Good long term review guys! I'll list some of my favorite things about D850 when compared to D810 that usually don't get credit much at reviews; 1. No magenta cast on shadows at high ISOs +6400 when shooting night scenes or skies 2.Great auto white balance accuracy and addition of auto wb preset for natural light 3. Automatic autofocus micro adjust. With high mpix sensor slight misfocusing is painstakingly obiouvs. I still prefer to manually check afma-values but this helps get close to the correct value and makes possible to do quick adjust on the field / vacation (Color of light can effect correct afma-value slightly, also ambient temperature due to tolerances changing. 4. Screen resolution and live view experience is greatly improved as well 5. Shutter mechanism slightly more stable for less shutter shock and possible to use Electronic first curtain shutter with other modes than MUP. Paired with addition of 0.2s and 0.5sec shutter delay helps to get blur free pictures with high quality glass. 6. Better grip ergonomics

I agree about the WB more accurate than D810. I send for prints directly from the camera's jpg, especially when shooting Nikon or APO lenses. But here's another surprise I discovered recently while I was bitching about recent Zeiss purple fringing: the Fuji XH-1 with Fuji lenses has zero (0) purple fringing with Fuji lenses and slightly more pleasant colors and the most perfect shutter experience ever (and its battery sucks). Ah, there's no perfect camera, we have to fuse them somehow.

I'd rather buy a Sony IMO. I bought a D800E years back, it was nice but didn't do what I wanted, and neither did most other cameras.

This video is about 2.5 years old but I just wanted to say, because of Tim's advocacy, I just bought my D850. I'm still learning all about it (it's a bit intimidating), but REALLY excited. I sold my D7000 to help offset this purchase but couldn't be happier. Now, to get out into the field!

I used the D850 for a day and loved it. Thought it was a great camera. For a variety of reasons, I went with Sony. I wasn't married to any brand so it was easier for me to switch systems. Just remember- there are great cameras by all the companies. It comes down to personal preference, what glass you might already own and your shooting purpose.

Agreed, The D850 is all I shoot with now and it does a beautiful job... I have even figured out the D850’s Video capability in AF and it rarely looses focus. Awesome camera! Thank you both for your hard and talented work and an effort that bring us all quality and entertaining KZread content!

Could you share your AF settings for Video that "rarely loses focus" ??

Great review; love my D850! I did notice that occasionally my 24 to 70 mm lens will miss focus on eyes and subjects, not sure if it’s because it’s a third-party lens, Tamron, however my 70 to 200 mm Tamron does not miss hardly ever. I’ve tried AF fine tune but was curious if you ran into any problems with missing focus on a 24 to 70 lens when shooting?

luv the way you've upped your post production game ! Excellent review

As a Nikon user let me say I'm so happy to see this detailed and pleasant review.

I own both the D850 and A7RIII. Both are great cameras. Studio work, general photography and wedding receptions the Sony fares well if not better but when it comes to choosing a camera to bring for a crucial shoot i will choose the Nikon D850, the focusing is just more reliable and intuitive. I am able to trust the Nikon when it comes to focusing with very narrow DOF. I am also using the Nikon 105mm 1.4E, exceptional lens!

Damn! This video was magnificent. I totally enjoyed it! The layout, summary, and the narration by you Tony was outstanding. I don't have a D850, but I did assume it is and was the best camera out there overall. I love Nikon. I can't wait to see the comparison between the Sony A7r3 and the Nikon D850. In all serious, please keep up the top-notch videos and keep them coming. Stay safe and stay shooting.

I really enjoy your videos and find the thoughtful information you share to be very helpful to my photography and my photographic purchases. This one in particular may have pushed me over the edge to buying a D850.

Nice seeing a review after the new gear hysteria has died down. Got my D850 in January. It is rugged and reliable as well as delivering fantastic picture quality. I've done real estate to landscape to portraiture with it. It never fails. I bought into the Nikon flashes (and all the irritating and expensive little bits to make it work off camera) and I like the wireless integration to speed up shoots.

Thirty percent more ability to nail Focus than the Sony a7riii” that’s the tipping of the Balance to D850 favour for me. I was contemplating on both Cameras.

But numbers denote ideal situations which cannot be percieved by our senses most of the time! In other words... On such a big level of camera perfection, 30% "better" may mean absolutely nothing! At least what I think! :)

Don't make Chris Niccols jump, Chelsea! Don't do it, Chelsea! :)

After doing a 50 shot focus stack in my new macro studio today, I have to say after owning one since the release date, I'm still loving the D850 to bits, especially the built in focus shift shooting and silent mode electronic shutter. HDMI out to a tethered 32" 4K monitor (which is new to me) was amazeballs when framing and focusing. I use new Sigma Arts which weigh a ton (even on a D7200) and various auto focus Nikkors, but also 40 year old manual focus F mount lenses that still shine, like the 55mm f2.8 Micro Nikkor. It's a great system and a really adaptable body, with peerless image quality at 64 ISO for FF. A few niggles, as one would expect...the battery life on mine is not as good as I would have expected, despite the upgraded battery model. Video auto focus is still a joke, but no biggy for me as I'm not a videographer. The D850 overall is a pleasure to own and use...for me. Your requirements may differ and if so, Panasonic, Sony, Fuji, Hasselblad, or whatever will be your choice. Choice is good, anger is not.

Superbly done you two; clear, crisp and concise. My wife has a D850 and she's just looked at me with a rather smug look on her face. I may have to let my D810 go after her 'review' and your upload.

The D850 might be the best DSLR that will ever be made. A nice swan song to 5 decades of technology. They will still be DSLRS, of course but this feels like end of an era.

Nikon D850 IS the end of an era, you can feel it they made sure it was a happy ending by launching all the best F mount lenses and DSLRs they could like D7500, D500, D850 and D5 This is also because Nikon (and Canon) are finally going full frame mirrorless at the end of this year with a new mount, new lenses for that mount, new AF system, etc. and hence won't have any time or money left to focus on DSLRs at a time when so many pros are switching to mirrorless full frame because of Sony alone

Even those who claim that the best camera is the one you have with you can't deny that the D850 is one of the most capable and versatile full frame bodies ever available. Within the first day of using this device on an assignment, I immediately deduced that it was the best DSLR I had ever used. I own the D810 and rented the D850. I thought I would miss the pop-up flash even though I rarely ever used it, it was good to know that I had that option to wirelessly trigger the Nikon CLS lights or have fill flash for walk around shots. The truth is, for the 4 days I tested the D850 I never once thought about the pop-up flash. The step focus is one of my favorite additions and the continued improvements with dynamic range.

Sigh, do I really have to do this breakdown? You are so convinced that the D850 beats all cameras in all categories even at the individual levels that a list needs to be made? It's probably the best "all in one" camera out there. Jack of all trades, gets the job done in ways that you would probably not need another system. But even the best Jacks have to compromise somewhere. If anyone could make that list better than anyone else, it's Tony Northrup not me. I can list a few things here, but I don't know the systems as well as Tony, it's why I watch all his videos LOL! All I was saying is that it is the best at some things, but there are other cameras that are better at some individual things (A9 20 fps no blackout would be one, if I have to give one). I don't want to argue something that is not really worth arguing (wasn't even making an argument). I feel that "the best camera" is the one that can do what you need it to do best. That is no one camera for everything, there are better cameras at certain things than others, there are some that are the best at nothing and still are great. The D850 is the best at some things, and more than adequate at pretty much everything (hence the best all around). For the things that matter most, that is up to the user and their intended use. For everything else, there's Mastercard. (thought I would throw some levity in at the end). Also, nice video, thanks for making it, forgot to say that previously. If a D850 was in my budget, I would gladly shoot with one.

I'm a mirrorless guy. Just switched over to an a7riii after spending over a year with MFT, and even I can acknowledge that the D850 is the best high resolution DSLR ever made. Nikon's lens selection turns me green with envy. If Nikon ever actually puts out a decent mirrorless camera, they may be the ones to get my dollar when it comes time to upgrade again.

I will be upgrading to a D850 too when it drops to the price below $1500 used (like the price of D810) right now.

I like your answer very logical. For what I do, dont need eye-AF, the weight is a non-issue, just low ISO(64) for the best Dynamic-Range, more than 24MP and Flash, plus great lenses selection

About the dynamic range part though, the Sony a9 has a special trick that I have never seen a reviewer talked about. Set the shutter to electronics only (auto won't do it), setup the camera to +/- 1EV or above, and dial the camera in BRK mode. (Sorry for the lengthy setup but Sony cameras are illogical) Whenever you press the shutter immediately you have 3 images taken with no mirror (obviously) nor mechanical shutter vibration. If you use Lightroom these images are almost perfectly aligned even if you shoot handhold. It's easy to achieve extremely high dynamic range with this trick.

@333payaso

yes, but that is not DYNAMIC-RANGE, it is more like HDR. And you can do the same thing with almost any camera that have bracketing(D7000/D7100/D7200/D500/D700/D750/D800/D800E/D810/D850)

That's disappointing about the 3D focus not working well. Have you noticed if it performs any better (closer to D500) if the D850 is switched to Dx mode? Thanks for the great review

I have a sony a7r3 and while it produces stunning images and has great eye AF for portrait, it is just not a nice experience and I don't like to work with it. How to you recommend the d850 AF setting for portraits? Is face detection usable on shallow depth of field on the eyes?

Thanks again for making this video helping me decide which one to buy Nikon D850 vs Nikon D810

Best camera ever? For some, probably. For me - no. I photograph wildlife almost exclusively and walk about 7 hours a day with my camera kit. Though an undoubtedly brilliant camera, for me, the D850 and Nikon glass is just too heavy. Another, even bigger issue for me, is no presets on the top plate dial. I have just swapped my D500 system and Olympus system for one based around a Sony A7III. My D500 did not have presets but my EM1 mark II had three incredibly customisable presets. If I took out just one camera for the day it was the EM1.2 - just because of the presets. My A7III has two presets, not as customisable as the EM1.2 but pretty good all the same. I am able to carry my A7III + Sony 100 - 400mm + Sony 90mm macro and Meike 320 mini speedlite without issue. No more aching hip and back. My new system also produces fabulous image quality.

I was a soldier for 11 years, carrying a heavy pack plus a battle rifle (not a light assault rifle) and ammunition. I then became a police officer and trained as a specialist PSU officer, this time carring a 14lb shield for hours on end. I have always worked out and practised martial arts, so don't try it on with me. It is obvious from your post that you have no concept of how to set up a complex preset, in order to switch between a stationary subject and one which is fast moving in the blink of an eye. No doubt you have missed a great many shots due to your own, so called, professionalism. Lightroom won't help you when you taken a shot at 1/250th when the subject required a shutter speed of 1/2500th.

Did either of you find the D850's image quality (sharpness, detail, dynamic range, color depth, tonal gradation) to be better than the a7riii's for low ISO portraiture? Trying to decide between these two cameras. Thanks.

How do you set a custom WB for shooting VIDEO with the D850? I tried capturing a custom WB in still mode but when I switch to movie mode, the custom WB does not carry over to movie mode. If I put it in movie mode and try to set a custom WB, it won't capture it; that is, when I hold down the WB button, 'PRE' does not flash the way it does in still mode. Maybe there is a problem with my camera???

The D850 is too heavy. Sony A7R3 with the Tamron 28-75 is showing the way to the mirrorless future.

Sony: 1.4lbs, Nikon: 2 lbs. That's just a little over a half a pound. Gym membership maybe?

Right NOW Sony has become the number 1 seller of fullframe digital cameras in the world, Not Nikon, Not Canon. The A7RIII had more camera of the year awards for 2017 than the D850. And in the month of April the Sony A7III was the best selling camera in Japan, not the D850. The lousy video autofocus of the D850 ,and lack of EVF ,and lack of true silent shooting ,and lack of 93% focus coverage, and lack of IBIS, and lack of focus peaking would all be a dealbreaker for me. I do subscribe here, but for all the good work that Tony and Chelsea do, they always seem too busy to respond to comments of any nature . They just move on and let us debate it without any feedback. A safe way never to answer any opposing point of view, unless the topic is in their next video. I guess they have just gotten too big for that. A shame. Cheers

Nomriel seems like everyone wants a piece of the mirrorless world. Sony have been offering great features that no other company has. I would even say the a7iii is a better camera. Theres a new afc lense that's a 2.8 constant 24-70mm for only 800usd. Not only that but sony offers clear image zoom (amazing) couple that with a aspc mode that 24-70 turns into ummm I think like 280mm. Granted your using a micro 4/3rd sensor size at that point. But if it's for low low low light it still produces good looking pictures.

The D750, image quality wise, beats competitors at same price point (although it lacks some modern features like 4K video, touch screen and so and so). People keep pointing out that the A7 III is far superior (and it is!) but it costs almost double (at least in Europe). D750 right now would be (in my opinion) one of the best ways to enter affordable full frame photography, the sensor is a marvel for the price and lens selection is top.
