Thanks! Marshall’s game with Charlotte last week was canceled. COVID problem at Charlotte. We don’t have another game scheduled until Dec. 5. Hopefully it will be played. It has been a challenge shooting games this year. Cancellations and last minute schedule changes and photographer restrictions have been tough. We are only allowed to shoot from the North end zone, no sidelines or South end zone.
So we are shooting into the sun for much of the game. I’ve been shooting Marshall football for 40+ years and have never seen anything like this.

Agreed. I use the D850 with older lenses both zoom and prime and see nothing that would make me buy new lenses. I have posted, in the sports photography section, images from a Marshall University football game shot with the D850 and a 400 f2.8 lens that is at least 15 years old. My wife uses the camera with the Nikon 200-400 f4 lens and the results are amazing.

The Thundering Herd stays perfect with a 42-14 victory over MTSU. The game was played on the 50 year anniversary of the plane crash that killed 75 including most of the football team

I think the sensor is more like 45 mp, not 24.
I know. Don’t know why I typed 24.

That was lucky!
Hope you have the good lenses to use with it.

I have read in many posts that older lenses won’t give as good results as newer ones on the 850. I’m not trying to start any arguments, just giving my observations. For football I use a Nikon 400 f2.8
Lens that was purchased at least 15 years ago and works perfectly with the 850 as does my older 80-200 and 16-35. Again not trying to start any arguments, just saying what works for me.

That is what I'm reading about now. I shoot mainly wildlife, so I do crop quite a bit. Gary
You can crop a lot. Obviously I made a mistake in my original post. The 850 has 45 mp not the 24 I said. Sorry.

Marshall’s game at FIU for this weekend was cancelled. Hopefully our game with UMass at home this weekend will happen.

I have had the D850 for several months. I think you will be very happy with it. The low light capability is very good. I have pushed it to the limit a few times with good results. The 24 mp gives you a lot of room for cropping without degrading the quality. It handles very well and the controls and very accessible.
It compares favorably with the D5 in image quality. The frame rate is not quite as fast, but the exposure and focus systems are in a par with the D5
I have shot many different assignments in many different lighting situations and have always gotten very good results.
The attached photo was shot with the D850 with a 400 f2.8 lens from one end zone of a TD at the other goal line and was very heavily cropped.
