Overview

Nikon D850: Extreme resolution meets extreme speed

When Nikon introduced the D800 and D800E, it set a new benchmark for DSLR image quality and super high resolution photography that approached medium format. Now, five years later, Nikon proudly introduces the next evolution in high resolution DSLRs, the Nikon D850 allows photographers to capture fast action in 45.7 megapixels of brilliant resolution. With remarkable advancements across the boardsensor design, autofocus, dynamic range, sensitivity, Speedlight control, battery life, shutter and mirror drive mechanisms, Silent Photography in Live-View mode, focus shift capability and morethis is quite possibly the most impressive, well-rounded DSLR yet.
