Since you are currently on the D800, the main difference you will notice is the speed of the camera. By that I mean the speed at which the image come up to preview, switching and scrubbing thru the shot photos. Faster FPS, larger buffer, faster writing to the XQD cards. If Speed of capturing is an issue for you, then this would be a great improvement. HOWEVER, if speed of operation is not an issue, then I don't see much of a change. Between the D800 and the D850, I would say the D850 is a faster camera. Quality of image is about the same, ISO, slightly better on D850, and Slightly slimmer camera body. One additional note, I have noticed that using fast SD cards in the D850 (Sd card rated at 400mb/s) are still considerably slower than the XQD cards rated at the same 400mb/s speed which leads me to believe the SD slot on the D850 isn't build to be as fast as it could be. I only have personal experience with this, and have not extensively tested this yet.

@@unreelcreative thanks 👍for the good advice. I've decided to keep the 1300 in my pocket and carry on with my beloved D800, built like a brick and taker of fine photos. You know the problem today. We are absolutely inundated with opinions, marketing, propaganda, and possibilities. Great photos don't come from more megapixels or superior sensors, they come from vision, perception and technical know how. We as photogs need to practice and hone these skills and study great photographers. Thanks for convincing me to stay with what I've got. I've also got the D700, a legend forever

@@MissNorington on that camera it was around 550,000

@@unreelcreative Impressive, and good to know. I just bought a used D500, just under 40k, and hoping to have it for a long time without any failures.

@@MissNorington the d500 and d850 both share a 200,000 shutter life. I am happily surprised mine went so long and it wasn’t treated nicely during the time either. The d500 with 40k clicks still has a lot of life left in it for sure.

@@unreelcreative Thanks! It is good to know they seem hold for quite some time.

There are different drones for different jobs, this one worked pretty well for what we were doing!

Hopefully we can arrange that 😉

F’ing Fun Motorsports 😏

Thank you! That means a lot, I’m still new too (about 10 months into flying) still so much to learn! 😅

So many factors go into flying something like this, even with a simple idea of flying around the building there were a lot of hurdles to overcome for this single shot! Appreciate your comment and thank you for watching!

I would assume the newer of the two would produce better straight out of the camaera colours. I would think the D750 would allow you to control and dail in the Jpeg settings you would be happy with. But either would be a good choice. I would perfer the D750 for the speed and file size over the D810.

Agreed. I went with 750 over 810 for this reason, among many others. Both solid, but the 750 is so close to the 850 for me that it was a no-brainer.

I strongly agree. The D850 really does cover everything you need.

That's a great idea, time to take some lessons! lol

I would say dope. Great choice on picking the D850!

I'd like to try them out side by side. I am happy GoPro is starting to face strong competition in the action camera market. Should lead to better systems.

Our hero 10 has been good. There have been issues with it starting a recording and it recording for 3-4 seconds then stopping on its own. That seems to have worked itself out. Overheating hasnt been an issue, but, its the camera on the drone, so airflow is very high when its in operation. Personally, i see a small visual quality difference between the hero 10 and the hero 11. Not a huge deal in most use cases.

@@unreelcreative I bought 10 yesterday, found 11 in a diff shop for the same price, bought it too. Now have to decide which one I am returning LOL. I read some post, somebody complained that 10 used to overheat more than 11. Go figure... But if you used 10 on a drone - that is unfair comparison, true. For the equal price, 11 is likely a better choice, no?

Yeah, go with the 11. Has a few more features and higher resolution.

@@unreelcreative Thanks. Do you find the new batteries are better than in 10?

Yeah, I like those one better. The "cold weather ones seem to be decent. Still small capacity wise, but dont just random cut power at 35% when in cold weather.@@val4803

That's a great question. I stuck with the 750 due to its quicker frame rate and faster preview of the images. When I tested the 800 and 810 the speed of capture was much too slow for the style of shooting I had at the time. The 800 and 810 in my mind, was "studio only" camera, which I was not doing, I was more on the side of "on the fly" or "docu". The 850 however had the faster frame rate and fast preview cycling of images that has suited my style of shooting.

That's a great deal on an amazing camera. With DSLR becoming a "dead" type of camera time (I don't believe that comment, I have just heard people talking about these cameras in that way) The price of DSLRs on the used market has dropped significantly in price. New gear doesn't help creativity. As much as people talk specs, and ISO this, and MP this, and how the newest camera can make better what ever. There are much more important elements involved than the camera. Example, Taking breath taking images of the mountains. If you keep buying the latest camera, you'll never be able to afford to travel to the mountains. So in a big picture sense, the latest gear can be a much bigger limiting factor then getting a "cheap" camera and spending the rest on travel. Ya know?

Better switch to crop sensor for weight/size difference

@@dayeah765caoni3 I do like the ligher bodies and lens options available today. Not yet worth the switch for myself.

Thank you! I hope you can sell and upgrade to the D850, it is quite a solid tool!

What do you think you’re lacking on the d810?

@@grantgauvreau2744 This may seem like a small thing. But what annoyed me with the D810 was the speed of things like: Image review, the slightly long delay from pressing the playback button to the image coming up, and going from image to image had a delay. Continous shooting speed was slightly slower than my natural pace of shooting frame to frame. Buffer was small and the images were large, further delaying the frame to frame speed. By slightly slow, I do mean a faction of a second, but that fraction was enough of a delay to through me off my internal pacing.

I bought a d810 new in 2014 and have decided to pull the trigger on updating to a d850 and that is in motion. Beyond wanting more megapixels for larger prints, the reasons for me were a whole lot of small quality of life upgrades - tilting screen, touch screen, and I shoot a lot at night so illuminated buttons and focus peaking will be much appreciated, not to mention better low-light AF when not shooting manual. Can’t wait for my d850 to arrive. I do have a few Fuji mirrorless cameras as well and they are great “everyday” cameras, but when you need a beast, you need a beast.

Glad it was helpful!

D700, great camera! Wish the D750 came out sooner than it did. #photography

Is the D850 worth the upgrade from these? #photography

The URSA 12K is a 1.3x crop factor so it is very close to full frame.

Blackmagic has the Cine 12k, which has a full frame 24x36mm sensor. They are also releasing a 17k version of that camera soon.

Thank you! Want to try this for some future videos!

@@unreelcreativehow about a mountain Timelapse

This protocol should be followed on all equipment with an sdi connection. Even Arri recommends it for their cameras (as do other companies) as this is something that is inherent to sdi, not the cameras/equipment. (actually Arri‘s documentation explains the issue very well)

Thank you for sharing your story! I’ll have to head over and check out your landscape photos. 😊

I do like the Z9. It’s probably in our future.
