Expert opinion

My professional experience with the Nikon D850 FX Format Full Frame Digital SLR DSLR WiFi 4K Camera has been nothing short of magnificent. As a professional photographer, I have used a variety of cameras, each offering its own unique features and capabilities. The Nikon D850 stands out among the competition with its impressive 45.7MP back side illuminated BSI FX format full frame CMOS image sensor with no Optical Low Pass Filter, EXPEED 5 image processing for flawless detail retention and beautiful noise free images from ISO 64 to ISO 25,600, and up to 9 fps continuous shooting at full resolution with full AF performance.

The camera also offers 4K Ultra HD cinematic video recording in stunning full frame glory, as well as 16:9 4K UHD 3840x2160 4K and 8K Time Lapse. It boasts a tilting touchscreen, Touch AF, Touch Shutter control, Focus Shift shooting mode, outstanding battery performance and Built in WiFi and Bluetooth Wireless Connectivity.

In terms of ergonomics and design, the Nikon D850 is incredibly simple to use. It is straightforward yet powerful in its functionality something that is extremely rare in today s digital cameras. The menus are intuitively laid out and easily navigable for any level user I had no issue getting to grips with it quickly. Additionally, it is lightweight yet sturdy it was comfortable to handle during lengthy shoots without feeling too heavy or too cumbersome.

The camera also includes useful accessories such as an EN EL15a Rechargeable Li ion Battery MH 25A Battery Charger UC E22 USB Cable HDMI/USB Cable Clip AN DC18 Strap BF 1B Body Cap DK 17F Fluorine Coated Finder Eyepiece Limited Nikon USA Warranty, as well as a battery grip for D850 Deco Gear Photography Bag Travel Case 12 Tripod LCD Screen Protectors Memory Card Reader Memory Card Storage Case Cap Keeper Deco Photo Photography Accessory Kit with Carry Case, Lens Camera Sensor Brush, Dust Blower, Lens Tissue Paper, Microfiber Cloth Software Suite: Aurora HDR Advanced Photo Editor, OfficeSuite Photo Noir Video Suite Slideshow Maker Photo Editor 5 Photo Focus piZap Pro Ribbet Premium Photo DeNoise.

Overall I cannot recommend this camera highly enough it is an absolute powerhouse of a camera that will not let you down when you need it the most. It offers incredible image quality in both stills and video formats combined with intuitive ease of use that would make it suitable for any level photographer or videographer looking for a reliable camera for their next project. If you re looking for a top of the line camera that won t break the bank then look no further than the Nikon D850!
