    I did a lot of research prior to purchasing this camera. I wanted a USA warranty. I found many grey market cameras online that were cheaper but for a few more dollars for this purchase to me it was worth it. I have had the chance to take about 1000 shots with it, the quality of the photos at higher iso is great. Very fast. I have used Nikon in the past and absolutely love this camera. It is a little heavy and I could have gone with a mirror less for less weight but I already have a good collection of quality lens and didn’t want to start over with that. If you compare the weight difference it’s not that much between the mirror less and this camera. If you purchase I don’t think you will be disappointed. Best Buy has always been fast delivery, the packaging could have been a little better.

    Best of all worlds

    I've owned the camera since it came out and I must say that it is by far the best I've used. I owned the D810 and D500 before it and it flawlessly combines everything I LOVED about those cameras and adds up to something even greater. The focus system is incredible. The low light quality is 2nd to none. I've printed 8.5x11 pictures shot at iso 12800 and people didn't believe the iso they were shot at. The view finder is HUGE and even wearing glasses I can see EVERYTHING without a problem. I also LOVE that I can shoot in a crop mode and the view finder will actually black out everything not being used. Shooting 1x1 aspect ratio through the view finder is a different experience than cropping after the fact and it changes the way you compose. The color is flawless. The new auto daylight white balance is very handy. I've found ZERO about the camera I don't like.

    With my 70+ years in doing photography the Nikon 850d is probably the most advanced instrument I have used. The image quality with the 24-70 2.8 lens is sharp and contrasty An excellent combo.

    Excellent camera!! Paired with my D500 it’s a dynamic duo!! D500 for sports and the D850 for landscape and portrait. Couldn’t be happier!

    This camera is one of the best on the market - for those who like the tank like feel and steadiness one gets from the weight. An all time best !!

    A step above the D810 but below the Sony A7R3

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I have owned a number of Nikon cameras over the years, most recently two D810's and now this D850. Overall this is a very good camera but it is not an "omg" camera.... Going between this camera and my Sony A7R3 I keep missing the EVF, focus peaking, eye AF, and color science the Sony has over the Nikon, though the Nikon is a fine camera overall. For my needs the Sony is a better choice though I prefer the ergonomics of the gripped d850 better. I should add, however, that the $400+ grip is important to get the most from the D850, so factor that into your calculations, as well as the XQD cards which are expensive at the present time.

    Absolute best DSLR ever made. Nikon hit it out of the park with this one! Love it so much I’ve bought three and all from Best Buy. Everytime I was looking to add another BB delivered!

    While this camera takes wonderful images it is a vast sampling of plastics-technology. Plastic, plastic, and still more plastic.Then we buy the lenses and guess what? More plastic. Then I buy the battery grip and yes, more plastic.Starting to see a pattern here.A great consumer grade camera

    Outsanding Tech...Poor Build Quality

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I received my D850 (body only) during April 2018. It was a beautiful camera and the technical aspects were outstanding, however, the build felt cheap compared to my Nikon D500, D700, D4, Olympus OMD EM1 Mk II, and Sony A7R III. In fact, it felt like a toy compared to the "tank" like builds of the Sony A7R III and Olympus EM1 Mk II. Likewise, there is no comparison between the builds of the Nikon D700, D4 and D850. The D850 may have a titanium base, but the cover is made of cheap plastic and the doors and hinges won't last or take any forms of abuse. I thought the battery door would fall off after a few actuations. Long story short, I immediately returned the D850. I was very disappointed with the build quality of the D850.
