Nikon D850: Hands-on Panel Discussion

Get a first look at the new Nikon D850 with a previously recorded, hands-on product tour and field reports from Nikon Ambassadors Dixie Dixon, Joe McNally, Corey Rich and Lucas Gilman.

Higher resolution. Faster speed. Greater versatility.

The D850 puts staggering image quality and impressive
performance within reach of working photographers everywhere.

45.7 Megapixel Back-side
Illuminated CMOS Sensor

At the heart of the D850 is a back-side illuminated (BSI) FX-format full-frame CMOS image sensor with 45.7 megapixels and no optical low-pass filter. A marvel of ingenuity, it achieves extraordinary image quality, enhanced light gathering efficiency, faster data readout and truer color with virtually no risk of moiré

Nikon D850 Features and Technical Specs (17)

Expeed 5 Image
Processing

Expeed 5 quickly processes all 45.7 megapixels of data for lower noise, wider dynamic range, subtle tonal and textural details, high-speed continuous shooting at approx. 9 fps1 and full-frame 4K UHD movie recording.

Nikon D850 Features and Technical Specs (18)

Dynamic Range
Down to ISO 64

The lower the ISO, the greater the dynamic range. Like the D810 before it, the D850 has the lowest base ISO of any DSLR or mirrorless camera2—ISO 64 (expandable down to ISO 32).

Nikkor Lenses: The Gold Standard

Nikon has been setting the standard for full-frame lenses for over 80 years. Gold Ring Series Nikkor optics are among the finest lenses available, drawing peak performance from high-resolution image sensors like the one found in the D850.

Precision at Every Turn

Fast continuous shooting, flagship autofocus and precise metering.

Speed to Match Your Vision

With a continuous shooting speed of 7 fps or 9 fps using the optional MB-D18 battery pack with EN-EL 18b/a Lithium-ion Battery,
the D850 can capture those perfect moments in action from a bride walking down the aisle to gravity-defying sports shots
at it’s full 45.7 MP resolution.

153 Point AF System

With 153 focus points, 99 cross-type sensors and a dedicated
AF processor, the D850 combines the best of flagship AF technology
so that you can be assured that your high resolution images are
as sharp as can be.

Autofocus Down to -4 EV

Focus in near darkness down to -4 EV to capture moody
low-light scenes. Suddenly, fast Nikkor primes and zooms can handle even lower light than before.

  • Nikon D850 Features and Technical Specs (28)
  • Tilt and Touch

    The tilting touchscreen LCD makes it easy to get the shot, even from high or low angles. Use Touch AF, Touch Shutter control and navigate menus, playback and more as if you were using a touch-enabled smart device. Zoom in during Live View shooting and use the new Pinpoint AF to put focus right where you want it.

  • Focus Stacking Made Easy

    Create images with extraordinary depth of field using Focus Shift Mode. Set focal steps from 1 to 10 for up to 300 automated shots and D850 will automatically shift focus between shots and collect the images in a dedicated folder for easy identification when using 3rd party focus stacking software5.

  • Do Not Disturb

    When silence is golden—shooting golf, press conferences, weddings and more—turn on Silent Photography in Live View and capture without sound or mechanical vibration. In Mode 1, shoot for up to 6 fps continuous at 45.7 MP. In Mode 2, shoot approx. 8.6-megapixel pictures in DX image area at approx. 30 fps for up to 3 seconds.

Capability-Expanding Accessories

  • Phenomenal Battery Performance

    All day shooting shouldn’t require frequent battery changes. The D850 is extremely energy efficient and can shoot approx. 1,840 shots8 at full resolution or approx. 70 minutes of video on a single charge. Even when powering external monitors and working in extreme conditions, the D850 performs brilliantly.

  • Built Rugged

    The D850 is built for extreme durability using rugged magnesium alloy and carbon fiber materials. The sturdy camera body protects the sophisticated technologies inside against accidental shock.
