Thomas F they said it was their recommendation for people that can't spend $3800 on a body. Basically they are the same, but the d850 does better when you can really get close up.
Tony & Chelsea Northrup I just took a picture the other day of one of those spiders from early in this video. Due to my budget, I use only a Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus, therefore, not nearly as impressive as this d850. I watched your review of the nikon d5600 and I'm aching to get the all in one bundle off of walmart.com.
First time I've heard the point that in DX mode the focus points cover the whole range. I think that's an important point as you can switch to DX and have complete range for action shots. Viewfinder image in DX was helpful too. Good point about seeing what is coming in to frame. Helpful; thank you. :-)
Jan-Frederik Schulte don't worry about the specs too much, some of my racing shots with a d5200 were featured on magazines. D850 is killer; but Its not like suddenly your d5300 becomes an iphone lol
Buy a D850 with credit, and commit to making the payments each month on time. Sacrifice something else that you were spending money on. The wonderful experiences you'll have along with the satisfaction will be worth cost.
Probably because you don't have the lenses and the will to do that, this summer i rented a 200-500 5.6 for one week and i got amazing shoots with my 5500, pretty sure you can do the same with the 5300. ;)
I have the Tamron 150-600 5-6.3, so I do have the glass ;-) And I'm getting great results, this is just wishful thinking. I'm mostly annoyed with lacking frame rate and especially RAW buffer, and the AF system could of course always be better.
APSC are great for open land wildlife, however, for forest birds and animals, full frame sensor has advantage with better low light, 50% of bird shots are in shades..
Very true what you said, however, the more light advantage is better when you fill the frame. If you shoot DX, you should get the same ISO/low light performance as a D500.
i like this channel... i'm a nikon guy (two nikon cameras.. no budget to switch.. etc etc...) i have the typical canon hate just for show... but having honest cross product reviews is cool.. (even if i do own a D850!)
Ton & Chel, where are you shooting this? My wife and I are looking for good places in CT and at the shore. I like that you have a blind there, assuming the subjects are in 'range', not requiring too much cropping. She has a 500 with 500mm and I have a 750 with a 600mm.
D850 looks like a dream camera, for sure. One point, though, isn't it still easier to get a focus point on a distant subject with a D500 with the subject being larger in the viewfinder?
Tony that lens mount seems pretty sturdy, I see you are holding it with one hand on the camera with the lens dangling. I heard the lens mount and body and shutter are reinforced, is that your findings. Both of you are making this camera harder to resist purchasing, great work as always.
Excellent review! I will stick with my D5 for wildlife photography, and the D810A for higher resolution and astro-photography for now. As you mentioned, investing in lenses seems a good alternative
I do like the idea of getting rid of my D750 and D500 to work with one body. I found myself using the D500 for most things but couldnt bring myself to get rid of the full frame. Its just nice to have a full frame for low light/indoor stuff and portrait shooting.
Thank you for another great video. A little surprised that Tony was disappointed not to be able to look through the viewfinder while recording movies. Can you do that on any DSLR?
Why nobody(except for Sony Artisans) is talking about Sony a9?, it is a camera that is just like 2 months older than Nikon D850. Do you think the a9 is in the same league of 1DM-II, or D5?
Tony, I have never heard much about the Nikon wildlife lenses that you use. You have great reveiws of the Canon glass, but what about the Nikon? Could you give us a review of your Nikon wildlife lenses? Thanks!
Nikon 200-500 man, its a winner, only $1400 and very high quality. Yes, the $10,000 Nikon 500mm prime is better, but that's if you have $10,000 to spend to gain 1 stop of light.
It's almost as if this video was specially made for me, except I don't really shoot wildlife, not that I don't want to, but the nearest wildlife to me is an awful public transport ride away, and I so want to write a huge rant about that, but that's not gonna add to anything :-),.... maybe I should get a car instead of the D850. Will have to wait for your landscape and travel reviews, but there's no rush. Thanks for a great earlyish review, keep up the good work!
Is the autofocus and tracking better than the D500 overall? I shoot primarily birds and want upgrade my camera. I do also love walking around the city as well as landscape.
Hi - Enjoy your reviews. -Just purchased the D500 for the shutter release speed, the auto focus system and the buffer. I enjoy taking birds in flight. My D750 takes exceptional pictures but the buffer fills fast. Its early but I've noticed that the detail in the D500 doesn't match the D750 full frame. To get it all do I need to jump to the D5?
I find the under-discussed issue of "cropability" very interesting when it comes to evaluating bodies and lenses. I don't have an unlimited budget and shoot with a Canon 6D. I own the 135mm F2 and shoot almost exclusively for the Web. I find that the photos I take with the 135 and FF body are amazingly croppable - they look gorgeous even when cropped drastically; somewhat more so when shot in daylight than under tungsten or fluorescent lighting. The 135 gives me a sneaky feeling, like I'm getting away with something by shooting stage events at F2 and 1/800 and having the photos look wonderful. Yeah, who needs a long 2.8 stabilized zoom? I wonder if croppability would be an interesting subject for a future video.
P.S. Tony, have you tried using Camera Raw for shadow recovery? Much better than Lightroom. The Camera Raw filter is very useful when I'm working on Tiffs or jpegs and need to tweak shadows.
You mentioned, what I was gonna ask/say, is how if you are always cropping, the FF image here will be the same basically as a crop sensor. But, wouldn't a crop sensor always get a closer/more detailed image? Or at least matched? You'd always have to crop to match the APSC FOV. If you are limited by the lens min. focusing distance, I'd think the Crop sensor will get same/more detail than high MP FF? Well, depending on the FF MP/AA Filter/etc. Seems like main benefit of FF for wildlife, is wider FOV, and if not cropping, then the image should be cleaner/better, I guess?
If you still recommend the D500, how about the D7500? It shoots a little slower and doesn't have the D5 AF, but still, it seems like a good deal for the price. It's smaller, lighter and has the handy U1/U2 settings. Still uses the D500 sensor, so IQ should be the same.
Tony and Chelsea.Great update on the D850. An off question. What do you think of google photos to free up storage while on the go? Reviews are great but, my concern is I believe google downgrades the photo when storing and you can never get that back? Not sure if that is fact.
a really nice channel you have. I am just a 17 year old boy, but I really like your videos. I am saving money for a new camera now because my d200 has lots of dead pixels now and already 150.000 shots on it. My dream is to have a better camera one day, but to this day I have to save money. With only 42€/Month that will be a struggle, but I will make this somehow.
I know this is about wildlife shooting. However, in one of your videos covering the D850 I would like to see the photo shift feature in action with postproduction.
Hi Tony and Chelsea , I was wondering if you would do a detailed Comparison of d850 and 5D IV with same lens and settings . Would love to see the differences between them in terms of Image quality on constant lens and ISO , Dynamic range , Auto Focus , Size and Built, also Video aspect
nice comparison, but seeing as you are saying about the "viewfinder" experience in video, how about a compare with the fujifilm G X 50 s (a medium format camera- ~50 MP camera with the advantage of video and a mirror less cameras full time live view composition feature ). in light of the comparisons you made re the wildlife scenario this seems a good contender to match with.
Hey does anyone know if tony and Chelsea did a video on extension tubes. I noticed they mentioned it in this video, but since I’m newer to the game here I have no clue what they do or what they are exactly.
I still really wish it had dual XQD card slots but Jesus Cripes, Nikon produced a camera I'm actually excited about in the D850. Very nice video as always, thanks.
Soooooooooo... In crop mode you can have something in the view finder which actually won't be grab by the sensor (as you said viewfinder doesn't crop)?
I will be collecting my first full frame camera today !! Nikon D850 of course ✌️ Should I buy New Tamron 24-70mm G2 lens instead of 24-120mm Kit Lens ? Any other lens for Landscape & Travel photography !!
For wildlife I love the Sony a99ii, 11.6fps with hybrid AF at 42mpix, plus its video is phenomenal, not forgetting live view evf 😉 having said that, the d850 is a tempting offering, just not quite and a99ii, but neither is the a99ii not quite a d850. Superb camera from Nikon.
What is the buffer size for the D500? I didn't see that mentioned in the video and I seem to remember it was something very large. Also, do you have a larger buffer size when shooting the D850 in 20MP mode?
hello, this nikon d850 have touch screen, in terrain is good or bad? Please help but i think about buy this camera for wildlife shooting. When is cold, work this touch screen?
It's a mistake to think that 20 percent more megapixels equals 20 percent more of focal length. When your focal length gets X times as long, your subject area will be X to the power of two times as big. Thanks for your useful videos.
Hi, I am a bit confused with your comment about the cropping and the 20 MP option. Does it mean the image get crop on your view finder when selecting lower images sizes? Thanks
Thank you guys...I really like your videos. I´d like you do a comparison between the Sony A9 and this Nikon D850. I know that it´s not that easy but if you can do it would be great. I´d like to switch from Nikon to Sony and i´d buy the A9 because i think it has more video features than the Nikon D850 (I do both video and photography) but i want to be sure because that change represent me changing all my lenses. Congratulations for your work. Greetings from and Argentinian guy in Barcelona!!
I have a question about super telephotos with the D850. Which would you say is a better lens for the D850, the Nikkor 200-500 f/5.6, the Tamron 150-600 G2 or the Sigma 150-600 sport? I will be using it primarily for wildlife photography. Thanks Jeff
The 850 almost seems like a dream come true. I was wondering if yo have or will be trying the body with Nikons' 200-500 , 5.6. I'd be curious how fast and accurate the auto focus is with this combo.
Thanks ! Nice lens and not too pricey... 600 f4 is way TOO expensive :) I was also looking on Tamron 150-600 mm, is it bad lens or similar compare to Nikkor 200-500mm
Tony, I bought the stunning digital book last year I believe and I notice the one you advertise says 14 hours video but mine said 12 hours. Is there 2 editions?
Yeah, we update and expand it regularly (but everyone gets free updates). If you haven't yet, visit sdp.io/register to register, and then you can download the latest version of the ebook.
Does the DX mode generate crop sized RAW files, or just embed the data that the full frame image is cropped? I've used the 16:9 mode in Canon (just as a reference for what will be in frame when making it a wallpaper) and it just does the latter, but maybe less data throughput would give you more usable buffer even if it sacrifices the ability to recompose after the fact.
Great video, could you give me more explanation about the DX mode as I don't understand it. I want to try this function on my Nikon D610. Thanks in advance.
hi I have a D500 with sigma 150-600 sport combo for wildlife and D610 with nikon 20mm 1.8 for landscape. I’m thinking to go for D850 in place of this two. Is this good idea in your opinion. Or should I wait a bit spare some money and sell only D610 and keep D500.
Great stuff. Question. What zooms were you using on the D850 and do you think that the camera will be just too good for those "cheaper" zooms like the Tamron 150-600 ? Also, I'd love to see the focus peaking in action. Thanks.
It's the sdp.io/n200500, which is a pretty cheap zoom. we need to get better glass for the D850. But most people are using the cheaper zooms with APS-C bodies, so you'd have similar sharpness 1:1, and better sharpness when you can fill the frame.
Tony, I have an upcoming trip to Eygpt. Wat travel lens would you recommend? I have about $3000 available to purchase the lens. I was thinking Tamron 24-70 f2.8 g2, Nikon 35 f1.8 and a Tamron 70-200 f2.8 g2 SP?? Let me know what you think. Thanks.
Hi! I wanted to ask you which camera has the better AF speed and accuracy for Birds in flight ? D500 or D850 ? And there is a huge improvement in the AF speed comparing to Nikon D750/810 ?
Do you think using the Olympus EE-1 dot sight on the hot shoe would solve the targeting problem you have shooting video with only the Live View available? I know it seems kind of gimmicky but it could be just the ticket in this case. Mirrorlessons did a good video review of it.
+Chad Goddard I did shoot a soccer game at night and it went great. It's the same situation as wildlife... But if you get the Sigma 120-300 with the D850 you'll get some amazing results. But for the price, most will be happy with the d500
As always, really appreciate the review. Would love to see specific recommendations for glass. 15ish-24ish, 24-70, 70-200 and 200-400 ish ranges. I just ordered the camera and am fully switching from Canon and need to replace all my L glass. I have already ordered the new Tamron 24-70 G2.
I would absolutely love to have the D850, it would be a huge update from the D5200. But unfortunately my budget is rather limited and that likely breaks the deal entirely. Any recommended options I could go for instead? Lenses owned atm: - Sigma 50mm 1:1.4 DG HSM - Sigma 17-70mm 1:2.8-4 DC - Tamron AF 70-300mm LD Di
Should i upgrade to the 850 from my d300? I know its a generic question but here is my deliema.. I am about onr thousand dollars away from switching to the Sony A9 and i must admit this is not helping LOL
I put my order in for the d850 one week ago along with the Tamron 24-70 G2. The store tells me Im going to have to wait quite some time to get the camera. Sad I sold my d750 to soon :( Question: Why would you ever shoot wildlife with the D850 in DX mode ? would it not be better to shoot FX then do your 1.5 crop (more or less) in post ? That way you could compose perfectly in post rather they get the one and only chance to compose in the viewfinder. ?
Tony & Chelsea would you make a d750 vs d500 and what would you recommend for someone stepping up in cameras,they say even iso noise level and night photography is better in D500,but d750 is fullframe? and i dont know
Random PhotoEnthusiast Jared Polin says so but I don't believe him. Kai says correctly that the D750 is better. If you have any doubt just get the D850.
How did you get the camera to NOT hunt for focus all the time? It seemed to keep everything in focus for this video. Is there a video mode for this or you had a guy manual focus through the whole video? I am in between the 5D Mark 4 and this one, and video auto focus is important to me, so please help guys
Is there no increase in speed in terms of burst rate when using the DX crop mode? Since only about 56% of the pixels have to be handled, it should make a difference in performance, no?

Do you think the D500 is still a good camera?
Thomas F they said it was their recommendation for people that can't spend $3800 on a body.
Basically they are the same, but the d850 does better when you can really get close up.
Thanks
Tony & Chelsea Northrup I just took a picture the other day of one of those spiders from early in this video. Due to my budget, I use only a Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus, therefore, not nearly as impressive as this d850. I watched your review of the nikon d5600 and I'm aching to get the all in one bundle off of walmart.com.
Nicolas Morris get a refurb , save money and get some good glass.
First time I've heard the point that in DX mode the focus points cover the whole range. I think that's an important point as you can switch to DX and have complete range for action shots. Viewfinder image in DX was helpful too. Good point about seeing what is coming in to frame. Helpful; thank you. :-)
The D500 is 10FS? so wouldn't that be better for birds? plus with the extra crop reach?
And here I'm sitting with my D5300 and my mouth watering :-D
Jan-Frederik Schulte don't worry about the specs too much, some of my racing shots with a d5200 were featured on magazines. D850 is killer; but Its not like suddenly your d5300 becomes an iphone lol
Buy a D850 with credit, and commit to making the payments each month on time. Sacrifice something else that you were spending money on. The wonderful experiences you'll have along with the satisfaction will be worth cost.
Probably because you don't have the lenses and the will to do that, this summer i rented a 200-500 5.6 for one week and i got amazing shoots with my 5500, pretty sure you can do the same with the 5300. ;)

I started with 5300, took some of my best work with it. I'm at the d750 level now, with much better glass... it just takes time build.
05:31 - Gorgeous detail!
The last shot where Tony recovers the detail in the bird's eye - it's astounding!
APSC are great for open land wildlife, however, for forest birds and animals, full frame sensor has advantage with better low light, 50% of bird shots are in shades..
Very true what you said, however, the more light advantage is better when you fill the frame. If you shoot DX, you should get the same ISO/low light performance as a D500.
Love this overview, especially like you showing that DX mode in camera view
Can't wait for the portrait and landscape reviews!
Unbelievable detail and sharpness.
We really need a review of the D7500, i think it's long overdue :)
Notification squad is here! ❤️😂
Chelsea Northrup 😄
hey that's Flossys statement haha
Ohh my goodness .. I am so in Love with you 😍
Chelsea & Tony great review as usual, your effort is appreciated.
I have already D750 but this D850 take my breath away !!!
I have the D750 and been using it for 1.5 years now, but in wildlife photography, the d850 is alot better because of the MP and AF advantage.
How much ll come indian rupees d850
35 dislikes? Seriously, what's not to like about this video! Great job guys.
John Gray Canon and Sony owners..
Best Wildlife camera I can't afford! Amazing do all camera though, Nikon pulled out the stops on this one.
This camera looks awesome!
Let's not forget the fact that you are using a zoom lens on your D850 while a prime on your 5Ds
Have you seen his test of prime vs zoom. Plus a d850 is much better than a 5dsr
Exciting to hear these specific details. Thank you!
i like this channel... i'm a nikon guy (two nikon cameras.. no budget to switch.. etc etc...) i have the typical canon hate just for show... but having honest cross product reviews is cool.. (even if i do own a D850!)

Fascinating. Excellent insights, especially the full frame view when using DX mode. Tony is the best.
I'm really looking forward to seeing the full reviews. I thing that would probably cause me to switch; how does the AF in video mode perform.
Nice review. Not sure if it's my headset but that hiss sound is crazy.
Tony that lens mount seems pretty sturdy, I see you are holding it with one hand on the camera with the lens dangling. I heard the lens mount and body and shutter are reinforced, is that your findings. Both of you are making this camera harder to resist purchasing, great work as always.
Excellent review! I will stick with my D5 for wildlife photography, and the D810A for higher resolution and astro-photography for now. As you mentioned, investing in lenses seems a good alternative
I do like the idea of getting rid of my D750 and D500 to work with one body. I found myself using the D500 for most things but couldnt bring myself to get rid of the full frame. Its just nice to have a full frame for low light/indoor stuff and portrait shooting.
Excellent review , looking for the rest of the series
Thank you for another great video. A little surprised that Tony was disappointed not to be able to look through the viewfinder while recording movies. Can you do that on any DSLR?
marvelous. just one thing; the shutter is quite loud? or.
Why nobody(except for Sony Artisans) is talking about Sony a9?, it is a camera that is just like 2 months older than Nikon D850. Do you think the a9 is in the same league of 1DM-II, or D5?

Is the autofocus and tracking better than the D500 overall? I shoot primarily birds and want upgrade my camera. I do also love walking around the city as well as landscape.
Hi - Enjoy your reviews. -Just purchased the D500 for the shutter release speed, the auto focus system and the buffer. I enjoy taking birds in flight.

+mLichy911 generally, yes (see sdp.io/density) but in this case the density is exactly the same, so cropping the FF gives you equivalent results.
will the D850 shoot 9 fps with an after market grip?
Thanks Tony, great detailed video, nice comparison to Canon, Sony and the D500 Nikon
Awesome! Could you maybe shoot some astrophotography with it? Would love to see some 45 megapixel starry goodness!
Definitely planning on that!
If you still recommend the D500, how about the D7500? It shoots a little slower and doesn't have the D5 AF, but still, it seems like a good deal for the price. It's smaller, lighter and has the handy U1/U2 settings. Still uses the D500 sensor, so IQ should be the same.

Did you change your wildlife setup to the nikkor 200-500? Correct me if i am wrong but as far as i saw that was the lense in the entire video.
a really nice channel you have. I am just a 17 year old boy, but I really like your videos. I am saving money for a new camera now because my d200 has lots of dead pixels now and already 150.000 shots on it. My dream is to have a better camera one day, but to this day I have to save money.

Great review so far. What are you doing about a charger for the grip battery - are there any cheaper alternatives to the D5 battery charger?
Yeah you can buy a cheap charger for it... like $20 or $30.
I know this is about wildlife shooting. However, in one of your videos covering the D850 I would like to see the photo shift feature in action with postproduction.
Awesome review again Tony!
Did you saw the new Tamron SP 24-70mm f/2.8 Di VC USD G2? Could you please make a review?
yoo what is this, these high quality contents coming so fast =D
It's what they do. When you devote most of your time to something you're able to come up with high quality product.
On the tiny side of wildlife photography, the D850 makes even spiders smile. I love mine and it's bug season down here in Oz!
Hi Tony and Chelsea , I was wondering if you would do a detailed Comparison of d850 and 5D IV with same lens and settings . Would love to see the differences between them in terms of Image quality on constant lens and ISO , Dynamic range , Auto Focus , Size and Built, also Video aspect

Great Review, Thank you! are you doing separate reviews? like street photography, landscape , studio, portrait , etc
We're doing some as separate segments, because people are pretty eager to find out more info.
yay.. thanks tony! i guess this is my perfect camera for wildlife.
Tony & Chelsea Northrup did tony swiftly mention the video af was "fine"?! I was not hoping for better LiveView AF but please detail that next time.
Hey does anyone know if tony and Chelsea did a video on extension tubes. I noticed they mentioned it in this video, but since I’m newer to the game here I have no clue what they do or what they are exactly.
I still really wish it had dual XQD card slots but Jesus Cripes, Nikon produced a camera I'm actually excited about in the D850. Very nice video as always, thanks.
getting really excited by this one.
Soooooooooo... In crop mode you can have something in the view finder which actually won't be grab by the sensor (as you said viewfinder doesn't crop)?
Oh, I missed the "viewfinder blackout" explanation in the beginning. Sorry. So question already answered ;)
Thank you for the video.
Why was there so much static from the sound? Do you not invest in good mic or was it just the location?
I will be collecting my first full frame camera today !! Nikon D850 of course ✌️
Should I buy New Tamron 24-70mm G2 lens instead of 24-120mm Kit Lens ?
Any other lens for Landscape & Travel photography !!
For wildlife I love the Sony a99ii, 11.6fps with hybrid AF at 42mpix, plus its video is phenomenal, not forgetting live view evf 😉 having said that, the d850 is a tempting offering, just not quite and a99ii, but neither is the a99ii not quite a d850. Superb camera from Nikon.

hello, this nikon d850 have touch screen, in terrain is good or bad? Please help but i think about buy this camera for wildlife shooting. When is cold, work this touch screen?
Cheers guys nice video as always .. in the thumbnail it looks like Chelsea is holdin a hunting rifle with a bad ass scope..
Are you guys doing an in depth tutorial of the D850 anytime soon ?
It's a mistake to think that 20 percent more megapixels equals 20 percent more of focal length. When your focal length gets X times as long, your subject area will be X to the power of two times as big. Thanks for your useful videos.
Hi, I am a bit confused with your comment about the cropping and the 20 MP option. Does it mean the image get crop on your view finder when selecting lower images sizes?
Thanks
Thank you guys...I really like your videos. I´d like you do a comparison between the Sony A9 and this Nikon D850. I know that it´s not that easy but if you can do it would be great. I´d like to switch from Nikon to Sony and i´d buy the A9 because i think it has more video features than the Nikon D850 (I do both video and photography) but i want to be sure because that change represent me changing all my lenses. Congratulations for your work. Greetings from and Argentinian guy in Barcelona!!
What lens are you two using while you're talking in the blind?
What lenses did you use and recommend on D850? Is 200-500 good? Or better off with prime lens, like 300mm etc? Thanks
Hi Tony, would you consider reviewing the Leica SL and some of the lenses it has?
I have a question about super telephotos with the D850. Which would you say is a better lens for the D850, the Nikkor 200-500 f/5.6, the Tamron 150-600 G2 or the Sigma 150-600 sport? I will be using it primarily for wildlife photography. Thanks Jeff
The 850 almost seems like a dream come true. I was wondering if yo have or will be trying the body with
Nikons' 200-500 , 5.6. I'd be curious how fast and accurate the auto focus is with this combo.
All these shots were with the 200-500. Focusing seems great.
Nice shots taken !
Another terrific review. Thank you!
Hlw do the extensions tube you speak of for physically moving closer, like a macro tube, or something else?
Thats pretty cool video ! thanks, what lens did you use on D850 please ?
It's the sdp.io/n200500. Gotta sell our Canon and get the 600 f4!
Thanks ! Nice lens and not too pricey... 600 f4 is way TOO expensive :) I was also looking on Tamron 150-600 mm, is it bad lens or similar compare to Nikkor 200-500mm
Tony, I bought the stunning digital book last year I believe and I notice the one you advertise says 14 hours video but mine said 12 hours. Is there 2 editions?
Yeah, we update and expand it regularly (but everyone gets free updates). If you haven't yet, visit sdp.io/register to register, and then you can download the latest version of the ebook.
Does the DX mode generate crop sized RAW files, or just embed the data that the full frame image is cropped? I've used the 16:9 mode in Canon (just as a reference for what will be in frame when making it a wallpaper) and it just does the latter, but maybe less data throughput would give you more usable buffer even if it sacrifices the ability to recompose after the fact.
Crop-sized raw files.
Great video, could you give me more explanation about the DX mode as I don't understand it. I want to try this function on my Nikon D610. Thanks in advance.
hi
I have a D500 with sigma 150-600 sport combo for wildlife and D610 with nikon 20mm 1.8 for landscape. I’m thinking to go for D850 in place of this two. Is this good idea in your opinion. Or should I wait a bit spare some money and sell only D610 and keep D500.
Yes...more megapixel more crop. Is great wildlife camera sony a99 II too? Or a7RII ?
Zdenek Precechtel a99ii , a7rii is good for studio work , but its too delicate , has 1 sd card slot and not enough wildlife lenses for that
hi tony great content what would you suggest between 5d markiii or d810 for wedding phtography my budget is 4000 dollar including lens
Jaipal narwal D810 and Tamron 70-200 G2 lens, use the balance on 50 & 35mm 1.8,
Great stuff. Question. What zooms were you using on the D850 and do you think that the camera will be just too good for those "cheaper" zooms like the Tamron 150-600 ?
Also, I'd love to see the focus peaking in action. Thanks.
It's the sdp.io/n200500, which is a pretty cheap zoom. we need to get better glass for the D850. But most people are using the cheaper zooms with APS-C bodies, so you'd have similar sharpness 1:1, and better sharpness when you can fill the frame.
Tony, I have an upcoming trip to Eygpt. Wat travel lens would you recommend? I have about $3000 available to purchase the lens. I was thinking Tamron 24-70 f2.8 g2, Nikon 35 f1.8 and a Tamron 70-200 f2.8 g2 SP?? Let me know what you think. Thanks.
Thanks you two! a very fine video... Some beautiful Images too!
Bismillah
Great video. Thanks. Where were you shooting at?
Hi! I wanted to ask you which camera has the better AF speed and accuracy for Birds in flight ? D500 or D850 ? And there is a huge improvement in the AF speed comparing to Nikon D750/810 ?
Do you think using the Olympus EE-1 dot sight on the hot shoe would solve the targeting problem you have shooting video with only the Live View available? I know it seems kind of gimmicky but it could be just the ticket in this case. Mirrorlessons did a good video review of it.
Hank Roest .
How is it for ports action photography? I'm thinking the D500 is still the one to beat at half the price.
+Chad Goddard I did shoot a soccer game at night and it went great. It's the same situation as wildlife... But if you get the Sigma 120-300 with the D850 you'll get some amazing results. But for the price, most will be happy with the d500
As always, really appreciate the review. Would love to see specific recommendations for glass. 15ish-24ish, 24-70, 70-200 and 200-400 ish ranges. I just ordered the camera and am fully switching from Canon and need to replace all my L glass. I have already ordered the new Tamron 24-70 G2.
I hope to get my hands on this one someday.
I would absolutely love to have the D850, it would be a huge update from the D5200. But unfortunately my budget is rather limited and that likely breaks the deal entirely. Any recommended options I could go for instead?
Lenses owned atm:
- Sigma 50mm 1:1.4 DG HSM
- Sigma 17-70mm 1:2.8-4 DC
- Tamron AF 70-300mm LD Di
Should i upgrade to the 850 from my d300? I know its a generic question but here is my deliema.. I am about onr thousand dollars away from switching to the Sony A9 and i must admit this is not helping LOL
Which auto-fouls mode were you using for birds in flight? Is it as good as D5 for this?
looks like a winner to me.....
I put my order in for the d850 one week ago along with the Tamron 24-70 G2. The store tells me Im going to have to wait quite some time to get the camera. Sad I sold my d750 to soon :(
Question: Why would you ever shoot wildlife with the D850 in DX mode ? would it not be better to shoot FX then do your 1.5 crop (more or less) in post ? That way you could compose perfectly in post rather they get the one and only chance to compose in the viewfinder. ?
Perhaps so one would not have to waste a lot of time waiting for Lightroom to digest those really big files.
not much of a reason but each to their own
+lv8pv what Jack said... It's easy to get 1000 photos in a wildlife session and big files make the processing a PITA
Tony & Chelsea would you make a d750 vs d500 and what would you recommend for someone stepping up in cameras,they say even iso noise level and night photography is better in D500,but d750 is fullframe? and i dont know
Random PhotoEnthusiast Jared Polin says so but I don't believe him. Kai says correctly that the D750 is better. If you have any doubt just get the D850.
I like you both more and more. Great channel
How did you get the camera to NOT hunt for focus all the time? It seemed to keep everything in focus for this video. Is there a video mode for this or you had a guy manual focus through the whole video?
I am in between the 5D Mark 4 and this one, and video auto focus is important to me, so please help guys
Is there no increase in speed in terms of burst rate when using the DX crop mode? Since only about 56% of the pixels have to be handled, it should make a difference in performance, no?
No. It's probably limited by the shutter & mirror performance.
