Nikon D850 review

Let us take a deeper look at the features and specifications of the Nikon D850.


Body and Design 

The body of the Nikon D850 is mainly made from magnesium alloy and looks like the D810 in some way. The newer model boasts a flip-up/down cradle for its rear screen, just like the D750. This makes the model way better in terms of resolution and also touch-sensitive. Unlike the D5 and D500, The touch sensitivity is usable in live view mode and for navigating between menus, unlike the ones in D5 and D5000. The touch sensitivity can also be used in playback mode.

One of the most obvious differences between the D850 and previous models is the difference is the viewfinder hump – D850 does not have an inbuilt flash. In its place, there is a flash sync socket or users will need to get a WR-radio control trigger set, which includes the WR-R10, WR-T10, and WR-R10.

Time Lapse

Just like the previous models, the Nikon D850 features inbuilt intervalometer functions. This allows the user to capture time-lapses without the need for any external accessories. The intervalometer functions can be easily combined with the camera’s shutter live view mode. This helps significantly avoid or reduce vibration on the mechanical shutter

The D850 can collect the images together in a 4K video. It can also retain the full-resolution files of the images, which will further allow the user to create a full-resolution time-lapse in external software. The brand uses the D850’s high resolution to brand it 8k Time-lapse, with the images exceeding the dimension of 7, 680 by 4, 320 video format.


High Resolution 

The Nikon D850 dons a backside illuminated sensor, which means that the light-assembling elements of the receiver are nearer to the surface of the chip. This significantly increases the sensitivity and efficiency of the sensor, by basically enhancing the low-light performance of the camera. It also makes the pixels closer to the edges of the sensor to better gather light approaching with high incidence angles, thereby improving bordering image quality.

Just like the largely successful Nikon D810, the D850 boasts an appreciable ISO 64 mode. This mode allows the camera to bear more light in bright environments and conditions. The camera has almost the same dynamic range advantage as the D810, which means the camera should compete healthily with the medium format sensors present in the likes of the highly-rated Fujifilm GFX 50S and the in-demand Pentax 645Z.

Video Capabilities

One of the standout pluss in this department is that the D850 is the first Nikon DSLR to capture 4K video right from the full width of its sensor. The camera can shoot at a bit rate of about 144 Mbps at 30p, 24p or 25p. The camera can also deliver uncompressed 4:2:2 eight-bit UHD to an external recorder when the user is recording to the card. The Nikon D850 subsamples to capture videos, in turn dropping the level of factor capture and growing the risk of moiré, as well as with a theoretic drop in low light enactment. The Nikon D850 can shoot at about 60p at a resolution of 1,080. The slow mode can capture at about 120 frames per second and deliver at 42p, 25p, or 30p depending on the setting. When on the 1080 mode, the camera delivers focus peaking, which is accessible for 4K shooting.

Conclusion 

The Nikon D850 marks a great improvement when compared with the previous models in the same series. They guarantee value for money with amazing picture and video qualities and overall delivery.
