I've owned one since it was first released. I'm still playing around with it. I'm starting to notice a great deal of noise at higher ISO which I don't get with my D750 and D5. Just saying.

Any regrets for you?

I’m seeing a surprising number of D850 “for sale” ads.

I wonder if anyone would admit regret.

At what price? Some got them early to price gouge while the gouging was good.

Take a look at the price on the D850s for sale. I've noticed a some up here, but the asking price was much higher than the actual price. I guess cameras are now being scalped. What's this world coming too...?

They are not "for sale" because of regret.

This reminds me of a few years ago. Harley Davidsons were in demand and demand was running higher than supply. One paid a deposit and was placed on a waiting list. People were selling their places on the list for considerable amounts of money. Some of those who actually got some of those Harleys turned around and sold them for, again, thousands more than they paid for them.

As an aside, I've heard people were using bots to determine the most in demand toys this Christmas. Then, they were buying scads of them. This is creating a shortage which is answered by the very same people putting those toys up for sale on ebay.

An interesting way to make a buck, or several.

Harold, welcome to the Hog!
Yes, the higher mp cameras do tend to produce noise in bad light, but every camera does.
The companies equip them with pretty powerful noise suppression software and it usually does a pretty good job.
Make sure yours is enabled at a high enough level to do a decent job.
Otherwise the ONLY solution is faster lenses or better light(or bigger sensor $$$), and better light is not always an option, nor is a bigger sensor !!!

The D850 got a mediocre DxoMark score for high ISO behavior; this apparently is that camera's area of weakness - not a surprise, as SS has already commented.

Most of the for sale ads want more money than the standard price which mean the sellers want profit from the scarerity of the D850 not because they regret buying it.

No. But I don’t regret not buying one.

Or get stuck with a bunch of crap. Seriously, the average American consumer is not very smart.
