Don't forget, you also need the D5 or D4s battery and adapter in the battery grip to get 9fps. The battery and charger will set you back north of $300.00, plus the cost of the battery grip for the D850 is around $400.00. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1357398-REG/nikon_mb_d18_multi_power_battery.html
So to get 9 fps it will cost you about $750.00 to $850.00.

I didn't know you needed all of that to get the 9fps. $750. However, those who really want it will pay that price. I am not one of them.

You used to think the D750 was the best and now the D850. I know that. I won't argue with you because both offer a lot for the money.
However, I would never buy either one of them. By offering so much for the money they are not my kind of cameras.

All reviews come with an agenda. The D850 is probably a great camera and it should be for the price. But in the end it's still just a great camera.

I tend to agree with the Photoblogger experts. That camera represents the current state of the art DSLR by a great camera company. It's got enough stuff in it to keep most of us happy a long time. It can be the best in one package they've seen, but doesn't have to be the best theoretical camera, the "perfect" camera, or the camera that does everything better than every other camera. I'm no great photographer, but I'm considering getting one because my D5100 is getting long in the tooth, and occasionally I come into a situation where I wish I had some of the features only the D850 can offer.

We do our best with the equipment we have, and when we are are able to upgrade, again we do our best.

I have a 2007 Lexus GS350. It's 10 years old and has 100,000 miles on it. However, it still runs great and looks good, so despite the fact that there are cars that I'd love to trade for that go faster and have new bells and whistles (some of the new safety features are fantastic!!), this one is still awesome.....and paid for.....but if you were to say I could have another car that I'd love to have and not have a payment....yeah....I'd go for it. Same with a camera like the D850. It's top of the line. It's the newest world's best pro camera. Many of us would love to have it. Some will take the leap BECAUSE it is so well engineered. Others, like chaman, will stick with what they have because it does what they need, it's in good condition, and it's paid for.....like my car. For some, it's just time for a trade-in.

I am strictly an amateur photographer, currently using a Canon 60D. For a while now I have been researching cameras with more of the features I need, such as better dynamic range, less noise, dual card slots, etc. Whenever I check out different internet searches such as "best cameras in 2017", etc. the top 5-10 spots are heavily weighted with Nikons. The D750, which I think is three years old, still makes the list as one of the best. Others that show up are generally the 810, D5 and D500. Now, I have read several reviews of the 850 which, indeed, do rank it as one of the best. (Unfortunately to expensive for me, and probably overkill for my ability.) It does seem to me (as an amateur with no first hand Nikon experience) that Nikon has really upped its game in the last few years. This is NOT a Cannon vs Nikon argument. I just wish to comment on the thread, and agree that the D850, from what I have read, seems to be a really good camera that can probably "do it all".

Have a 2001 4Runner with 258k miles. Never had a problem with it other than a ujoint which cost 85 bucks to repair. I service the SUV and keep it clean. My goal is 300,000 and if it's still running good 400,000. I'd like to buy a Porsche Chyanne which I could if I really wanted to but I'm keeping what I have for now.
That said. I'll use my D500 until I move or travel a lot where I can take landscape photos. For Florida wildlife the D500 and 200/500 legs works well for me. But the 850 is amazing...
