Description
The Nikon D850 is a high-resolution DSLR built around a 45.7MP FX-format BSI CMOS sensor, capable of 4K UHD video and 8K time-lapse alongside its stills capability.
Sensor and Autofocus
The back-illuminated sensor pairs with EXPEED processing for a native ISO range of 32-102,400. A 153-point Multi-CAM 20K autofocus system, with 99 cross-type points, holds accurate focus across a range of lighting conditions.
Handling
A 3.2″ LCD touchscreen supports live view and intuitive menu navigation, in Nikon’s familiar, durable body design — a strong all-rounder for stills-first productions that also need solid 4K video.
