At the time of making this video Nikon were still manufacturing the D850. I know the inevitable will come eventually. I wonder if 2024 will be the year Nikon finally stop manufacturing the D850? 🤷‍♂📸

After watching some of your videos I went into my local camera shop here in Ireland just before Christmas with the possibility of buying a Z8 .The curiosity of the D850 was burning in my head . I had the intention of trading in my D800 and Nikon 50 1.4g. There was a used D850 in pristine condition on the shelf ,it had only 1860 shutter count ,It was 1899 euros .My choice was to sell all my 12 Nikon lenses ...the Trinity and the Primes with the D800 and go for the Z8 the 24-70 and the 14-24 .To make a long story longer i ended up walking out with the D850....after paying , followed later in the month with the purchase of a Sigma 50 Art prime, nikon 16-35 and the Nikon 20mm 1.8g. I thought ... Mirrorless can wait awhile . Enjoyed the video Adrian cheers !!

End of 2023 I picked up a D850, mint, less than 50,000 clicks. Included Nikon battery grip and extra Nikon battery, 128GB XQD and SD cards, plus the usual items, in original boxes. Winning bid was $1525 US, off eBay. $1650 with shipping and my state tax. Loving it. I have quite a lot of Nikon DSLR bodies and lenses, but this may be the last one I purchase, being an old fart.

Had and still have a D800, I bought a used D850 (2000 clicks) with Nikon MD-D18 for approx 2400 AUD. I love the ergonomics and features and not being into video, I do not care about the "shortcomings" in that area. Today, you can pickup so many high quality F-Mount lenses for very less money , not being a Pro, i'll stick with the mirror and ❤it.

Great video ~ I agree with every single word! I’m a professional who still uses the D850 as my daily workhorse. There is a reason Nikon is still charging a premium price ($2500 U.S.) for this body: It still produces premium quality images and it’s a joy to use!

Despite owning several Z cameras, I still shoot my D850 and D700 during our harsh Canadian winters because it is easier to use with cold weather photo gloves and it has excellent battery life when colder than -15C. Both DSLRs still produce great images with the quality F glass that I own. I travel with lighter Z cameras and optics, but at home, especially in winter, DSLRs still have a place!

I trust my old Nikon D700 and I tried the Z6 but quickly return it! The EVF never impressed me compared to the simple pure OVF experience. Instead I went back to F-mount DSLR and settled with the infamous Df and I love every moment of it. DSLRs forever!

You’re killing me. I just checked the used prices of this camera this morning. I keep waiting for it to become affordable.

Great tribute to the D850, Adrian, and very well said. I got mine in late 2017, shortly after it was released and like you, not once has it ever failed me. I finally got into the mirrorless world just two months ago with the addition of a Z8 but the D850 will likely remain with me forever.

I do extensive nightscape and timelapse on the D850 from freezing cold to boiling hot days in the So Cal Deserts. I also shoot a lot on Maui in humidity. This is THEE camera for that work. The silent mode for shooting time lapse is the WAY TO GO as it is quiet! But the camera is tough, I have dropped them, they are reliable and I don't think I'll ever go mirrorless, just no need. GREAT VIDEO Adrien! I love your work.

I wanted 45MP camera and couldn't justify the cost of the mirrorless range and bought a D850 with 2000 shutter count for $2500 it's like new happy to say I am over the moon, been watching your video's on the D850 thank you very much, learning heaps, I sold a Z6 for this camera. Cheers Steve.

Hi Adrian, I purchased my D850 Last year. At B&H Photo Video. They had a promotion for $2,199.00. it is everything you say it is!! I have a D500 i got 4yrs ago I absolutely love. I have a part time Photography business and it's done great I do Weddings, Portraits and other Photos. So getting the D850 was a necessity. It's the most incredible Nikon I have ever owed, I'v been using Nikons since 1978 when I got the bug in High School. Plus it's menus and control layout is the same as the D500. The 850 is now my main camera and the D500 is my back up. I love the tank like build, Resolution and the weight helps balance long lenses. Plus digitizing Slides and Negatives with the D850 Is fantastic. I have played with the Z9 and Z8 at the store. they don't Feel as solid as my 850 and the Ergonomics don't feel right plus I hate EVF. I recommend any buddy looking to get D850 check B&H Photo Video what for promotion. I buy all me camera gear there.

By end of last year i bought my 2nd D850. Using this camera is amazing feeling, best ergonomy, ridiculous AF (especially if i compared with Z6II in lowlight places). Maybe mirrorless cameras have better AF in sunny days, but when I use D850, I know thatI can trust my Boy, and his AF won't let me down. 5:24 In my country (Poland), You can buy D850 for ~ 2570 USD :)

I am an older photographer that has been shooting Nikon since the early 70's. Over the years I have accumulated a collecttion of F mount glass. I have no intentions of switching to mirrorless. After all, the D850 didn't quit making great photos because Nikon came out with new tech. I also shoot an F5 and a D810.

I purchased my gently used D850 in 2022, and even though it’s a heavy beast, I absolutely love it. Maybe one of these days I’ll go mirrorless, but for now I’m super happy with what I have.

This really needed to be said! I've been shooting wildlife with my d810 for years and haven't changed it yet, because the image quality is, to this day, indistiguishable from today's high-end stuff... And you can get one used for, like, 1000€. The autofocus never let me down and the optical viewfinder is a pleasure to look in. Gotta be honest tho, I wish I could shoot those 10 bit internal videos aswell, and if I was starting I would go mirrorless for that reason, but as of now, changing all my gear only for better video, as a photographer, doesn't really convince me

Here in Brazil the D850 had seen almost no drop in price into the Nikon mirrorless age until the Z8 came along. That is understandable, considering that only the Z8 may be considered as the true successor to the D850. After that, the price of a new D850 dropped about 15-20% as of now. That makes the Z8 currently about twice as expensive as a new D850 here in Brazil. An interesting thing happening here is that the D850 still doesn't show up much in the used market and, when it does, it costs almost the same as a new one. That didn't change after the Z8 arrived. (The Brazilian prices are usually about 50%-60% over the US retail prices due to import taxes, btw) Two things may be read from that: 1.) The D850 holds up in value extremely well, most certainly due to its reliability, toughness, superb image quality and lens selection; 2.) Not many Brazilian D850 owners are willing to depart from it, most certainly due to the aforementioned factors and how much more it costs to get a proper mirrorless replacement. So yeah, the D850 is a superb photographic investment, no wonder it still sells well. I doubt Nikon is blind to that - taking into account as well the brand's known attachment to its legacy and tradition, I don't see Nikon discontinuing the D850 anytime soon.

THIS IS my dream camera! I could not buy a F4 back in the day, but I hope I can buy this D850 just cause I can! lol!!! it would be super to do it this 2024!!!! Thanks for the video, I just enjoy them all! and I think you are the only one that still talks about DSLR (nikon ones) and I know the new tech is here but when you are happy with what you have and have a system, why should I go to the new tech??? I do not know since and "old" DSLR can still do the job! Cheers from Mexico!!!

Great video! I have had my D850 since 2018, and while I have started using the Z 6 system, I cannot bring myself to moving over completely (from F to Z) because of the joy I get from using the D850

So much nostalgia for this beast of a camera. From how long it took to get back when released to the magical images it took and trips it made with me, it has a special place in my kit.

Adrian, I just picked up a Mint d850 with the EN-EL18 grip and charger. Camera only had 23,439 shots taken for 1,250 US...

Right now you can pick up a new D850 for around $2600 Canadian which was still more than I wanted to spend on a full frame Nikon. They are still fairly pricey on the used market too. I found a boxed, like new D800 for $800 and am very happy with that decision.

It is still providing excellent image quality, paired with really good lenses. Maybe not that good in high iso ranges, like above 6400, but nothing to shame about. For photo only or mostly, it's still an excellent camera. Paired with top of the line Sigma Art lenses, it is delivering constantly. Will use my till it's able to work or till it won't be serviceable. I have dummy batteries, capable of running from power bank, if the EL-18c-s are not enough, like bellow -10 C for long period of time. Yes, it's heavy, but it doesn't quit. Operated it at 40 C as bellow -17 C. Reliable beast of machine.

I just purchased my Z9 last year and I love it. But I still carry my D850 and D4s.

Hi,i am owner this camera 4-5 years and agree with You. It is amazing engine. I am very satisfied.

I own both the D850 and the Z9. I carry both of with different lenses mounted. Love both of them! I agree with you I am keeping my D850. I will be selling my D500 after years of impressive use.

On the topic of pro-body Nikon DSLRS. We cant forget the Mighty Nikon D3, it was Nikon's 1st full frame camera and was released in 2007. Iv'e had this Body since last year and it hasn't let me down even once. Iv'e had Nikon bodies throughout my life (D3, D300, D300s, D90) and this one takes the top spot in terms of performance, image quality and ergonomics. It is soo good in the hand and having lens options dating back to the late 70s when the F-Mount was standerdised gave the Nikon DSLRS an upper hand in terms of lens options, the sky was the limit, as some might say, following behind it is the Nikon d300s, which i also dearly loved but died at 1.2m clicks. This just goes to show the longevity and reliability of Nikon DSLRS. Great video Adrian, keep them coming!

Hi mate, awesome video, all very true! For Nikon still to make the D850 says it all… I’ve had mine since 2020, and like you I will never sell it! Over all my Nikon shooting years l have acquired fantastic glass to suit! I don’t do video, so the Z system is not on my wish list yet! Thanks Stoney…

I have a D810 which I purchased in 2014 and should say it’s a workhorse - it’s my companion and has provided me with excellent pictures… great tribute to the D850 - it’s a beast

Adrian, thanks for a solid review. I hope to buy a D850 in a few weeks with some overtime pay. I’ll be upgrading from a D7000 that I’ve had for 12 years.

Great review of the Nikon D850 and why change when you're happy with your camera. Good to know they are still making them. Have a great weekend Adrian.

I’m still using mainly my D5. Excellent images and built like a tank!I’ve been considering a D850 given all my AF-S lenses.

Great video Adrian! Despite the things that mirrorless cameras might do better, I know how much you like your d850! I think you're right, I think you'll be shooting with that camera until it just stops working someday. Hopefully many years from now! Hope you are doing well pal, Have a great rest of the weekend!

Adrian , The D850 used runs from $1300 to $2000 usd depending on condition. I'm in Indiana USA. Really enjoy your videos

Been shooting with a d3100 for 11 years. I needed an upgrade,I needed to take my photography a step further. Bought it today with a 24/120mm lens. No regrets buying this beast. I got them for £2200 uk (brand new) I guess I’m lucky.

I live in the UK and have had my Nikon D850 since 2022. It is such an amazing camera that I am considering buying another as a spare.

Ive seen them for $2609 (body only) in Canada, Ive had mine for 2 years, still going strong with original battery, I absolutly love it!!

There is just something about the shots out of the D850 that have an artistic quality to them. Of course the operator of the camera certainly has something to do with that too! Can't beat that price though for an amazing piece of gear.

I bought my D850 in 2018 when I had a chance to go to Auschwitz and new I had to take a great camera. I was not disappointed. A couple of weeks ago I was shooting in North Carolina and bumped into someone shooting a nice Z9. She said a lot of her friends still shoot D850s which made me feel good. I’m retired now and can’t afford to go dumping a lot into a new rig and accessories. All that said, I absolutely love my D850. I may find a used one to have a second body… thanks for the great video!

Love these videos. I bought mine little over one year ago and I'm truly happy that I choose it!

Hi Adrian, first off thank you for all your great videos, esp the settings for shooting birds in flight. It's been a great help. I'm an interior design and construction photographer, but shoot landscape and birds for therapy. There's only so much neutral wallpaper and carpets you can shoot without going insane😉 I still shoot with my amazing D850 and have a D810 as back up. I'm not a stick in the mud and would be quite happy to move over to mirrorless if I thought it would improve the quality of my shots. I saw a comment mention the wonderful D700, which I still have. I don't use it anymore, but I get sentimentally attached to inanimate objects that have served me well and will never sell it - not that it's worth much nowadays LOL! I'm in the UK and there's a reputable company who sells grey market D850s for £1599. I'm seriously considering purchasing another one for that price.

I was gifted one of these by a guardian angel after my Sony a7iv was ruined by salt water. I’m getting so excited to receive it. I haven’t shot Nikon in years but I think I’m gonna love this!

Great video mate. The D850 is still such a great versatile body & its image quality still holds up! 👍👍👍

I completely agree. I could trade in my D850 for the Z8 and had a buyer, but I decided to keep my D850. I use it for especially for landscapes, portraits and macro, images are outstanding. For birds in flight I'll use my Z6ii and probably replace it with the Z6iii, due focusing issues.

I own the D850 for many years and feel so lucky with it!

Great video Adrian, beautiful photos that underscore your claim about this camera. I'm still relatively new to it as I bought it on the secondary market for a very reasonable price joining my D750. The reason for it was the quality of the pictures and I was not willing to sell my collection of excellent lenses at bargain prices when moving to Z bodies. I'm glad that you reassure me in the potential of this camera which is still way above my level of photography but I think that the D850 comes close to perfect in terms of image quality and will be with me as long as live.

Nikon D850 - one of the greatest of all time and probably the peak of the dslr age. I say this as a Canon user. If it is the perfect tool for your kind of photography , just buy second body for a good price and lock it away and you are probably safe until you quit photography one day. And it will be way cheaper than investing in all new systems with bodies and lenses.

Really I think the D850 will still be very relevant ten years from now. I bought my D810 in 2015 and it is still my main camera and I probably won't update to full frame mirrorless until the Z7iii comes out. And if they put a fully articulating screen on that I may end up with a D850!

I bought this camera in 2022 and I love it. It replaced my D7500. It’s so reliable and feels great in the hands. I love the sound of that shutter too. The picture quality and exposure are always spot on. And yes, there’s plenty of lenses to choose from!

After selling the D850 a year ago I’ve missed it for long lenses, I’ll keep the SL2-s but just brought another new for £1650, along with some bargain lenses (24-70 2.8, 16-35 f4 and the sigma 150-600 c which I actually love compared with the Nikon 200-500 I used to have)

I m still using my Nikon D750, and still pretty happy. And i see the mirror as a bonus compared to mirrorless... but that´s just my 2 cents.

Watching from Dublin Ireland. I'm using my old D3, D90, and D5000 nikon's. Thanks for sharing this video that now i'm thinking of get rid these old nikon and get the D850 instead.

I miss how it felt in my hands. I love my A7IV and all don’t get me wrong but the D850 just fit so well in my hands.

I use my Nikon D850 now more than 3 years for my wildlife photography with D800 in Srilanka. I use it with Nikon 400mm f 2.8 and 70-200 f2.8 for birds and other wild animals such as elephants, sloth bears , leopards and other in the national parks . It is a amazing camera with fast and reliable had never failed to capture illusive bears and enigmatic leopards in the country . When l go generally l stay in the jungle for 3-4 days and come home with more than thousand photos. The best times are the migratory season for birds , and cloudy mornings and evenings has no worry of talking crisp clear pictures of leopards and sometimes with cubs. Large birds are my favorite and the endemics where lagoons are plentiful and water holes in these jungles. Fantastic peace of equipment and a simply remarkable camera and equally important lens like 400mm f2.8 to go with it for the work. 👌👍

Nice one, Adrian. I bought my D850 pre-owned, & the frame count was in the seventy thousands; nevertheless (as you assert) this camera has never let me down - it's just consistently good - so much so, I'm considering buying another. All my F mount lenses gel with this behemoth, & to be honest, I prefer a weightier camera; I too shall never sell mine either, together with my rather older D300s, FM, F3 & F4's, I'm set; for the moment, Mirrorless will have to remain on that horizon - personally, I see no particular advantage anyway. Love your images !!

Thanks Adrian as always a great video. The 850 is the best camera I've owned, I was going to go mirrorless but can't justify the extra $'s for a Z8 for another 45mp camera. My (very) old D610 has died so my next backup camera for my trips to Canada/Alaska this year and Iceland in '25 will be a...D850 The person holding the camera will get the same results.

I may even buy a second D850 as I have quite the amount of back up batteries and as well as other gear specifically for my D850.

Best camera ever, and I don't think it will be replace by any other DSLR. I don't like mirrorless cameras, I prefer to look through a real viewfinder than looking at a monitor. The MB-D18 battery grip make portrait shoot a lot easier. I only wish Nikon put a GPS tag in the D850 because sometimes I have a hard time remember where I took the pictures.

I can buy a useful 4K camera at almost any price point and make. The bargains in DSLR glass are astounding. Best Buy has brand new D850 body for $2199... probably placing order tonight. Option 2 is another mint Nikon 610 body, a 14-24, 24-70 for the same price.

Hi Adrian, a great video, buddy! I have to say, the quality of most of the cameras that got launched within the past 5-6 years is amazing. It is interesting how the journey will go on with cameras. I personally don't need more megapixels, I'm even satisfied with the dynamic range. Autofocus got already to a point that is just crazy and ISO noise is not a big issue anymore, that's even almost gone due to denoisers. The only thing the camera industry could do is putting more AI functions into their cameras over the next years. Definitely interesting what will happen here and what we will really need in future 😊 Great to hear that you are still satisfied with the D850. It's a great camera, for sure! Thank you for the video, enjoy your weekend, Christian

Adrian, some absolutely stunning images in this clip. Congratulations!! Cheers

D850 is going to stay relevant for a long time, it's a phenomenal camera

You're spot on. I still use my d850 all the time. For photos, it's still a powerhouse of a camera, and I would put it against anything. My only complaint is that I do a lot of video, and this camera has become very dated as far as videos go. Yes, it shoots in 4k, but so many other cameras at this price point now shoots in LOG format and has a much better auto focus. I've found myself doing just as much video from my smartphone as this camera because it shoots is LOG/ProRes and auto focuses much better.

Hello Adrian, you seem the one photographer that is still endorsing the Nikon D-850 and I agree completely with your assessments. I have this camera and I bought it new for $2500.00 US dollars when there was a discount of $500.00 offered. I could not be any happier, the images are superb, the battery life is exceptional and as you mentioned about the lenses available it makes a ton of sense. I also have the Nikon D-810 which does a good job and I have been tempted of selling it but I have not found a convincing reason so I keep it. I just purchased the Z5 and the 24-200 mm lens which I use it for a walk around only. All the Nikon cameras are an excellent tool if used well. Thanks for the video. Cheers from Oregon state US.

I still own the D850 and recently purchased z9 after robbing my bank account , I use Z9 primarily for fast action and the D850 for landscape, in UK it still retails just £2.200 pound sterling it shows it’s worth, no intention selling love it too much to depart from it, thank you for sharing your thoughts and recommendation.

In Belgium the price is €3249, now in stores. I bought one with 3000 clicks in 2023 for €2100, super satisfied with my 3rd Nikon.

I love seeing a hot shoe cover on your D850. I see so many photographers without them, I don't understand that.

Using Nikon Cameras starting with a F3, I got a D850 from the Nikon-Store online for under 2200€ (in 2023 - Germany) . I think that it was a Great offer and I‘m happy I bought it. By the way , I love your videos

You have certainly made some beautiful shots with your D850 over the years!

This week, I picked up a used D850 from my local camera store. The shutter actuation count was 3,971 and the store gives me a 90 day warranty along with 14 days to return for any reason. Cost was $1,299 US (April 2024). The new price for one sold in a different case in the store would be $2,499 US (standard sale price at this store). I have been shooting with a Nikon D5200 for about 13 years now so this is quite the step up:) I had thought about going with a secondhand Z7ii which would have been about $300 more but then I would need to get new lenses or get a mount (seems to defeat the purpose of a mirrorless). Meanwhile, the used case at my camera store always has a lovely selection of Nikon lenses at great prices (all with money back guarantee and warranty).

I’ve had a D850 for about 2 years to augment a D500. I do a lot of motorsports, though just returned from Hawaii. I still have many images to sort. Can’t really go wrong with Nikon.

I’ve just purchased a pristine D850, £1500 uk-pounds!.. 3000-Actuations, wanted the Z8 but couldn’t justify the cost!..the D850 was an absolute steal!!..

Tempted to get one. With huge sale going on right now and talks of it being discontinued, need to pick one before it is gone.

Just bought my D850 July 15, 2024 , brand new in the box for $2,200 United States

Great video, i love my d850 and was starting to look at mirrorless but after watching i am going to keep shooting with the d850 i can vouch for the battery life i am an (very) amateur motorsport photographer and still get 1200+ images out of my original pack that is about 5 years old which is now including a little bit of video

In Texas as of April 2024, I've seen the D850 body run between $1500 and $2100 USD. I watched your comparison video between the D750 and D850. D750s here are going for about $600 to $700 USD. I currently use a Nikon D7000, which has been a great camera but I'm shooting more video interviews now, and limited to 24 fps at 1920 x 1080. While the price of a D750 is attractive, I feel the camera as used for video would be more of a lateral move, as I still wouldn't be able to shoot in 4K. I've written off going mirrorless with video because of battery consumption, not to mention the form factor. The last thing I want to do is stop an interview to change a battery. I guess for now I may be better off saving for a jump to the D780 as I am learning that camera has the better video focus of all the Nikon DSLRs. Anyhow, I love your videos Adrian, and your landscape and wildlife photography is breathtaking. Thanks for reading and any thoughts on my post.

My first Nikon camera was the FTN and I have used most of their cameras from film to digital, I purchased a D850 about a year ago and love it. I still use it and also a D700, D300s and a D3S. I have to say I get great shots with all of them! I'm sure I would enjoy newer cameras, But I don't see them making me a better Photographer

A new D850 is now £2399 in the UK and I paid £1950 for mine last year with only 20 shutter actuations. A stunning camera that I will never sell.

It's just god-like. Amazingly easy to use for having a 1000 page collection of users manuals.

The 850 is here to remind us that the SLR is ultimately what we’re gonna come home to. Sure - the z8 is great for video and for its quiet shutter but at the end of the day a true SLR is the better camera for so many photographers

I often wonder if Nikon delayed going mirrorless because the D850 was so good and sold so well

I totally agree. I bought a D850 in Australia over BF/Xmas and even paid about 10% less than the price you showed. Ie considerably cheaper than US prices, and NOT a gray import. Okay, I would love a Z8, but with the number of F-mount lenses I already own, that is just not economical. In fact, last year dueing BF I bought a D780 for around AUD$2,000. So both bodies together is still considerably cheaper than the Z8. The elephant in the room is that I cannot afford to totally replace my set of lenses, so I will stick with Nikon DSLR. For video, I can always use my MFT mirrorless.

I agree with you 100% There are only 2 things about the D850 I don’t like. 1) It’s HEAVY. I know it needs to be but I wish it was lighted. 2) I wish the shutter speed went slower than 30 sec. I do a lot of long exposure, and I don’t really like using a cable release. But other than that, I love it. I’ve thought about getting a Z7II, but I can’t justify spending the money. The D850 is a beast !!

Biggest reason for me, besides it's an amazing camera, is the 40+ F lenses I have, going back to 1971. (yes, I know there's an FTZ adaptor) Secondary reason is I'm not shooting sports professionally, and I'm not sitting in a blind day after day to shoot wildlife for NatGeo. So the small advantages of the Z series are un-needed. And I'm in my late 60's, so I'm not starting all over again.

i still use my d850 + Battery speed pack. i bougt the Z8 and it maks your life in so many situations easier. But in quality the d850 is still a beast.

I bought one 2nd hand for €2000, including the camera grip it's charger and 2 batteries for it, complete with all other accessories.

Selling new for around £2399 in UK. Used about £1300. Great camera.

I was looking for a newer camera and became excited about going ML and the Canon R5. I traded much of my Nikon lenses and a few bodies to purchase the R5. Nice camera the R5 is. I started shooting Nikons back in the 70's with a F2AS. Been shooting Nikons ever since. When I made a decision to try ML, Nikon in my humble opinion was way behind the 8 ball. I was really thinking of picking up the D850 and forgoing ML. That is what I should have done. I have the R5 and some nice and too expensive RF lenses. However I have bought back many of the Nikon F mount lenses and shoot more and more with my D700, D4s and the D810. I am still lusting over the 850 as my Nikon bodies are starting to show their age but keep on ticking. I would loose my shirt selling the Canon system. I acquired more very good and mostly used F mounts lenses. I am only a serious hobbyist now days and living in Wyoming with the harsh environment and wonderful landscapes and wildlife I use my Nikons more and more. Thanks for uploading your interesting video.

Hi Adrian, the D850 is selling in the UK at £2545 in Grays of Westiminster and £2399 in WEX. I bought mine when it was first released and it's still going strong, although now as a back-up to my Z9.

This is going to be my next big purchase, it currently is for sale in the UK for £2799.00. It was for sale at £2399.00 pre and post Christmas 202323 and I didn't have enough money saved at the time, it was such a good saving. I am hoping it goes on sale again later this year, fingers crossed

Well said mate. Currently in the UK the price to change from D850-D8 is ~£3k! Now, I've no doubt the D8 is a great camera, but £3k more? No way. I can easily et a lightly used D9 for the price of a D8, with is what I'll probably do. Then I'll keep the D850 until its unsupported, broken or we've all moved to DJIs!

Shooting with Optical View Finder is a Joy and Passion, much more than the EVF or rear LCD screen. Handling and Ergonomics of DSLR is much better than mirrorless, Build quality and reliability is no different advantage . Thank you , nice Video

The D850 was a crowning achievement of the DSLR era and it will take them a while to actually top it. Good points here that people new to the brand should heed. People get it in their head that they need the newest tech when this camera will give them wonderful images. 👍📸

I picked a used one up as an upgrade from my d5600 in late October 2023 and love it to bits. I will admit, however, that the main selling point for me was having wanted it since it came out in 2018 and saving up for it since 😂

I don't yet own a Z body or lenses and I don't have the budget for them currently. I still enjoy using my ancient D600, D700 and D800 and some very nice lenses. My next Nikkor lens purchase will either be the 200-500 or 500 f/5.6.

i am from karachi , pakistan and using D850 since last 2 years and still i love it

As a Canon shooter, I respect the Nikon brand. Had I not went with Canon, I would have picked Nikon. My first camera was a 35mm Nikon.

Adrian, I shoot with a D850, and it's going nowhere. I have some decent f mount glass. And couldn't be happier. If there was a wish list the only thing I would change is having ibis. That would do it for me. I also shoot with a Z6. Nice but it is not my 850. Thanks again great video.

LOVE mine.. Here in NYC B&H has it for $2,796.95!

The D850 in NJ, USA is $2797.00. I still shoot with the D850. Have not make the transition to the mirrorless system. At this time, I will keep using the D850 for years to come.
