Nikon D850 vs Nikon D810 comparison article is ready and you can check the details of these high-end DSLR cameras with full-frame image sensors.
The Nikon D850 uses a Nikon-designed back-side illuminated (BSI) full-frame image sensor with no optical low-pass filter. Effective pixel count of the FX-format sensor is 45.7 megapixels.
The Nikon D850 also offers the D5’s excellent 153-point AF system, as well as a native ISO range of 64-25,600 (expandable to 32 or up to 102,400). The DSLR also improves on the D810’s video offerings with the inclusion of full-frame 4K 24/25/30p capture.

Tthe burst rate has jumped from 5 to 7 fps (9 fps combining the new MB-D18 grip with an EN-EL18b battery), and the entire AF system borrowed directly from the flagship D5.
