great camera-too bad Nikon deceived us all by reducing their prices on these cameras after we just purchased them

Moving up from a D810 I'm pleasantly surprised about the upgrade. Sadly it is probably the last DSLR and Nikon is moving to mirrorless.

Great camera!!! I'm sure that I will never use all of the features that it has to offer but I'm glad that as my technical skills improve, this camera body's bells and whistles are available as my knowledge of photography increases.

Absolutely delighted. Nikon is phasing out F mount bodies, so I bought this second one on sale. I have a substantial investment in F mount lenses, and zero interest in moving to mirrorless.

So far I'm left in the d850. You can come from a d90 that I've been shooting with for the past 13 years. Wanted to make the jump to full frame before a big trip that I have planned. The camera feels rugged and there's plenty of tutorials on how to get the most out of the camera.

Beautiful camera with 42 megapixels the quality is unmatched. You could blow a photo of 10 foot and still look good. Highly recommend it.

I have enjoyed my first D850 for 6 years, and decided to purchase a second one as a backup, and a secondary lens setup on my photography ventures. I have no desire for any other camera with this proven winner. Highly recommend!!

I acquired the Nikon D850 upon its release several years ago, primarily for travel photography. While my passion is travel, not professional photography, the camera's strengths are well-documented. However, its significant weight and size present challenges. Extended periods with the camera around my neck are uncomfortable, and accessing it from my backpack while traveling is inconvenient. I predominantly use a zoom lens to minimize lens changes, resulting in underutilization of my 50mm prime lens. Employing primarily manual settings has rekindled skills honed in my youth with a Leica M2. The camera's flash capabilities are exceptional, and I intend to explore the use of dual flash units. Regardless, mastering the D850's full potential necessitates dedicated practice and training. I am 63 merchant marine officer still boarding ships.

I went from a Nikon D3 to a Nikon 850 which was a quantum leap in image quality. Built exceptionally well with good balance in the hands. My only pet peeve is that it doesn't show the exact frame number in the LCD display. Unless I am doing something wrong, it might be because the memory card holds so many images, it would take up too much space in the display. With a new card, mine shows 1.7k, which I assume means 1,700. Otherwise great camera.

After years of being stingy I upgraded to this camera from the D750. Wow! This is terrific and I wish I'd done it sooner. The file sizes are large enough that I can crop out little mistakes around the edges without ruining my shot. The best part is that I was able to keep all my original lenses without adapters. I highly recommend this camera to anyone with a bit of experience shooting.

Purchased a second D850 as a backup to my first one. I have had my first one since 2018. It's a beast, and I would highly recommend it to anyone. I have no desire to go mirrorless.

of course the D850 was great. the bundle, unfortunately was a bunch of low quality product, you would think this fairly high end camera would be bundled with better quality stuff. the memory card was fine. battery is after market. card reader has already failed. bag too small for anything. delivery was super quick. even with the crappy bundle, i am happy with adorama and will shop again.

Great camera! Competitive with current mirrorless and provides native use of F mount lenses which are more affordable and readily available

All I needed was the Nikon 850 but the extras I gave to my kid to use Which was great. The D850 is a strong camera and hopefully will be in the line for a couple more years

Great camera! Competitive with full frame mirrorless bodies (considered Z7II) while maintaining familiar DSLR controls and style. Additionally, great selection of excellent condition DSLR lenses are available from Adorama due to many individuals transitioning to mirrorless. The bundled items were useful and sold me on adorama versus competitors

I just did my first session and the clarity is amazing. The high ISO capabilities are way better than the D610 I used previously. The kit had lots of great extras that buying from Amazon won't give you for the same price.

Despite the releases of so many new cameras, this camera still remains relevant and will continue to be. The ergonomics, the sensor, the image quality, the easy of use and availability of great lenses makes this a keeper.

Bought this camera almost 5 years ago and never looked back. The ergonomics are incredible, the images you capture with this will drop your jaw from the back screen to the big screen, the jpegs SOOC are sublime, as I write this in 2023 in an era where mirrorless is the "future" I confidently say there I have zero desire to "upgrade" unless my D850 and all other D850s around the the world simultaneously combusted along with the schematics to manufacture new D850s. There's a reason why all the new 45mp mirrorless Nikons being are compared to this 5 year old camera when your assumed that they moved on to a newer camera as a point of refrence: because ithe D850 is just that good. Video is an afterthought, features that Nikon merely tacked on to just say they're on there. Outside of static postiion video recordings, I wouldn't choose this for video if that's in your top 3 list of priorities for a camera purchase, this is a stills Jack-of-all-trades tool

Came from Nik 810 and before that 800e. Tried out d850 4 years ago and sensor better if cropping, so really better. Waited for N upgrade with meaningful better sensor, ie., Z series, but pretty close didn't mean worth upgrade for me. Already have range of N primes, zooms, 300 2.8, nik 200mm macro, etc. Yet to pull trigger on 500mm. 20 yr Nikon user. Decided to use existing lenses w D850. I bought 250 mb card which prob don't need as won't be doing video. Point is new cards should be factored into alternative cost of Z9. I thought focus shifting a bonus but doesn't work with my macro lenses that aren't afs, menu grayed out, bummer, as focus shift for macro might be nice. Live view and focus peaking for macro, only in manual mode, works and is useful. That one reason worth keeping, for me. Nikon long telephoto are expensive and so much so that if I add that would strongly consider entire switch to Sony if I decide long tele and birds in flight something I "need."

I couldn't be more pleased with this Nikon D850. I was concerned that, being an amateur, the camera would be too overwhelming. In good ways it is overwhelming! Other reviewers spoke so highly of the Nikon D850 I couldn't resist. So far I have only touched the surface of the capabilities and look forward to learning so much more! Adorama's description of the item (used) was very accurate.

Nikon's Best Landscape Camera
By NatureBuff
The D850 by far is the Best Camera so far that Nikon has developed! The D850 performs excellently in the field and delivers the sharpest photos for landscape photographers. With the Focus Shift (Focus Stacking) feature built-in the camera, it delivers a beautiful and sharp photo from the foreground to infinity. Another feature I really like is the Focus Peaking. The D850 would also be great on Portraits, Weddings, Macro's, Wildlife and so many more fields in photography.
Love it

Extreme resolution meets extreme speed
When Nikon introduced the D800 and D800E, it set a new benchmark for DSLR image quality and super high resolution photography that approached medium format. Now, five years later, Nikon proudly introduces the next evolution in high resolution DSLRs, a camera that allows photographers to capture fast action in 45.7 megapixels of brilliant resolution. With remarkable advancements across the board-sensor design, autofocus, dynamic range, sensitivity, Speedlight control, battery life, shutter and mirror drive mechanisms, Silent Photography in Live-View mode, focus shift capability and more-this is quite possibly the most impressive, well-rounded DSLR yet.
Higher Resolution. Faster Speed. Greater Versatility
Nikon's first back-side illuminated (BSI) full-frame sensor with no optical low-pass filter
At the heart of the D850 is a Nikon designed sensor like none before it-a back-side illuminated (BSI) FX-format full-frame CMOS image sensor with 45.7 megapixels and no optical low-pass filter. A marvel of ingenuity, it achieves extraordinary image quality, enhanced light gathering efficiency, faster data readout and truer color. And with such a dense array of pixels, there's virtually no risk of moire.
Faster, richer, sharper processing
Faster than EXPEED 4, EXPEED 5 quickly processes all 45.7 megapixels of data for lower noise, wider dynamic range, subtle tonal and textural details, high-speed continuous shooting at approx. 9 fps and full-frame 4K UHD movie recording.
Sensitive to every little detail
The lower the ISO, the greater the dynamic range. Like the D810 before it, the D850 has the lowest base ISO of any DSLR or mirrorless camera-ISO 64 (expandable down to ISO 32).
Full frame as it was meant to be
Nikon has been advancing the full frame format since the days of 35mm film photography with industry defining optics, legendary sharpness and the most impressive lens lineup available.
NIKKOR Lenses: The Gold Standard
Nikon has been setting the standard for full-frame lenses for over 80 years. Gold Ring Series NIKKOR optics are among the finest lenses available, drawing peak performance from high-resolution image sensors with stunning sharpness, edge-to-edge clarity and virtually no distortion or aberrations regardless of subject, environment or lighting conditions. The extreme resolving power of the D850, whether for stills or 4K UHD video, is brought to full power with these superb optics. To get the most from the D850 think Gold Ring. No adapter needed.
Precision at every turn - Flagship autofocus, metering and fast continuous shooting
Autofocus that keeps up
The D850 uses the same field-proven ultra-accurate AF system as the flagship D5. With 153 focus points, 99 cross-type sensors and a dedicated AF processor, the D850 delivers all of its 45.7 MP performance with NIKKOR lenses. Shoot in low light to -4 EV. Capturing the most elusive subjects will feel like second nature with the D850.
Focus in near darkness
Autofocus down to -4 EV lets you capture in low-light situations. Suddenly, fast NIKKOR primes and zooms can handle even lower light than before.
Greater frame coverage
153 focus points with 99 cross-type sensors-15 of which support f/8, a must for many sports and wildlife shooters-providing 130% more frame coverage than D800/D800E or D810. Acquire and track with unwavering accuracy.
Locked-on subject tracking
Nikon's exclusive AF engine uses parallel processing with a sequence control microcomputer to realize high AF performance for fast-moving subjects even during high-speed shooting.
Nuance in high resolution
With up to 7 FPS at 45.7 MP, the D850 can capture the decisive frame of a bride walking down the aisle or a fashion model's fluid pose. For nailing the shot at a high-speed race or of A-listers on the red carpet, try using the optional MB-D18 battery pack and shoot full resolution up to 9 FPS.
Shoot to your heart's content
Even at 45.7 MP of resolution, the D850 captures up to 51 consecutive shots in 14-bit RAW (NEF) or up to 170 frames in 12-bit lossless compressed RAW (NEF). Hold down the shutter button and capture shot after stunning shot.
Versatile like you - Performance enhancements inspired by photographer feedback
Streamline your workflow
Seamlessly switch between RAW sizes of Large (45.7 MP), Medium (25.6 MP) and Small (11.4 MP) (12-bit lossless compressed RAW), whichever fits your need or workflow. Save time with RAW batch processing right in the camera.
Connect with your vision
Only an SLR camera offers a true view through the lens, making the camera an extension of your vision. The D850 has Nikon's highest magnification optical viewfinder ever, 0.75x.
Do not disturb
When silence is golden-shooting golf, press conferences, weddings and more-turn on Silent Photography in Live View and capture without sound or mechanical vibration. In Mode 1, shoot for up to 6 FPS continuous at 45.7 MP. In Mode 2, shoot approx. 8.6-megapixel pictures in DX image area at approx. 30 FPS for up to 3 seconds.
Tilt and touch
The tilting touchscreen LCD screen makes it easy to get the shot, even from high or low angles. Use Touch AF, Touch Shutter control and navigate menus, playback and more as if you were using a smartphone. Zoom in during Live View shooting and use the new Pinpoint AF to put focus right where you want it.
4K UHD Movie Quality in Full Frame Glory - Cinematic movie recording
A multimedia powerhouse
Multimedia content creators rejoice. You are now free to record 16:9 4K Ultra HD (3840x2160) in full frame glory using the total width and resolution of the D850's back-side illuminated (BSI) CMOS sensor. Take advantage of the large sensor size for clean output at high ISO and for shooting with zero crop factor with any full-frame NIKKOR lenses, including wide and ultra-wide angle lenses.
Slow it down
Transform dramatic moments into dazzling fluid slow-motion sequences. Record 4x (shoot at 120p, playback at 30/25p) or 5x (shoot at 120p, playback at 24p) slow-motion at 1080p.
Quickly confirm focus
Confirm your manual focus with Focus Peaking. Select high, medium or low sensitivity and red, yellow, blue or white highlights. Operates in manual focus mode with AF or compatible manual NIKKOR lenses.
Touch to focus
While recording video with Live View just touch where you want to focus.
Advanced video features for better movies
Auto ISO handles smooth lighting transitions from ISO 64 to the sensitivity of your choice (all the way up to Hi-2). Enjoy simultaneous external and internal recording, Flat Picture Control, highlight weighted metering, two selectable Zebra Stripes patterns, electronic VR (Full HD), a built-in stereo microphone with 20-step increment and attenuator adjustments and so much more.
Time-lapse in breathtaking resolution - 4K and 8K Ultra HD time-lapse with smooth exposure transitions
4K time-lapse in camera
Create entire 4K UHD time-lapse sequences right in the camera-an exclusive to Nikon DSLRs. Use Silent Live View Mode to bypass the mechanical shutter and mirror movement, saving thousands of shutter cycles and improving the D850's already outstanding battery performance.
8K time-lapse using Interval Timer
Render jaw-dropping 8K time-lapse movies by shooting sequences of up to 9,999 full-size stills, again using Silent Live View Mode. Using the D850's Interval Timer Mode allows you to capture over 8K-size images with exquisite detail for time-lapse movie creation. And with no shutter vibration, your sequences will be tack-sharp.
The most well-rounded Nikon yet - Next-generation features to help you perform at your peak
Light it up
When combined with the optional WR-A10/R10 transceiver (requires firmware version 3.0 or later), the D850 can control and wirelessly fire radio controlled SB-5000 Speedlights from another room, around corners or outdoors in bright sunlight.
Focus stacking made easy
Create images with extraordinary depth of field using Focus Shift Mode. Set focal steps from 1 to 10 for up to 300 automated shots, which get stored in a dedicated folder for easy identification when using 3rd party focus stacking software. High resolution meets high magnification.
Fine tune your NIKKOR lenses
Live View AF Fine Tune lets you quickly and reliably fine-tune the D850's AF system to your specific NIKKOR lenses, optimizing sharpness and avoiding the lengthy process of trial-and-error tuning.
Negative digitizer
