Who has made the upgrade to the Nikon D850?

6 years 3 months ago #557044 by M Moore
Particularly I would like to know if you found the value of the camera to be worth the upgrade?   I'm currently shooting with a D800, which is a great camera.  However the 4k video and few other features of the D850 really have caught my eye.  

Overall, are you happy with the camera?

I still shoot a D800, I don't do video (yet) so I am in no hurry to upgrade. However, I've seen no complaints from new D850 owners, many who have upgraded from a D810. It looks to be a winner, but worth a fifteen hundred dollar or so upgrade is something you need to answer. I'll buy one eventually....

Still very happy with my D810. It's probably a better camera than I am a photographer.
When I feel I'm being held back by it's inadequacies, I'll upgrade, but not yet!

Ain't that a fact. My venerable D700 is still more camera than I "need"....

I've had the D850 now for nearly 2 months and will say, it's an awesome camera.  Seriously.  I moved from the D810, which is an incredible camera, however there are a few points with the D850 that make this a worthwhile investment.  

Highly recommend the jump.

How is the low ISO, and how well can you push shadows?

If its even a little better than a D800/D810, it will be amazing....(I must stop thinking about it).....

I have 0 desire to upgrade any of my bodies. Don't see the point.

Yup, I mentioned I can't justify a D850 right now but I do get the NAS shakes at times....:)

My good friend just got this camera, and loves it.  It was an upgrade from D700.  So he really enjoying the jump.

Good upgrade from the D700, but I'm still waiting to read some 'long term' reviews.

I inquired just this last week and the D850 seems backordered in most places. I'll probably get one by summer. I also have an old D700, I won't sell it at going offers, probably eventually have it IR converted....
