Get a quote Nikon D850 It has become long-awaited because 3 years have passed since the release of its predecessor, Nikon D810, and it, in turn, was an update to the Nikon D800 released in 2012. So this camera has been waiting for really more than one year. Well, the more pleasant it is to get one of the first in Russia to test it. Nikon D850 is not just an upgrade of the good old D800 (which, in fact, was the D810). This is a brand new camera with lots of interesting and practical features.Main features of Nikon D850:

These devices can often be found in the hands of professionals. They have proven themselves in different types of shooting: wedding, studio, landscape.
The resolution of the matrices Nikon D800, D800E, D810 and D810A is 36 megapixels. Nikon D850 received a new back-illuminated CMOS sensor developed by Nikon specifically for this camera. Its resolution is 45.7 megapixels! We have not seen such a sensor in any other model.
But the innovations do not end there. Nikon D850 got a phase-detection autofocus module, like the top Nikon D5. Now focusing is carried out on 153 points, 99 of which are cross-type.
Focus points in the viewfinder. 55 of them are available for selection by the photographer, the rest are involved as auxiliary. Thus, at the same time, it was possible to achieve the highest focusing accuracy and not complicate the photographer with a long choice of the desired point from 153 possible options.

Improved speed and serial shooting. Now it is 7 frames per second and as much as 9 frames per second when using the MB-D18 battery pack.
The new focusing module and increased burst speed make the camera suitable not only for thoughtful studio or landscape shooting, but also for dynamic reporting.

The focus stacking function is also new: the device independently makes a series of frames, focusing the lens with a given step at different distances. Such an opportunity will delight subject, interior and landscape photographers who are constantly faced with the problems of the lack of depth of field.
How are things with video? Here the Nikon D850 is “charged” with the latest technology. It offers 4K video recording at 30 frames per second without crop! In addition, there is a function of accelerated shooting Full HD with a frequency of up to 120 frames per second to create a spectacular slow motion.
The price of the novelty is also noteworthy - only 230 thousand rubles. For a professional-level camera with such capabilities, this is not so much, especially in comparison with comparable competitors' novelties.
We suggest starting testing the Nikon D850 by examining its design, design and ergonomics.
