D850 Reviews
Richard Peters, the British professional wildlife photographer, Nikon Ambassador, has completed his review of the new Nikon D850. He says the Nikon D850 is the best camera he has ever owned and thinks is the best wildlife photography camera ever made. From the review :
The D850 is the best camera I’ve ever owned. Period. It offers resolution, speed, power, focusing, ergonomics, high ISO performance, build and more. No other DSLR comes even close to offering such a complete, flexible and all round package. Whilst the D810 was my favourite camera, the D850 is my dream camera, exceeding my expectations and then some. It combines the very best parts of Nikons best cameras. Adds new features and, in doing so, unashamedly raises the bar in truly spectacular fashion. In fact, it offers a defining moment in the evolution of DSLRs.
PhotographyLife posted their in-depth review for the D850. Here is a recap from the summary.
For the first time, Nikon merged two camera lines into one to make the D850 the most capable camera on the market. And without a doubt, it has succeeded in achieving that – the D850 is the best Nikon DSLR we have tested to date.
ePhotozine highly recommends the FX-format DSLR and says : “The Nikon D850 offers an impressive specification, and thanks to a BSI CMOS sensor gives both high-resolution and excellent noise performance.”
From PhotographyBlog review:
After a difficult couple of years, Nikon are certainly back with a bang with the new D850, which for the moment at least is our DSLR camera of choice.
