About this camera
The Nikon D850 is Nikon's high-resolution professional FX-format DSLR, announced in 2017. Its standout trait is a 45.7-megapixel back-illuminated (BSI) CMOS sensor with no optical low-pass filter, pairing class-leading detail with a fast 7fps burst rate that few high-resolution bodies matched at launch.

Works with
- Nikon F-mount (FX/full-frame) lenses, plus DX lenses in cropped mode
- Compatible with Nikon AF-S teleconverters (TC-14E III, TC-17E II, TC-20E III) on supported lenses; 15 AF points remain active at f/8
- Optional MB-D18 battery grip (with EN-EL18b/a) raises burst to 9fps
- F-mount lenses used on the D850 also work on Nikon Z mirrorless bodies via the FTZ / FTZ II adapter (AF-S and AF-P autofocus supported; screw-drive AF lenses focus manually on FTZ)
- Uses EN-EL15a/EN-EL15b batteries; dual card slots take one XQD/CFexpress Type B card and one SD/SDHC/SDXC (UHS-II) card
Best for
A do-everything professional DSLR aimed at landscape, studio, wildlife, wedding and commercial photographers who want maximum resolution without giving up speed. The 45.7MP sensor delivers large, heavily croppable files, while 7fps (9fps with the grip) and the pro-grade 153-point AF make it viable for action and wildlife too. As a DSLR it uses an optical viewfinder rather than an electronic one, so there is no blackout-free EVF or in-body stabilisation, but it offers long battery life and a huge native lens range. It takes Nikon F-mount lenses; owners moving to Nikon Z mirrorless later can keep using those lenses via the FTZ adapter.
Frequently asked questions
Does the D850 shoot 4K video?
Yes. It records 4K UHD (3,840 x 2,160) at up to 30fps using the full width of the sensor, with no crop factor applied.
Can it shoot faster than 7fps?
Yes. The body shoots 7fps on its own, rising to 9fps when you fit the optional MB-D18 battery grip with an EN-EL18-series battery.
Is it weather sealed?
Yes. It has a robust weather-sealed magnesium alloy body designed for professional outdoor use.
Will my lenses still work if I move to a Nikon Z mirrorless camera later?
Yes. The D850's F-mount lenses can be used on Nikon Z bodies via the FTZ or FTZ II adapter, with autofocus retained on AF-S and AF-P lenses.
