I can't wait for it to get here. I haven't heard anything bad about the camera. People just love it. Gary
only thing you might hear is that it's a bit on the heavy side , but the weight helps steady the camera it also adds to it's sturdiness, all said and done chunkiness is a good thing in this case

I have both caneras, but I would say it is not worth "upgrading" from the D810 to the D850. The D850 is a great camera. It offers some very nice features that the D810 doesn't have. It has a tiny bit of improvement in dynamic range and sensitivity. It also has some improvements in the layout of key controls that I really like. But the changes are, in reality, pretty incremental.
I bought mine to have a second full frame body, and I'm very happy to have it. But I still prefer my D810 in situations where the much quieter shutter is preferred. As big as the increase in resolution looks on paper, it is also incremental, not earth shattering.
The one case that I would enthusiastically say yes, though, is if your "other" camera is a D500. The D850 and D500 are functional and operational twins. It is completely transparent in every way to move from one of those cameras to the other.

Thanks. Now I know a little about Focus Peaking. It is getting so that someday cameras won't need a person behind them to take a picture. There won't be anything left for the person to do. The camera will do it all. I'm not so sure that is a great thing.
If you can think that way, it implies that you never do what really matters when you are that person behind the camera.

If you have a ned for a few more mega pixels, maybe but both cameras get really good reviews. A few pages back someone said I have an 810 and I'm not upgrading to the 850. Gary

Just wanted everyone to know Adorama and B and H just knocked $500.00 off of the Nikon D850. I've been using a D7100 for quite a while and have been looking to upgrade. I know the D850 isn't the latest model but the reviews are stellar. I just pulled the trigger. It's on back order but it'll give me time to read up on it. Gary

Pixel density the same on D500 as D850. A D850 shot in crop mode is equivalent to D500 except D850 produces some better dynamic range.

Thanks for the info. I jumped from a D7100 to the D850. Immediately after I bought it I had medical issues. Had surgery yesterday. As soon as I can get off the couch without groaning I'm hoping to use it extensively. I have about 4 clicks on the shutter. Gary
