I sold my Nikon D750 and have been eyeing over new camera. I was not interested in a mirrorless camera and while the new Nikon D850 seems to be all the rage as of late, I could not justify spending $2500+, photography is a hobby and I am not a professional. So, I have been bidding my time and finally the deal I was looking for dropped into my lap. The owner of a local camera shop called and informed me he had just acquired a mint condition Nikon D810 with less than 5000 shots in the box. (Actual count is 4738). I went and checked out the camera and you would never know this Nikon D810 was not brand new out of the box. After shooting some photos was amazed. When compared to my Nikon D750, the camera is heaver, shoots quieter, image clarity and color are far superior. I am very happy. The Nikon D810 may not be the Nikon D850 but for me, it is a winner.

Is 67,567 shots considered a high usage camera? Seller claims this is a low shutter count.

Trying to determine if the price he wants is reasonable. I think it is too high.

Like new condition

D810 body, battery grip and really right stuff l-bracket

$1250

Funny that you equate sensor density with professional needs. Nikon's most expensive flagship camera, the D6 is $6500 and at 20 mp has less than half the resolution of the D850. There are many other factors that make a camera desirable for "professional" use - and megapixels, touchscreens, dual card slots, etc are not that important to a pro.

The D850 has the widest dynamic range, with 46mp the most flexibility when cropping provided you have exceptionally good lenses, together with acceptably fast shooting, ideal for birds and wildlife, and a lot of other features that may make it a candidate for consideration. The D850 is currently on special for $2500, the D750 is $1500. The D850 having been released in 2017, is newer than the D750, which was released in 2014, and has since been superseded by the D780.

Bottom line if you like to shoot landscape and wildlife and can justify the higher cost of Nikon's better lenses, the D850 may be the better choice. If you are a very casual shooter, not averse to compromising image quality with a mediocre lens that has a 10.7X zoom (the 28-300) the D750 would be a better choice, since the extra resolution of the D850 will not only give you no real increase in sharpness and detail capture, it will reveal the flaws inherent to the 28-300 and other less costly consumer/prosumer lenses from Nikon and others.

I have the 850 and what I like about the massive megapixels is the cropping ability. Take one shot and you can crop three out of the image. One thing I don't like about it is the second slot is the QXD card but so far, it remains empty.


The QXD slot is for high speed memory for video. Unless you do video it is pointless and EXPENSIVE!

Have you considered purchasing a factory refurbished model? I purchased my factory refurbished D810 from B&H and have been very pleased. Only 176 on the shutter count.

Thanks for the heads up, I will investigate this possibility.

Well folks, if it were not for bad luck, I would have no luck! Drove 191 miles each way to buy a Nikon D850. I took my time and checked everything I could and found a deal breaking flaw. The joystick worked up, down, right but not left. The left was dead. Everything else looked perfect. This guy has had the camera for a month so I find it hard to believe he did not know of this flaw. Needless to say, to his annoyance, I walked and was somewhat pissed he did not tell me about it. Sure glad I took the trip and did not have him ship it! A sucker I am not! Will look closer to home

So my camera search continues .......

How can you tell how many shots were taken with a camera? I have a Nikon D7100.


Take a photo with your D7100, JPG or NEF, does not matter.

Upload said photo to https://www.camerashuttercount.com/

Site will tell you the current shutter count.

Photo is NOT saved to site.

As you all may remember I was offered a D850 with 11K shots for $2500. Many though this was too much for a used D850 so I passed as the guy would not budge on price. Yesterday found a listing for a Nikon D850 with 926 shots in new condition. No box or manuals but everything else and 2 batteries. Wanted $2300 but got him down to $1950. Serial number is 3081152 which would indicate a US model. Just have to drive 200 miles to Grand Raipids, MI to pick it up as he will not ship.
