The D7100 was not good for action and I knew that from the outset. Autofocus is a bit slow and the getting the shutter speed up meant pushing the ISO to rather noisy levels. The D850 is very good about handling noise at the higher ISO. Someone told me it is because the size of the pixels is so small it's hardly a problem. With that knowledge, I set the High ISO Noise Reduction to normal, and Auto ISO limit to 1200. Noise is effectily gone. Noe there is couple of things I have to mention. 46.7megapixels can be very unforgiving if your shooting technique is even a bit sloppy. Unless you are shooting above 1/500 of a second, it will show in the very fine de
this is a great camera
I am an amateur who owns the Nikon D850 and D810 and several top Nikon 1.4/1.8 FX primes and zoom FX VR lens, and until several months ago, owned the Sony A7RII. While my D810 still takes exception photos (and I usually keep a fifty nifty on it to capture shots indoors with its popup flash for on the go shooting), my D850 (other than the missing flash from the top) just works even better in terms of autofocus and capturing my 5 year child with indoor low light or action moments. JPG colors look even better than the D810 when viewing in Lightroom. I got rid of the Sony A7RII because I kept getting blackout issues when the buffer had to clear several continuous shots. While I hear the Sony A7RIII's buffer has improved (over the Sony A7RII), there is still a lag time in clearing photos. This is a nonexistent issue with my D850 in trying to capture my fast moving 5 year old in different environments. While I loved the Sony A7RII with its lower weight (depending on whether you are using a light prime versus a heavier Sony GM zoom lens), electronic viewfinder, decent colors (ok, maybe not as good as Fuji) and silent shutter, I just prefer the grip and non-existent blackout issues of the Nikon D850's decent buffer (I am sure even this camera will lag if pushed to some absurd limit yet blackout with the Sony A7RII was common under normal family-child shooting conditions).
For those who want to buy into the mirrorless system, you cannot go wrong with a Sony A7 series if you except its limitations and will assume the same with be the case with Nikon's upcoming mirrorless system. My nonprofessional guess is that the chips / processing technology should improve over the next 5 years to get rid of the blackout issue for midlevel cameras (such as technology in the recent non-midlevel, pro level Sony A9), yet for now, I prefer my trustworthy non-blackout, gorgeous black D850 beast.
What can I say - that this beast of a photo machine can not do!! Have had about every major brand over the last 10 years (Canon 60D, 1Ds, 5D, Fuji X-Pro 1, Pentax K-1 - and several micro 4/3rds - this is THE BEST - BAR NONE!
I do freelance sports photography for the local newspaper, and I was using a Nikon D750, and it worked pretty well. It worked well in low light, it shot 6.5 fps and it is a 24 megapixel camera. But, I knew that I could do better. For sports I needed a lot of fps and the shots focus had to be crisp. I use the Nikon 300mm f/2.8 super prime most of the time for outdoor events.I'll tell you, at 9 fps (I have a grip on it with the bigger battery) and 46 megapixels, my shots have gotten so much better. I shoot softball and baseball through cyclone fencing, and you can't even tell. I think that I don't have to push the ISO up as far on those evening soccer games. I have done a little bit of portrait work and some landscape shots with this camera and it can put your talents to the test.
I am an advanced amateur photographer. I have shot for many years with my D810 and was skeptical that this would be that much of an upgrade. However, I an quite impressed with this camera body. It's pricey to be sure (as was the D810, which I still love and carry as a backup body), but if you are considering upgrading your camera body, I recommend giving this some serious consideration.
Delivered to me in time and in perfect condition. I 'm glad that everything was in the box.
The best Nikon body ever built. Bar none! About time Nikon showed the ‘rest of the middling players’ like Cannon, Sony and Fuji; how to build a DSLR. Love the 4K video! Is it better than any other mirrored DSLR made? Yes. Is it perfect? No. It is losing a star over the following: Upper left control knob. Some ignorant Manager at Nikon allowed “QUALITY” to occupy a position on the most expensive real-estate on the entire camera. Another poor decision maker at Nikon mixed the memory slots. Really Nikon??? XQD and SD mixed together? Incomprehensible! Finally – the shutter release is horribly “mushy” with little tactile feel. Nikon should partner with a Trigger/Rifle manufacturer to see what a good trigger feels like. Then incorporate that ‘feel’ into the Shutter release. I get several “multi fires” because the mushy feel allows a bounce photo to be taken. But those are just my personal peeves with it. Otherwise, I highly recommend it.
I love the D850, the battery drains a little faster than I hoped for.
