Review on Nikon D850 FX Format Digital Camera by Chong Nahm Cho ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

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 previous generation. The camera is a clear success of Nikona - super detail, normal color without dancing, all this in a very convenient case without castration and restrictions. The noise level is quite low, the color does not degrade at high iso, and the grain goes away with the inevitable resizing. The speed of the camera is beyond praise, af from d5 sees almost in the dark and finally (extremely important for a portrait painter) ! the extreme left and right AF points have become cross-shaped and cling just as well as the center ones. Yes, LiveView is still slow, but the touch screen eliminates the thoughtfulness of moving the af zone, and with a nimble lens like the Nikon 24-70 / 2.8, the process, although not instantaneous, is not as annoying as on previous models. And of course, for a matrix with such a resolution, appropriate optics should be used. No wonder that at the start of sales, Nikon published a scandalous "honest list" of recommended optics, which, under pressure from dissatisfied customers, had to be rewritten and expanded. There is 1 more not obvious minus in this camera - after analyzing the footage of the d750 footage, you definitely understand that under the same conditions you could get a much better result in technical terms if you used the d850 and don’t want to shoot on the d750 at the next shooting . With pleasure I will answer all questions in the comments or social networks. All of the above is my personal opinion based on almost a year of experience in operating the camera and does not claim to be an "ultimate opinion".

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
