Key Advantages

The Nikon D850 provides exceptional image resolution with its 45.7MP full-frame sensor which outperforms many competitors. Its advanced 153-point autofocus system ensures precise and speedy focus, even in low light or dynamic scenes. The camera supports high-speed continuous shooting at 7 fps, suitable for action photography. Its robust build quality offers weather resistance, making it reliable for outdoor and professional use. The inclusion of 4K video capabilities expands creative options beyond still photography. Dual card slots enhance workflow efficiency by providing ample and versatile storage options.

Limitations

Despite its impressive features, the Nikon D850 has a relatively large and heavy body, which can impact portability on extended shoots. The camera's high resolution also results in large file sizes that require significant storage and processing capabilities. 4K video recording is limited to 30 fps and lacks advanced video features found in some mirrorless cameras. Battery life, while good, may require carrying spares for intensive use. The absence of in-body image stabilization may be a drawback for handheld video and low-light photography. Finally, the high cost of the D850 places it in a premium segment, limiting accessibility for amateur photographers.
