Revainrating 5 out of 5

A very high-quality product, I take it not for the first time.

The 810 quite coped with the task assigned to it: to be a landscape camera for leisurely shooting with all sorts of fixes (I like some old D ones). But in some situations, she could simply screw up the frame, not orienting herself in difficult light conditions. For some time I doubted whether it was worth changing, read various reviews, downloaded and played RAVs. Many have written that almost no difference. And yet I bought it. It turned out that it is different and very even. Nimble, which is

Pros
  • - Color, color and more color. The quality of the picture is pleasing to the eye, even in the photo, even in the video - The camera is much better oriented in difficult shooting conditions, colors do not degrade with increasing ISO and poor lighting, auto WB is very good - Wonderful dynamic range. Lights and shadows are pulled out well - Autofocus. There are significantly more focus points than on the 810, it feels more confident in the dark, very fast - An important setting has appeared for me: disabling autofocus by holding the button on the rear panel (on the 810-ke you can set it up just turning it on, which is not very convenient for me) - A huge viewfinder (I love it very much), but I didn’t complain on the 810 either - The device has become really nimble in sensations and I really like it - Very comfortable to grip. Although this is not the most important parameter for me, I somehow compared it and realized that I feel very comfortable with it. - A good supply of food - it has become less voracious and with the same battery, you can get more frames on the 810-ke - We released a battery of double (!) Capacity It probably doesn't make sense to list such features as a folding screen, high burst shooting speed and the like, which can be read in the specifications.
Cons
  • - LiveView mode, even though they did a focus on the finger, but its speed is unimportant, although better than that of the 810-ki - The side points are not as good as the center ones, although I already use old autofocus fixes. Not fatal - Here I could write about the price of XQD cards, but I shoot quite well on simple SD cards. Although, if you need to beat in series, then you have to fork out

Feel free to buy, for such a price, the quality is simply amazing.

There was a pair of Nikon D90 and D7000, I kind of shot and didn’t know grief, but then . Sony released their UPCs . In general, I took this rubbish in the form of a7m2 and a6500 . and unsuccessfully tried to convince myself for two or three years that The UPC is great, but in fact the autofocus is the bottom, the colors are also the bottom, the matrix is ​​noisy, with the display instead of the JVI - everything is bad. In general, I fell for the bait of marketers and under-reviewers who…

Pros
  • 1. Lovely color. 2. Precise autofocus. 3. High working iso. 4. Detailing the picture. 5. RAW stretches very significantly without visible losses. 6. Feeling indestructible when using. 7. The screen is of high quality and touch, like a normal mobile phone. 8. Convenience and reasonableness of management (although this may be a force of habit)
Cons
  • 1. The probability of blurring the frame increases due to the small pixel. 2. I would like the viewfinder to be more protruding relative to the body. 3. Weight, to throw off at least 100 grams. 4. The absence of a stub on the matrix)). I don't even know what else to look for not flaws, but rather nit-picking

Perfect product for any user!

Excellent camera, from the first day of purchase I enjoy working with it. It is great for any type of photography. In reportage shooting, it shows itself perfectly, 7 frames is enough for me, but while I work in conjunction with Canon 7d mark ii, this one will be faster, and in most cases of reporting, I don’t need such high-quality sources that Nikon gives :) Unfortunately, I am attaching only files shot on a Helios 44m lens .

Pros
  • Good assembly, sits comfortably in the hand, excellent image quality, high resolution and light sensitivity, iso 2022 is quite working, the batteries are enough for 1200+ shots, high-quality video in 4k.
Cons
  • So far, only positive impressions about the camera itself. But the strap in the kit is not the best, for kenons it is wider and softer, it is easily wound around the hand. And this one is constantly spinning and flies.

A wonderful product, it's nice to use.

For me, this is a modified D800 megapixels for reportage, Thanks Nikon! Pros below: Switched from D800 Appeared: Button illumination The picture is not much sharper ISO is twice as high Video writes at 60 of them :D Has cons: For me, which was sinned everywhere that it had a lot of grease,

A really necessary purchase, glad I found this product.

I bought a Nikon D4 which D4 Works great in dark conditions, and vibration is almost not felt relative to the D4 I bought a battery pack for it, in which accumulators from Nikon D4 came up, With Nikon D4, I used Compact Flash cards, I recorded a video on unpacking the D850 and a small comparison with the Nikon D4 After half a year of operation

Pros
  • 45.7 megapixels, autofocus works great in dark environments, soft shutter.
Cons
  • Expensive extra battery pack and other accessories.

I was surprised by the quality for this price.

A little less than a month I am the happy owner of this magnificent carcass. There are D700, D800 available, there was also an opportunity to try the D610, D750, D3s, D4s in operation, there is something to compare with I can say one thing, Nikon has collected the best in this model. D850 is worth the money, because it simplifies the life of its owner Different pros: Their mass 1. For me, the most important thing is the white balance and the camera copes with it with a bang, even with mixed…

Matches the description completely, very satisfied.

I have had a camera since March, before that I had a D750. For an ordinary amateur, I did not notice any qualitative differences for the sake of which it is worth changing the camera. As a result, this is the most sophisticated and functional camera that will be relevant and satisfy the photographer for a long time to come. Pros below: Huge, powerful device for obtaining high-quality images. You can safely take a camera, take a picture and print it on A0 (you only need a lens that can resolve…

Best product I have ever reviewed, I recommend it to everyone!

Very good camera for professional work. A tool that will allow you to do what is necessary in almost any situation. You need to understand that you will need a good laptop or computer, and many more gigabytes of free space on hard drives or the cloud. Different pros: I like how the camera lies in the hand, very comfortable. Ergonomics. Build quality. Focusing is very fast. The viewfinder is bright and you can see everything very well. The resolution of the photos is high. Got cons: Working with

I am amazed at how well made the product is, just magical!

And not a plus or a minus: Lightroom and Photoshop need to be ated to the latest versions, since earlier versions will not see RAW. Bottom line: a great camera with great features. Its pros: 1) Ergonomics. Whoever says anything, but despite the fact that it is heavier than the d7000, it lies in the hand very nicely and the weight is not noticeable. 2) There is no round bulb for additional AF illumination, now there is a red "laser" (bugaga) 3) Folding screen, which was sometimes missing 4) The

Great quality, happy with it one hundred percent!

At the moment, for myself, I would take a closer look at the Z6 model. But if you don’t like mirrorless cameras, if you shoot a lot in the studio and need high resolution, while you like to shoot high-quality videos, then this is your device! Pros below: 1. Quality of received images: - color reproduction is better than on any other previous Nikon models, and on a level. Natural skintone. - Branded Nikon dynamic range. Ravas stretch very well. You can not be afraid of misses in exposure. - Huge

I expected mediocre quality, but the product was pleasantly surprised.

Some pros: one) Versatility. Suitable for almost any genre. filming. Thanks to focus speed, continuous shooting speed (especially with optional battery pack), buffer size and high image resolution (large format printing, margin for framing). 2) Comfortable grip and location of controls (up to all buttons and levers reach without removing your finger from the shutter button). When shooting quickly, this important aspect. Again, unlike the D750, the 850 has conveniently located reprogrammable Pv…

This camera has already written a million reviews. I got the camera from Hong Kong, at a price of $ 2600 (185), compared with the average price in the 2022 of 270-290, I think it turned out very well for the price. The camera has lived up to expectations. Before that, I shot on the D810. After 850ki, I don’t want to hold anything else in my hands. Its pros: A camera that incorporates all the best that Nikon has. Excellent ergonomics, perfected over the years, fantastic image detail, a huge…

A good quality product, I rate this purchase perfectly.

The conclusion is short. D850 is the best DSLR that Nikon has for 20 years, there is an opportunity - buy it. Impression This is my 3rd Nikon full frame after the d750 and d810. Actually, the d850 took all the best from these cameras, multiplied it with new technologies + borrowed something from the reportage flagship d5. In my review of the 810, I wrote about compromises and shortcomings compared to the 750, but here there is nothing to put in the shortcomings of the younger series and the…

Pros
  • - exceptional photo detail - excellent, best among Nikon cameras, color reproduction, including the reproduction of human skin tones - autofocus is accurate, fast in any lighting conditions - ergonomics - all the best that is in the system (a large protected body with an excellent grip, an inclined touch screen, the ability to assign actions to buttons, button illumination, an additional joystick, etc.) is in this camera - NEF flexibility all in the best Nikon traditions, good margin in highlights, excellent in shadows
Cons
  • - wireless interfaces are practically useless, but they eat the battery - LiveView is slightly faster than previous generations, but still sluggish - the cost of XQD cards, yes they are fast, but redundant for photos, SD does just as well - the battery does not last as long as on its predecessors - a consequence of additional functions

I am very upset, the product is no good.

1. Initially, the camera had a crease on the shutter (the shutter crumbled onto the matrix), to which I was told at the service center that this is normal, they cleaned the matrix and gave it away, then I wrote to Nikon service support, to which they answered me - this is normal, there are no problems see. After the third cleaning, the problem was recognized, how many frames were screwed up on a closed aperture due to shutter crumbs on the matrix . Well, okay, on. 2. In the summer of 2022…

Pros
  • I bought the camera in October 2022, used it until March 2022. Further in order, I have something to say about it and about Nikon himself. The picture is on the level, good RAW, good Jpeg. Adequate management, everything in its place. Normal autofocus, not the best on the market at the moment, just good. The battery holds up well.
Cons
  • Camera quality. Service Nikon. Everything you need to know about my camera, it spent 117 days in service. Maybe I was just unlucky, I got an unsuccessful copy or a pre-production sample (I bought it at the start of sales). But this does not change the situation. Quality and reliability in the eye. When contacting Nikon with a question about replacing the camera with the same one, I was advised to be careful and were very surprised why the service center repaired all cases under warranty - they say it's all my fault. There was more than one such appeal. There were phone calls and official letters from Nikon that they did not see a problem. I am a "member" of Nikon Professional Services (NPS) - what did it give me in Hong Kong? Zero - absolutely nothing, there was not even a replacement camera, Nikon taught me to carry two cameras on the set. Then, already in the store where I bought this camera, they told me that they have a replacement, although the service center did not even know about it. Nikon employees boarded as best they could, this is probably normal, although I was offended, the case when I threw over 700 thousand into the system, and the companies don’t give a damn about you. I'll write in more detail below.

Just super, it's beautifully made, I'm very happy with it.

I am writing a review after a day of owning the camera, for this reason, I will supplement it as I gain experience with the camera. Image quality is excellent. The picture is voluminous, the colors are good, in LightRoom NEF it stretches very well in both shadows and highlights. Detailing as in the first bladerunner, in the eyes with an increase in the reflection of the room you can see. There is volume and character in the image, it seems that the shots from the D850 will be recognizable. ISO…

Pros
  • The highest quality of the image - color drawing and three-dimensionality of the picture. Focus speed. Low noise at high ISOs with fast shutter speeds. The overall speed of work. The grip is more comfortable than in the D800-D810
Cons
  • Everything related to PictureBridge and wireless functions is extremely inconvenient to use, in fact, all wireless functions turn into a toy due to poor software implementation not in the camera, but on the phone. The inability to remotely configure the camera from the phone. The main drawback is that all focus points are grouped in the central part of the frame, it feels like the frame coverage area is worse than in the D800. Overpriced XQD memory cards and battery pack. Battery consumption is not displayed accurately and informatively enough.
