I have the D500 and D800 so should have a flying start, but acquiring the D850 sends me back to school. What a camera! Instruction books always confuse me and if I look for some genuinely informed video presentations, the videos are mostly never complete and tend to be unstructured.. So your clear and very comprehensive run through is a dream “go to “ for me. Very many thanks....many hours of frustrating hunting for information has been saved.

Maarten, I recall viewing your review of the Nikon D500. I indicated then that it was unequivocally the best review of the camera I had seen. Your review help cement my decision to purchase the D500. This time around, I went ahead and purchased the D850 to replace my D810 before seeing your review of the D850. Yet, reviewing it now, I find it just as informative, well thought out, superbly presented, and quite frankly yet one of the finest reviews I've seen. Thank you again.

First of all, thank you for your excellent review of the D850, it must have taken a lot of time and dedication. I have a few questions, and I'm sure you have the right answers in stock! 1. When SnapBridge receives the pictures from the D850, is it only possible to transfer .jpeg's, or are you able to transfer RAW files too? 2. What was your setup to record your D850 menu? Thanks in advance

It’s always my pleasure - and thank you for your kind words and recognition of the effort involved. 1) JPEGS only (2MB size or original) 2) I use an Atomos Shogun from the HDMI.

Great review; thanks. I subscribed. Question: If I shoot a picture in FX mode and crop, is quality the same as shooting in DX mode and not cropping? Also, what is advantage of shooting video in DX instead of FX mode? Again, thanks!

@MaartenHeilbron

6 жыл бұрын

Thanks for your kind words, and your subscription. Yes, doing a manual crop from an FX image is (more or less) the same as using the camera to crop to DX - you are creating a lower resolution image from lower pixels. The advantage of shooting in DX mainly applies to video, where with a minimal loss of quality (even 4K is only 8 megapixels) you can extend the reach of your lens. For stills, I'd always prefer to capture everything from the sensor and crop as needed in editing. Hope this helps.

Why don't you have more subscribers is beyond me Mr Maarten... Maybe kindness and thoroughness is boring for people nowadays. You really should have at least 100000 subscribers, hopefully that happens sooner than later. Looking forward to your Sony Rx0 review. Take care.

Amazing review, love it. That's the kind of review people should do it, not pushing anyone to buy anything, but showing with great details what's good, what's not so good, and so on. I really enjoy your review, thank you. I don't know if I miss, if not, that would be the only thing missing, how bad is to work with the files, since I assume 46mb would creat monster files and that might generate a problem, like a new computer, external drives, etc... I'm don't know if it is the case, I'm just assuming, but that could be a big factor some people, since it would increase substantially the investment, it would be for me.

Well, I just saw your review on the Fuji XH1 and since I sold all my equipment, I might buy Fuji instead. Not sure yet, I still suspect that Nikon will announce either or both, APS-C and Full frame mirrorless camera and if they follow the steps of the D850, it will be the camera. I use Nikon since the F3hp, when I jumped from my Minolta. Same thing happens back then, I manage to sell all my equipment to a very good price. So now, I'm again free to decide where to go next and if the XH1 is as good on real life as it is on paper, it will probably be my next move. I want to wait for Nikon, because I really want full frame, but if there's now announcement by the CP+2018, I'll the Fuji. Fuji has being a great temptation since the XT-1. I love the system because of the lenses, they are gorgeous, I love the dials, Ergonomics it just feel way more home then with the new DSLR's. Thanks again for your work, I really enjoy your reviews.
