Key Advantages

The Nikon D850 boasts an impressive 45.7MP sensor delivering ultra-high resolution images with excellent detail rendition. Its advanced autofocus system comprises 153 focus points, maximizing precision and speed. The camera offers 7 frames per second continuous shooting, further extendable to 9 fps with an optional battery grip. Its excellent high ISO performance ensures clean images even in low light conditions. The tilting touchscreen LCD enhances shooting flexibility and user interaction. The presence of dual card slots provides reliable data backup and increased storage capacity during shoots.

Moreover, the D850 supports 4K video recording without crop, appealing to videographers needing versatility. Its durable, weather-sealed body makes it reliable in harsh shooting environments. Comprehensive connectivity options including Wi-Fi and USB 3.0 facilitate efficient workflow management.

Limitations

Despite its many strengths, the Nikon D850 is relatively heavy and bulky compared to mirrorless cameras, which may affect portability. The high megapixel count results in larger file sizes, requiring substantial storage and more powerful computing resources for post-processing. Battery life, while good, can be limiting for extended outdoor use without spares. The camera's autofocus system may exhibit slight challenges with very fast-moving subjects in video mode. The absence of in-body image stabilization means relying on stabilized lenses or tripods for optimal handheld performance. Additionally, the camera's price point is high, making it less accessible for entry-level users or casual photographers.

The D850 does not have a fully articulating screen, which could limit some creative shooting angles or vlogging use.
