of having a camera where your battery lasts much longer.
