1 Has anyone specifically upgraded to the Nikon D850 from a D610. If so are you happy with the upgrade and what features do you like about D850.

2. What lenses are you mostly using with the D850? I've been reading that some of the lenses don't work as well as the higher-end lenses do.

2. Are you using the LR which LR are you using.

Thanks! Lou

The Adobe subscription is always up-to-date, although it may take a week or so for Adobe to deploy support for a newly released camera. The last standalone LR release ended support in Dec 2017. If you've applied the final point-update to v6.14, the Adobe site shows the standalone v6 will process RAW from a D850, see https://helpx.adobe.com/camera-raw/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html

Actually I bought the D850 when it first came out and I added a D610 this fall. Image quality on screen is fairly comparable. Advantages of the D850 appear when you crop. If you "pixel peep", you will see more detail from the 850 but, full size at normal viewing distance, the 610 holds up very well.

Thanks. I have the standalone LR6 and when I checked for updates it tells me that I'm up-to-date. Yet, I can't import NEF files from D850. Maybe I should contact Adobe about this. Thanks Again, Lou

The 'update' function with Lightroom does not work. There are no active computers at Adobe that respond to requests from your stand alone software. When you say 'up to date', what does the Help / About menu say from within LR?

I bookmarked a recent link that gave two links for the Windows and Mac versions of the update file. I'm already at v6.14, so I can't say these will get you to v6.14, but they're suppose to .... Download and see what happens.

Thanks. I just bought the D850, but haven't had the chance to fully test it out. I was wondering if people were happy with the upgrade and if they thought it was the worth it. I was disappointed that my D850 files wouldn't import to my LR6, but thanks to the link provided by CHG CANON it now works!!

What type of shooting do you do? I also have the D500; which I like a lot. I use it for sports and wildlife. Thanks, Lou

I love landscape/scenic/travel photography. My wife and I always said that we would travel in our retirement. We have hardly been home this year, it seems. Next trip=New Zealand cruise in Feb. Some examples: I used the D850 in Yosemite this year ( https://www.uglyhedgehog.com/t-594855-1.html ) and the D610 in the Smokies ( https://www.uglyhedgehog.com/t-618083-1.html ).

Beautiful images from both trips. My husband and I are going back to the smokies sometime in the spring. Thanks for sharing the links. Lou

I looked at both of your links and have to say they are both very good collections of images.
In particular, your shot of Mabry Mill is one of the best I've seen recently

My full frame camera is the 24 Mp. D610. The camera gives me excellent files with plenty of pixels for enlargements. I do not print murals.
Before I upgrade, not very common with me, I always ask myself the same question "will the new camera give me better files?" A new camera could have features that will make my photography easier but surely I do not need 45 Mp. nor I print to sizes requiring so many pixels.
I am not a pixel peeper for sure.

Now that you have the D850 you will have to print really big to tell the difference with the D610 if indeed you print big often. My most used lenses with the D610 are the 24-85 f3.5-4.5 AF, VR and the 28-105 f3.5-4.5 AF.
Congratulations and enjoy your new camera.

I use the Adobe version of LR/PS. If you are going to spend thousands of dollars on high-end equipment it only makes sense to spend a few more dollars to get the best software versions possible. Just my thought on this.

Exactly! It makes no sense to spend all that money on a camera and not be willing to spend $10 a month on the subscription.

Of course, if your bought and paid for software fully supports your current camera(s), why would anyone be urged to buy more?

True, if your software does everything you want. but I might be urged by the increased capabilities through constant updates, plus the power of PS when needed.

But there's this...
