I find the search feature here on UHH abysmal. I do try it, but usually without much success. Half the time I can't even find my own posts.


Use Google like this:

Pentax Camera site: uglyhedgehog

to get something like this:

If you don't need a full frame camera, consider the Nikon D500. It has the same autofocus system as the D850. It also have the same tough build quality as the D5. It can shoot at 10fps. I have two of them. They're awesome cameras. It's $1496 right now

I’m still narrowing it down. Needed more input.

So what are the specific "awesome" features that the 850 has that you want? When you have answered this your best bet is to look at the manufacturers websites and the specs of other cheaper models and see if they have similar "awesome" features that you would be happy with.

Or it maybe that you have done that already? If so do you have any specific questions you were unable to answer?


I’ve been comparing and contrasting for weeks. Just not sure what benefit(s) the full frame will afford me.

Thank you! Advice taken. I appreciate your time.

Well, I'm not a troll but a hobbyist. A couple of issues I need to be clear on. You have a good camera. If you buy another camera, now you will need to learn that camera and develop a new "muscle memory." That may be a substantial obstacle. I shoot Canon. The Nikon D850 USA nice machine. You could also look at the Canon 7D. I have a friend who loves his Sony. By the time this thread is finished it will be 25 pages later and you will have a boatload of suggestions which will only confuse you more. If your "joint" is working well, don't fuss with anything similar. IMHO!
Happy Shooting!

Okay, this question has probably been asked a thousand times, so now 1001. And I’m sure I could find the answer on here with minimal searching but I’m asking again anyway. I’m not kind to trolls so please just skip to the next one if you aren’t friendly!
I’ve decided to move up in the world and say good-bye to my trusty Pentax, which has become an extension of my arm. I shoot portraits, real estate, classic cars, landscapes, etc and I make money doing it so I can justify spending or saving more and then spending. I’ve decided to go down the Canon or Nikon road; I’ve researched the D850 and it looks awesome. Is there an equally or slightly less awesome camera for a smaller budget? Please let me know if you have a D850 or different camera and what you think from your personal experience. Thanks for reading my long-ass question and for the (decent) responses I may get.

I'm guessing you want a new camera you don't need a new camera.

If you are at the point of deciding on a full frame camera, either mfgr will provide what you need. In the most general of terms - Nikon has better camera sensors and tech in their bodies, Canon has better glass. BUT - the differences are splitting hairs at this point, and the decision will be mostly personal and unique to you - like a pair of shoes, or a life-partner. Judge for yourself by renting/borrowing your "narrowed down choices" and your decision will be best informed. And when you ask a question like this, you would be best advised to provide your budget - and saying the D850 is too expensive - says nothing about that. Doing the "Keyboard Kommando" thing isn't going to do you any good if you've "narrowed it down".

The first question to ask yourself is why do I want to change from a camera that is working the way it is supposed to, to a different camera when the one I have does just what I want it to do? Moving up in the world is not a good reason ... GAS is serious and you can waste a lot of time looking and asking and trying, etc. Find the reason, then start looking. Just a thought. I’ve done it and regretted it.

Agree: "However, truly if I were starting over I'd look into mirrorless cameras. . . . I will probably go that route when Canon comes out with one that meets all my needs and wants."

In my case, I'm waiting for Canon mirrorless cameras that decidedly out-perform DSLRs in image quality before I consider switching. My Canon DSLR gear has done quite well so far.

Well, I can't speak for Nikon, but I own the Canon 5D Mark IV. It is an excellent camera. I'm very content with mine. However, truly if I were starting over I'd look into mirrorless cameras. Sony looks great. I will probably go that route when Canon comes out with one that meets all my needs and wants.

I have shot Nikon, Canon, and recently Sony for years. There are many advantages of mirrorless camera's.That said, I have never used a better camera than the D850. It makes all of my Nikkor lenses better.

If it's not broken, don't fix it.
