The Nikon D850 is the first DSLR that truly fits both speed and resolution in the same camera.
45.7-megapixel full-frame sensor renders excellent detail ; Speedy 153-point autofocus system ; 7 fps burst mode; 9 fps with battery grip ; Sturdy, weather-sealed design ; 4K video and 1080p slow-motion
Live-view autofocus is slower ; Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connection isn’t always reliable ; Pricey

The D850 is easily Nikon's most versatile DSLR to date. Offering a new 45MP sensor, faster processor and an improved weather-sealed body, the D850 is comfortable, highly customizable and able to photograph pretty much whatever you want to throw at it.
Class-leading resolution; Excellent dynamic range; Very good high ISO performance; Very fast AF and burst shooting; Durable weather-sealed body; Improved ergonomics; Touchscreen; Dual card slots; 4K video.
