Never saw any of that. Thanks for posting. Now I know better than to trust Nikon’s tech bulletins. The difference between 36 and 24MP is rather unremarkable. All of that alarming “blur warning” is pure BS. Acoarst since my own gear maxes out at only 80MP maybe I just don’t have any street cred in this matter ....

Good reason to ditch the 850 right away before the value soils the sheets.

To all those considering the FF Nikon DSLR cameras like the D850. The D880 is being released next year and it will blow the D850 out of the water based on preliminary specs. I'd wait for this camera.

The OP said his camera has 6015 actuations. I wonder how much money it costs him for that 6000 shots by trading it in? The new D850 is $3000 (actually more expensive than the Z7) and if he trades it in how much money he would gets for it?

He can toss the 850 in a dumpster today having spent a out $0.50 per exposure. That is not a back breaker. That was what we spent shooting color snapshots on film. Whatever $$ the 850 brings if sold rather than if discarded is the “digital bonus” compared to color film.

Isn’t that rushing things too much ? Why wouldn’t it be even better to wait for the camera that follows after the 880 ?

I was thinking about waiting for the one after that. Maybe then I'll finally be able to take a good picture. I've been waiting decades for one good photo, so what's another 10 years?

The notion of waiting for "the next great thing" is quite comical, if not at least somewhat ludicrous. Especially on this forum, where it is clear that the vast majority have noe even bothered to learn what the camera they have now can do.

Agree completely yet when acquiring my occasional upgrade I’m always benefiting economically from all the early adopters and the cutting edge buyers, cuz when buying MY OWN upgrades I choose the devalued recently superseded model, the cutting edge of 18 to 24 months earlier.
Nameless example: in our buy-sell forum the used price for the model-X mark2 is several hundred $$. My brand new (USA) mark2 cost me only $100 more than the recent used sales ... thanks acoarst to the release of the mark3 :-)
That phenomenon is not new news, but this seems like the time & place to post my “Thank you” to all the “suckers” who provide that benefit to us lowly but happy “scavengers”. I choose to believe that being on the cutting edge makes them happy while they in turn make me happy. Symbiosis rocks. Thanks again !

Thanks for all the input from everyone, I’ll keep the D850 for now.
I am glad you have decided!
Good to know the strong opinions and commentary were of help!

A lot of $$ for not a lot of gain. You have a race car of a camera. Put it on a monopod and try that. If that is all too heavy, then I suggest going to a much smaller system, such as an Oly OmD em5iii with the smallest of lenses. Or similar.

Perhaps a little harsh, but probably fairly accurate description. I know I’ve bought equipment that maybe I didn’t need. Doesn’t mean it was a bad decision if I could afford it.
Sounds to me like the OP is logical in seeking input from others. If you own a D850, you certainly lose very little by biding your time and seeing what comes along.
