I'm curious....
Why would you not just go to Amazon and read the hundreds of reviews?
And get an answer in real time?

I don't know. I used Steve Perry's videos and books when I bought mine. They aren't D850 specific but I don't think he left anything out that I ever needed.

Neither is better. They approach the same information in their own way. Pick one, if you need more when you finish with one, go to the next.

Remember, putting what you read into practice is the best way to learn.

I have David Busch's. It covers everything thoroughly. But can't compare it to any others.

And as a non-conformist here I would instead suggest downloading Thom Hogan's volume.

Their content is always equal, but Buschs publisher used a more readable type face.

Both are excellent. David Busch has a writing style that for me works well. You also can't beat Steve Perry's publications and tips.

I have and recommend the David Busch book. I no longer have a D850 and if you live driving distance from Sharon Pa. or West Palm Beach Fl. I would give it to you.

I have and like David Busch’s book and use it for reference. The way I really learned my 850, though, was by watching John Greengo’s video on the 850 on Creative Live. It offers a comprehensive walkthrough of every menu item with great visuals, concise reference materials and solid setting recommendations for different scenarios.

Thom Hogan bores you to death with meta data.
