Shingap?
I'm getting it! This video just made up my mind. Thanks, great review!
Now that's what I call a very good full product review!!!
As a beginner who just bought his first DSLR (Nikon D3400), this just made me wanna learn sooo much about photography!
And yes, some day, I want a D850! :D
Great review, great video.
Subscribed and liked.
Cheers from Sweden
The D3400 is a great start. Invest in lenses first before even thinking of upgrading your camera. Lenses will always be more important than your camera. And remember, full frame is overrated these days. We're in an age where APS-C or hell, even Olympus' tiny M43 sensor is more than enough for professional photography
@@yashwinning Agreed, currently have a D3400 with a Sigma 18-35mm 1.8 ART and an amazon battery grip, people confuse it for a D850 all the time hahaha. The best part is I still use this setup professionally and the only huge reason Id upgrade is for a flip out live view.
No way I’m in the exact same situation!! I’ve had mine for a little under 2 years and I really want to research what to upgrade to!
Hi from,Rui.tuyesp
Yes
Wow! Thank you for being so informative. The video features I don't really need but the rest, WOW! Thank you!
Loved your no nonsense review, subscribed and liked
Awesome!!! Great to have you
great review Dan. superb work.
Excellent review! short and straight to the point with great cinematics! keep this up!
Thank you so much!
That was a nice review WOW I'm getting mine this year ...... COOL
Great review! I have both the D810 and D500 , they are gathering dust now, I love them but this D850 has just blown me away . I have little interest in video. I cannot mount a video on my wall. This is a camera . Its built like a tank , it’s not a toy, it’s not a video camera. Nothing but love for you folks that are into that. Give me my D850, give me bad weather , give me low light , and I will bring Home magic. This thing has my heart, Gift from my wife for Christmas, I now believe in Santa again. Cheers ...b
Robert Smith screw video...you are spot on,mines ordered.
David Dowling , congrats buddy !! Your gonna love it !!!!
Good luck with the D850. I shoot a lot of wildlife and when using the D850 on the 600f4 and the 400 f2.8, the focus was definitely slower than the D500. The pixel pitch is similar and the final outputs looks close (maybe a little cleaner on the D500). Any opinions?
John J , hey John, I was at first finding that the D850 was a bit slower to focus than my D500. I’m finding that the D850 is getting better the more I shoot it. I probably would give a slight nod to the 500 but hey that’s a pretty good camera to run a close 2nd too ! And the images !!!! Oh my, just unreal. Cheers buddy.
Thanks for the insight Rob. I do a lot of sporting events and the D500 is an incredible tool. Some friends I shoot wildlife with use the biggest and newest Nikon and Canon gear, so I got to try the D850 in actual settings compared to my D500. It's not a lot slower but to me, and others that shoot fast action, it's noticeable. The D5 is even faster still but that's a very specialized sports beast.
As an aside, I've been getting more portrait requests for which the D850 will be an improvement. IMO most people can't tell the difference between FX and DX in a 8x10 as long as the photographers knows what they are doing: lighting, pose, location, etc. I plan on using it for portraits, landscapes and stationary wildlife. Thanks again.
Amazing portraits Dan. 👌👌👌
Thanks Zach!!!
Awesome work as usual Dan👍📷❤
Thanks so much Sarah
You are absolutely right Dan. I hit and sub already !! Great review of D 850 !!
AWESOME!
Great review as always Dan
Thanks!!!
Great work 👌
Outstanding review
Your thumbnail immediately stood our from the rest of the d850 reviews. Got my attention quite well. 👌
Appreciate that!
Great review ...and great camera .. thank you
Short, sweet and to the point. I like it.
Great review Dan, ( canon user here ) , D850 possibly the best camera on the market as we speak!
You are the Best ✌
Great Review
My new must have 😍😍😍😍😍
I have had it for over a year now and its amazing!
That thumbnail is 🔥🔥🔥
best wallpaper
I'm a canon user and will continue to use their cams/lenses, however I am definitely adding the D850 to my quiver. Best cam in the market
Use canon 5d mark4
Won't touch it, image quality, ergonomics. The color science is just spectacular. I have shot both 850 wins.
Great video, new sub.
Just got a d850 for my wife, she had a d5300. She wanted one for a long time. I think she will love it. Great review thanks.
1:30 that picture made me rewind and pause it... just to admire the picture! Really nice
Thanks! Getting a d850 next week. Got a d3 and d2x which are great cameras.
its a great camera , iv tuned my d850 to shoot like its loaded with ilford delta 400 high contrast black and white film ☺ , full circle
Very well done!!! Any plans to review the leica SL mirrorless camera?
Appreciate that! It's a bit expensive for me with what is likely a limited option but if Leica wanted to send me one in, hell yeah!!!
Everytime i watch these videos i cry..
Excellent review, dan. Would be even better if you could slow down a bite.
Try viewing at 0.75x speed.
Great review and photos/videos Dan--thanks for sharing. I agree the D850 is a great camera....however, I went with the A7R III. I do own the D500 (just sold) and D4...may eventually buy the D850 if I sell my D4; invested heavily in Nikon glass!
I am very interested in your opinion as I am also heavily invested in Nikon glass. Did you buy fe mount glass for your A7R III or do you use your nikon glass with an adapter? I am hesitating a lot to switch to Sony but you know...all this Nikon glass...
Tim: I only use a manual adapter and shoot with Sony glass 99% of the time. I choose not to invest in an expensive AF adapter--virtually useless for video at least when adapting Nikon, Sigma and Canon glass to the Sony A7RIII and A6500 (I own this little beauty as well). Just my experience and humble opinion.
Just part ex'd my Nikon Kit with Wex, A7r3 and Gmaster lenses arriving soon. Speak to Wex corporate team they do some sweet deals on price. £700 off !!
Swing Away I'm saving up I won't buy the Nikon d850 if price don't go own i just buy the canon 5d m4 with 24-70 2.8 mk2
That bokeh in the background looks gorgeous. What lens are you using ?
The beauty of a fully mature technology
Agreed...the D850 is still amazing and has aged extremely well because of that maturity. But the new Z8 is pretty much fully matured. In some instances the D850 autofocus is still better but it's limited to only the center portion of the frame while the Z8 can focus anywhere with more intelligence. Also the Z8 finally utilizes the advantage to not having a mirror and has much faster frame rates without any shutter wear and without any viewfinder blackout when shooting. Obviously video on mirrorless cameras is vastly superior but even for photos, this is the year of mirrorless maturity. I think Nikon needs 1 more gen to master AF but with everything else, they nailed the formula perfectly
great review I'm upgrading my d800e to d850
Someone also subs to the art list io lol. Great review!
Great video on the Nikon D850. I am not worried that the D850 isn't the best camera for video but that suits me just fine as I personally am not into shooting video.
If I change my mind down the track I will go and get a proper video camera or even a Mirrorless camera.
I am so happy I got D850 as a birthday gift 😊😊😊
That's a freaking awesome birthday gift!

Geez somebody loves you
Awesome video.. I recently worked with a group of photographers in India.. All had the same camera.. I'm a tour guide so I usually and always come across.. They were Natgeo professional photographers
Love this camera, shot a wedding the weekend with it. Loved it, silent view in LV is sooo misunderstood, i got some shots that you just wouldn't know was in LV. I use LV even to quick shoot with Flash. Live view preview mode, you can have it in auto focus mode, in preview with focus peaking and then Manual focus as you want to see focus is spot on, or shoot in M, Set SS and AP and set auto iso in body 64-XXXX and run and shoot. There was a moment in the wedding where the whole event went quiet 100% a person had passed away before the wedding, There was noooo way i was clicking Q mode or normal, as i already setup LV before, i just switched to LV silent Mode, catching that emotional moment, nobody knew and it didnt interrupt the moment in any way. Love it.
I did put a post up on an 850 Forum, however i deleted it. People are very critical and dont like to be told how it works best. Would love to see just 1 video on youtube that shows actual use and what works with it instead of the camera pointing at a wall, there are def benefits to it, banding is always a worry, but easy to sort it by going Lower SS, frequencies of lights vary, found banding on LV in only 2 light sources so far with EFC, easy to overcome.
Hey Dan, which camera would you choose to work with for an all around camera? The d850 or the Z7? After my observations of the Z7, the improvements are only marginal. Secondly, which camera and lens did you shoot this video with? Thanks dude...
Just wait until you see what this camera can do when coupled with the beast that is the 70-200E FL lens! It is THE must have lens for this camera! The amount of detail the two of these produce together is mind-blowing.
Lake Eola is such a great location for photos :)
Still review your video in 2019. I am a big fan of Nikon. I like its design and operation system. Meanwhile, I suppose Nikon is the best camera for photography, no comparison.
I just bought one! I know it's kind of aging now in the world of mirrorless, but it's like driving a porsche, you love the rugged tough feel and mechanical aspect to it. Can't wait to try it out, this camera made me switch from Canon.
Coming down from d3300....I am eager for this one
Bro! I love your videos...I've been a subcriber for a while now. But Man, I REALLY feel that you should say Dan Watson Learning Cameras DOT COM like you used to. Lol For New comers to the channel it would seem that YOU are just learning cameras, not that you have a website... Just my 2 cent. :)You and Sally do great work! Keep it up!
Thanks so much Markus!!! We really appreciate that. Good call too
Very well done review I agree with everything stated here. I too am very disappointed with the live view performance. Having good video AF and live-view these days is becoming a prerequisite for higher-end cameras like this. Nikon has always had excellent image quality but they need to learn that IQ isn't everything, usability also matters. Unusable live-view and video AF will not cut it in 2018.
Actually, the numbers would seem to disagree with you. The D500 sold, and is selling, very well and it looks like the D850 is going to be a hot potato too. It appears that video AF is not all that important in 2018. These two cameras are primarily stills cameras and they are spectacularly useable for that. Apparently there isn't enough interest in video to hurt their sales very much. Year after year Nikon brings out best-selling cameras with mediocre video focus performance and year after year the video people sing the same song. Maybe you need to learn that video isn't everything; actually, maybe video isn't very important at all.
Agreed, when I need Video performance I use a video camera, professional video cameras have usually had no or at best poor autofocus Particularly with a swing towards bodies which use 4/3 and EOS lenses, autofocus is less and less relevant for example the Blackmagic and Red cameras. I just received my D850 and my only disappointment is I waited so long. In my professional work I will sometimes need some video to complement stills and the ability of most modern SLR's to shoot video is a benefit. On the other hand, if I was shooting a video, I would use a dedicated video camera with the DSLR kept for B roll. Bottom line horses for courses (however the full frame 4k from the 850 is superb.)
Image quality IS everything.
I own the D500 and it is amazing for stills, but that doesn't mean I don't absolutely hate it when I see a video opportunity and watch it struggle while trying to focus in live view.
There's also the odd situation where I want to get a low to the ground shot and, while the flip screen is nice, it is almost made useless when auto-focus hunts because Nikon refuses to fix the issue on their cameras.
It got so bad that I just picked up a Canon SL2 to use as a carry around video camera for when I do shoots and for high resolution stills I have a Nikon D800E. I will not be buying the D850 because, while I'm sure it's a great camera, I demand more for 3 Grand.
Tech Savvy there are different generations of photographers. i feel that younger photographers dont just care about stills. they are making videos for weddings, events, youtube/music videos, and ads for small businesses. Older photographers seem to only be about the stills. Nikon made an excellent camera for stills, but video is garbage. They are going to yield the next generation to sony and canon if they dont watch out and fix this problem. I grew up on nikon, my father used nikon, i have an emotional attachment to nikon, and I wish I didnt because given my work the Canon Mark IV would make SO much more sense. But im going to buy this camera knowing ill probably pick up a cheaper one for video whereas the high end sony or canon would be the most logical choice
I assume it offers medium and small raw files but how is the dynamic range in those size files for pulling shadows and recovering highlights?
Spot on review and it's on my want list. Like may others I have no interest in using a DSLR for video at all (I have the use of a 4K Sony PXW-Z150 when I want it) and as I have big hands I also want a nice big camera as well :-) Now all I need is the money :-/
I'm a learning photographer with a Nikon D5300, watching this makes me want to throw away my D5300. Smh! Someday I'll get this
Gotta start somewhere
I started with a D3300 years ago. Today I just got a D850. I needed the D3300 to teach me before I could ever handle the D850.
2:38 - 2:45 you asked and answer your self... Exactly becouse of sony, many people will by sony mirrorless also to have as a lighter camera so they can switch memory cards from one to another
Idk why but im 13 year old with a samsung st77 compact camera(terrible) that i found from the attic watching a review of the best camera on the market without even any plan buying one
Hi,
Great Review. Did you shoot the video with Nikon d850?
Thanks! No, I believe I shot it with the GH5
I'm going to buy my first camera in a matter of weeks and it's already a killer Nikon DSLR (D750 unused body-only for a *very* good price) but the D850 really seems to be what I would also call the Ultimate.
As a Nikon sports wildlife photographer I completely agree with your review. It is a very neutral review of the D850. If you shoot a lot of video, this camera is not for you, but if you shoot mostly still it's a no brainer. If you shoot big glass for wildlife, you won't switch to Sony. I do envy eye and LV AF but the normal AF and lack of lens selection is subpar; get me a 600 f4 and I'll be glad to try it out with the A7R3. The D850 does focus slower than the D500 and can never be expected to have the same buffer considering the file sizes, so it won't be my workhorse especially for birds in flight. But for what it is, a portrait and landscape camera that can do some light action, it's very well rounded.
Besides the lenses, my biggest gripe with Sony is the lens barrel to grip distance. My hand rubs when mounting a lot of G glass, I wear L gloves, and I find it ridiculous ergonomics. I realize they want to keep it a small form factor but it's completely unprofessional for big glass. Keep the APSc sensor cameras smaller. If you are buying a FX body with any higher priced lenses (which are all large) the smaller form factor is actually a hindrance IMO.
John J if you set your D850 in crop mode, does it help on the buffer? Because it would be the same megapixels then the D500 correct?
Hi ,Thanks for the review of the monster,I've to ask this camera is still worthy to purchase in 2019-2020 as I want to purchase a high end dslr and I'm confuse between Nikon D850 and Canon 5D Mark IV.Please suggest one I'm already a Nikon user.
Z7
Nice and objective review! D850 is a great camera for sure, and while i shoot actions a lot with D500, i find myself using 850 more and checking my shots of the past 5 months i am surprised I shot as many portraits/landscape as sports!
One day
Aloha Dan: Thanks as always for the great reviews. Yesterday I received my D850 and today UPS is returning it to the seller. I was not impressed with the build quality (the plastic shell)...in fact, I thought the battery door was flimsy unlike that of my A7R III, A6500, D7200...or D4 (a tank)!. In fact, my D7200 has a more robust build...just my humble opinion.
Thanks! Wow, that's interesting
I like it nikon
Thank you so much for this review Dan, it was really helpful! I am about to sell my D810 to help me to fund this one and I have a question please. Where should I buy a good quality memory card for D850? Also, what is the highest capacity this camera supports? Thank you!
Appreciate that!!! Here is all the gear I recommend for the D850 (including cards) and these link only to the re-sellers I personally purchase from: kit.com/learningcameras/nikon-d850
I'm SUPER careful on where I buy!!! Hope that helps
From a professional perspective this far outclasses the Sony a7riii, I say that because a Pro doesn't rely on live view, eye auto focus or body stabilisation to get the shot, the 850 has everything they need and importantly it's in a body that unlike an a7 can take operate in all conditions. I'm not anti Sony, there great cameras but I'm tired of seeing comments like those on here about how superior they are when there not. (If clarification is needed check out Reuters, Getty, PA, AFP plus all other press & sports agencies using Canon and Nikon, should point out these are photographers not gear geeks:).
I'm going to take a huge issue that a Pro doesn't rely on live view, eye AF, or Stabilization. The reason most pros have not in the past was that these systems were not reliable enough for professional use!!! But that has completely changed and any pro will use whatever tech is available to help them get the shot. If I am shooting an overhead shot at a reception or getting super low to the ground, having live view is great! Have you seen the 100's of photographers after a superbowl holding their 1DX cameras over their heads just guessing at what they are shooting! Imagine being able to flip the screen down and getting the SAME AF performance as if you had your eye to the viewfinder but now you can actually frame your shot. Why wouldn't a pro use live view for that? Many pro photographers have too many lenses or contracts with brands to just switch on the fly as well plus Sony has very little above 400mm which these big agencies need but I think we will see a bit shift in the next 2 years. Again, the D850 might be the best of the bunch but I wouldn't dis those Sony features. It used to be that pros didn't use AF...again, that was simply because it was less reliable than MF but once it became faster and more reliable than an experienced and trained operator, every pro started using it.
Hi, can you please let me know the tripod you used & the head used that appear in this video.
Nice camera.....
please endurance vs d500 Full Frame tank vs DX Tank (D850 vs D500)
lake eola, nice
what tripod do you use for the camera in the video?
Thaank for this video! I'm ready to FINALLY upgrade from my venerable Nikon D750...is this camera the best way to go without going mirrorless?
If you don't need to do much with live view, don't need autofocus in video, and don't want to go mirrorless, the D850 is the ultimate DSLR. Otherwise look at the D780 which is kind of like a hybrid DSLR and mirrorless camera.
@@learningcameras Thanks for the response, you're reading my mind! The 780 sounds like a step up from my 750 and the 850 sounds like the ultimate way to go:
I'm not really into video, but I do want a camera that will help my photojournalism assignments; Shall I flip a coin between the two, or would you recommend
one over the other? :) Keep up the great work with your videos!
Thanks for the helpful review. I mostly shoot astro using the d810, but am struggling between the d850 and A7 R III as an upgrade. While I find the d810 great, it's ability to handle high iso and using live view at night for focusing is a real challenge. Is the D850 enough of an improvement in those areas to warrant the up grade from the D810. Or is the Sony a better option for astro. Would appreciate anyone's input. Thanks
great review! was there any reason why you didn't mention the Sony A9?
Thanks! The Sony A9 was a bit awkward for me. I reviewed it and loved it but it felt hampered by the lens lineup, body style, and in a way felt ahead of its time with 20fps shooting but only with electronic shutter and a really slow 5fps in mechanical. I think the A7RIII competes with the D850 a bit more.
I have a D850 one major problem is the connection to plug in a timer is a pain in the arse to connect, much worse in the cold.
Nikon 7200 setting bataye bhaiya kaise hoga setting cemra ka
The best camera in the world 😍 also ther is canon 5d mark 4
Dan D850 vs sony A99ii? Ignoring auto lock on program mode for video. It's worth learning to pull focus manually anyway for anyone wanting to use red epics etc.
Probably the D850. I'm still unsure what the future will be for the A99 series. Honestly, I don't see any reason for Sony to continue translucent mirror tech at this point so it's tough to recommend anyone invest in that camera and lens lineup when the future looks to be E mount. I would either buy the D850 or A7RIII
Can you do a review just on the Sony A7R 3 please.
Done: th-cam.com/video/0DBD9eDM71c/w-d-xo.html
I use an 850 and you couldn't pry it out of my hands. I am a stills guy so the video concerns dont bother me. If I want to do video I will just use my R6. Thanks, great video.
The 850 is STILL the pinnacle of sensor quality. Other than video and a few autofocus tracking features, the D850 is still the best it gets
I couldn't agree more, I am very pleased with it. On a tripod you are getting medium format quality.
What lens is this you have on this camera?
Can someone explain to me PLEASEEE: 8 bit video only on an external recorder ?????
If yes, what is the quality out of the XQD card?
Yes, 8 bit both to an external recorder and XQD card. No 10 bit option at all. I believe the external does offer 422 instead of 420 internal
Dan Watson thank you!
So is the sony A7riii better in terms of bitrate ?
Is this best for both video and photography?? Could you please suggest me the best camera for both videography and still photography?
I prefer it more for photos exclusively. The best Hybrid camera for both photo and video right now is the Canon R5 if you can afford it: bhpho.to/3hYGiRQ
I do have some videos on that as well
does it have a macro setting?
Its probably the best DSLR ever made except for live view focusing. And i wish the screen fully articulated. And i wish it was half the weight. Maybe the new Nikon FF Mirrorless will be a mirrorless D850 that has great video focusing. And a fully articulating screen.Then maybe i will cry that i just bought the A7r lll haha.
what was the lens used for the photo at 1:16?
Which camera and lens you have used to shoot this video.
Sony A7RIII & Sony 85mm F1.8: th-cam.com/video/0DBD9eDM71c/w-d-xo.html
What is the best Cam 4 both daylight and dim light ... ? can any1 help me with the model num ,... I love Nikon ... but Nikon D....???? number plz
Any reason you did not let us hear the shutter sound? I think it should be part of a full review.
Because it's really tough to get an idea of how loud it is via youtube where you are depending on my mic volume and your speakers. It's pretty loud though and there is a fair amount of shutter slap
my honest opinion , nikon fx dslrs with grips are chunky and comfy to wrap your hands around , i tried sony and a few others , but not having squirrely hands struggled not trying to un knot my fingers ,, the d850 is awesome for chunkier hands , with a higher viewfinder your not trying to shove the camera into your face so much as putting your face to the camera , as it should be ,
I plan to buy one of two camera: sony A7r III or Nikon D850. What advice would you give me, which one should I buy? I'm just a tourist who shoots everything or makes a litter movie.
Probably the A7RIII then. It's lighter, live view can be great, and it is definitely the better for shooting movies
thanks a lot
Why oh why did Nikon remove the 10 bit out of the HDMI?? The D800's worked great with an Atomos. Shooting 10 bit is the only feature I can't compensate for.
Steve Holt D800 shoot 10 bit???? Did not know that
Moe Alyasini Yep. It can't record it but all the Nikons from the D7000 to the D810 had 10 bit out of the HDMI. That's what made the D800s usable for films. The D850 really could have used that to stay a step above Sony.
Steve Holt Agreed.. but is it true that Even the 8 but is only with external Recorder ?
Moe Alyasini only 8 bit. You need an external recorder to get the 10 bit. I waited a long time for full frame 4k and then this happens and it's now the same as a Sony. ☹️
Steve Holt i hope it’s at least 8 bit without the External rec ! Cuz i heard that the 8 but is only with external and no 10 but at all ! I am Confused
I want
I'd love to buy a D850 but I don't have the cash, Maybe someday but not today :(
I am Buying 2nd hand d850 can any one give me idea how can know its god or not??
You make this video with d850 also
Truly an amazing camera. I've tried to like Nikon over the years, but the horrible live view has always made me stick with either Canon or (now) Sony. I also get annoyed by the location of the focus-mode switch and the direction you have turn the lens to take it off.
I’m going to wait for another year and price drop
Another 10 years
Hello Sir.. I m beginner in the field of photography.. Need your suggestions to buy dslr.. Nikon 5300d or Canon 200d. What would you prefer?
Hey, if you want to use the back screen to shoot instead of putting your eye to the viewfinder and want to shoot video, get the 200D or better yet, the T7i. Otherwise get the Nikon D5300
Are you having focusing issues with the D850? Reports are saying Nikon has yet more quality control issues with sensor to mount alignment issues. I am Recall perhaps?
