![]() ![]() Body, controls and featuresÄesign-wise, D850 may not stand out in a lineup of DSLRs these days, but it comes with an array of improvements and refinements that make it an exceedingly comfortable camera to use. So let's dig in and see if all that the D850 is capable of is enough to make it stand out in an increasingly crowded and mirrorless photographic world. Hear ye, hear ye the Nikon D850 is really, really good. Competitors with similarly specced megapixel counts such as the Sony a7R II and Canon EOS 5Ds R may be cheaper at this point in their lifetimes, but they also fall short of the D850 in a number of ways that may make a difference in the way you shoot. Offering an impressive 45.7MP of resolution, 7fps burst shooting, full-width 4K video and a focusing system derived from the flagship D5, it looks as though Nikon's thrown just about everything they've got into the D850, and priced it well to boot. And there's no doubt about it: The D850 is the company's true 100th anniversary camera, a 'back-to-basics' product for Nikon that also pushes forward for photographers in important, if not overly flashy, ways. The year 2017 is Nikon's 100th anniversary, which is a remarkable milestone for any company, much less a camera company that has survived the digital photography revolution.
