I just received my Nikon D850 and thought it would be cool to do an unboxing / setup video (that, and I've had more than a few requests).
In the video below, we'll do a brief unboxing followed by my complete menu setup. So, if you've ever wondered how I set up my cameras - and more importantly why - then you'll enjoy this one. Check it out:

Just waiting for mine from a pre-order with BandH!
I hear there's another shipment coming in around the 15~16th. Fingers crossed!
Thank you, Steve. I am a subscriber to your You Tube channel and have been loving the videos.
Thank you Steve, I bought your book, and am subscribed to your videos.
I just watched your video on the D850 unboxing and menu setup. Excellent video! (As are most of your videos.)
Thanks for the kind words everyone :) I'm glad you enjoyed the video.

Steve, thanks for update, i.e. rumor that B&H may have more on the 15th or 16th. Even though I love B&H, they are not offering much info except that after they released the first batch, I'm about #75 on their list.....so fingers crossed they get in (and soon) more than 75.
I'm a big fan of yours & have all your e-books, and love your unboxing video; thanks. I can't believe how much your auto focusing book helped me. Question from your unboxing video: In Set Picture Control menu when you made your selection of "Neutral", I know that doesn't affect the RAW you & I always use but does it affect the imbedded Jpeg the camera shows us when using RAW? Thanks.

Thanks for the kind words - and yes, the profile you set is what's baked into the embedded jpeg. Flat is actually a better choice for showing you a histogram that's sort of close tot eh range of the RAW file, but it just looks terrible on the back of the camera!
When did you place your order for the D850?

A couple days after the announcement - but I'm an NPS member so I'm one of the first in line.
