Overview — Nikon D850

The Nikon D850 is a full-frame DSLR built around a 45.7MP sensor processed by the EXPEED 5 image processor, delivering a maximum image resolution of 8256x5504 pixels. The camera offers an ISO range of 64 to 25600, giving photographers meaningful flexibility across a wide range of lighting conditions. For autofocus, the D850 uses a 153-point system that combines Phase Detection, Contrast Detection, and a Hybrid mode, with Eye Detection AF and Face Detection AF also on board — a capable suite for both static and moving subjects.

Burst shooting tops out at 7 fps, suitable for many action and sports scenarios. On the video side, the camera records up to 4K at 30fps, with additional frame rate options of 24fps and 25fps, and outputs in 8-bit with Flat and Standard color profiles available. The 3.2-inch tilting touchscreen resolves at 2.36M dots, and the viewfinder is optical.

Storage is handled via dual SDXC and XQD card slots. Connectivity includes Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, USB, Mini HDMI output, and both 3.5mm headphone and microphone jacks. The magnesium alloy body is weather sealed, measures 146 x 124 x 78.5 mm, and weighs 1005g.

Battery is the EN-EL15a rated for 1840 shots per charge.
