Key Advantages

The Nikon D850 offers outstanding image resolution with its 45.7MP sensor, making it ideal for commercial and studio photography. Its advanced autofocus system ensures quick and accurate focus performance, even in challenging conditions. The 7 fps continuous shooting speed is impressive for a camera with such high megapixel capability. Video capabilities are professional-grade, supporting 4K UHD and slow-motion capture. Dual XQD and SD card slots provide efficient storage management and backup options. The camera's durable and ergonomic design makes it well-suited for extensive field work and adverse weather situations.

Limitations

Despite its high resolution, the Nikon D850's file sizes can be quite large, demanding substantial storage and processing power. The camera's weight and size may be cumbersome for casual users or travel photography. Its video autofocus during continuous video recording is not as advanced as some mirrorless competitors, requiring manual focus in some cases. Battery life, while good for a DSLR, may require carrying extra batteries for extended sessions. The absence of built-in flash does limit quick fill light options. Lastly, the price point is relatively high, potentially restricting access for amateur photographers.
