Nikon D850: Beauty and the Beast

Today we are going to talk about a camera that will probably have you dreaming for a few years in savings, lotteries and professional photographers. Because this camera, I already warn you that, if it is not for professional use, it is hardly justified. I mean, it is wonderful, love at first sight, but only in the hands of those who are capable of exploiting its power and saving every cent that has been deposited in it, because, as you can imagine, cheap, cheap, it is not ;-).

Of course, that does not prevent us from presenting it to you, perhaps you are a professional, perhaps you dream of being one, perhaps you have a very comfortable pocket or, simply, like us, you like to be up to date in terms of camera models and various improvements.

Directed to…

This camera breathes professionalism from every pore of its skin, but if you are an enthusiastic amateur with a good budget and want to continue learning ad infinitum, it may also be an option for you.

The Nikon D850 has come to unseat the competition and it seems that, for the moment, it has succeeded (sorry Canon and Sony lovers 😉 ). Because this camera is, without a doubt, one of the best cameras you can find on the market today, and it has become a true classic.

The best

It is difficult to narrow down a few features of this wonderful camera, but its large back-illuminated sensor that provides us with very high image quality, its latest-generation processor that makes it ultra-fast and precise in focus, its 7fps shooting in burst, the flip screen (not always present in professional cameras), the very high quality video recording in 4k, its long battery life, the robust and sealed body, its huge optical viewfinder and the wireless high speed data transfer. These, just to say a few 😉

Worst

I don’t know if there will be worse in this chamber. Time will tell, but the truth is that it has very good reviews and no buts. It’s expensive, true, but it’s a professional camera, it’s not within the reach of most amateurs (and it probably doesn’t need to be) 😉 .

Conclusions

If you are looking for one of the best professional cameras on the market today, if you have enough photographic technical knowledge and a pocket to match its price (and the lenses that should be at the level of the camera to get the most out of it) ), this camera is a dream. So clear. At least it will make me dream of a good season with her 😉
