Verdict

The Nikon D850 is a professional-grade full-frame DSLR featuring a 45.7MP backside-illuminated (BSI) CMOS sensor and the EXPEED 5 image processor. It offers a powerful 153-point autofocus system inherited from the flagship D5, native ISO sensitivity from 64 to 25,600, and 7 fps continuous shooting (expandable to 9 fps with an optional battery grip). Key strengths include its exceptional image resolution and dynamic range, rugged weather-sealed magnesium alloy construction, and 4K UHD video recording at 30p using the full sensor width. However, it lacks a built-in flash, is notably heavy at approximately 915g (body only), and suffers from relatively slow contrast-detect autofocus when using Live View for video or stills.
