Review on Nikon D850 FX Format Digital Camera by Tawan Piyawan ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

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 is the brightest impression. Compared to the D800, the camera makes much less noise. 6400 without any exaggeration working ISO, at 25600 the picture looks almost like on the D800 at 6400, and details are not lost. With flowers at 25600 everything is bad. Excellent auto ISO settings in the menu. Focusing is very fast and tenacious. Much better than the D800. Great job in the dark. Focuses very well in the forest when shooting birds, when interference in the form of branches gets into focus. There are many tracking focus settings in the menu, and they really help. Of the features, what is written everywhere about 153 focus points is marketing, only 55 are actually available for selection. Lifeview - works very fast, subjectively focusing is the same or a little faster than on Olympus. From the little things - I was surprised that even in normal mode the camera is very quiet, the mirror and the shutter move very gently and the camera shakes much less. It is unusual that in the viewfinder all information inscriptions are now white, this is less contrasting, and for 17 years I have already got used to green. The viewfinder itself seems a little bigger compared to the D800. Continuous shooting is very good - the buffer is large and the camera works fine even with old memory cards, but the files weigh 60-70MB each and you have to be prepared to spend both on hard drives and memory cards. In my opinion, for photography at 7 fps, SD is enough, how it will be at 9 fps is not clear. As a summary - an excellent camera, in comparison with the D800-D810, almost everything is better, there are many little things that make a good impression.

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.
