Official release of Nikon D850
- Thread starter Chaitanya
- Start date
Everything canon should and could have put into the 5d mark iv but didnt because they are stingy..aside from the 8k timelapse and stacking thing.

My first impression was somewhat impressed by the 9 frames per second, but I'd guess the majority of people with D5 batteries are gonna be choosing their D5 for high speed assignments anyway.
Will be curious to see what kind of frame rate the 5ds2 ends up with now, since the 5DS shoots higher resolutions than the d850 while still only using compact flash. I could see a Cfast 5DS2 shooting similar speeds even with like 75 megapixels.

So in the same tradition of grumbling that CR generates over what Canon cameras don't have, what's this one lacking?

What an lovely body.
What would I like to see in an coming Canon competitor too:
4k & 8k timelapse
Slow Motion - capture Full HD 1080p at up to 120 fps
Tilting LCD Touchscreen
Silent Shooter -users can shoot in complete silence with live-view
Widest and Brightest Optical viewfinder
Phenomenal Battery Performance - 1,840 shots at full resolution or approximately 70 minutes of video
Illuminated Buttons !
Focus Stacking !
Focus Peaking
And the price.... (that is rumored about 3800€)
Well done Nikon!

How long is it since I heard 7fps described as 'astoundingly fast'?
That whole first paragraph is filled with so many superlatives, that if it were not Nikon I would immediately walk the opposite direction.
It looks like a great competitor to the 5D4 and the one negative I can see is that it has only 15 points sensitive to f8. Many fewer than the 5D4.
It looks like it is cheaper than the 5D4 but is $200 really that significant?

7 and 9 FPS is impressive considering its pushing 45mp! 51 frame buffer of 14-bit lossless RAW capture. Wonder how long the write times will be!
The 5DMKIV is rated at 17/21 and 1DXMKII 59/73 frame buffer. There must be come powerful processing in the D850.

Would like a flip screen and GPS but otherwise this thing seems like a dream "no compromise" camera.
Been waiting for the 5d mark iv to drop in price a little before I pull the trigger to replace my 5D3 but I can't help but lust after this one. I would easily drop 5K if I could get this with an EF mount.

As I said on another thread, Canon will answer this. Oh yeah, in 2021 with a 5D Mark V with:
- 36 Megapixels, with a mandatory AA filter so you don't get all the sharpness
- Some improved video, but some last century codec to screw you
- 8 fps (as long as the battery is full or almost)
- No BSI sensor, who would need that?
- No stabilised sensor too
- an ancient regular SD slot
- Some super innovative feature like the dual pixel raw that does absolutely nothing usable
- No AF auto adjustment, if you're missing focus it's your fault, never the camera/lens
MAYBE we get a tilting screen and focus stacking...MAYBE
Canon didn't see my money with the 5D4 and with the way things are going I might still keep my 5D3 for a very long time.
I'd make the move today if I could trade my gear for equivalent Nikon lenses and flashes without losing too much money.

You mean 7fps to compete with Nikon's 'astounding' 7fps or...wait for it...9fps if you spend another $500?
No stabilised sensor when Nikon doesn't have it either?
No Auto adjustment when Nikon has one that no-one finds useful? And where does Canon say 'miss focus its your fault' when they build in AFMA?
Dual pixel raw that does nothing useful but everyone says is great for video?
As for in-camera bracketing - they have not only bought in Sony's sensors but it is looking like they have also bought into Sony's ethos of 'throw in all these fancy things that very few people will use and wow people with the spec sheet' in an attempt to recover dropping market share.
I am not saying the new camera is not looking good (it really is) but impact on the market is yet to be seen n posts like yours are more about gear envy than what is actually useful. The fact you are not willing to take the hit on selling your Canon gear shows how important these features are in the grand scheme of things - but if you are so pessimistic about Canon's future, if you look at the added enjoyment you will get from owning Nikon over so many years is surely worth it.

Looks like a good camera.
The betterthe competitors are the more Canon need to respond. I see this as good in the long run. I don't I'll ever switch to Nikon so I need Canon to stay motivated and improving. (Sony are more tempting they are really improving their frame rate on that new camera. Just lacking the long lens to go with it yet but they are probably in the pipeline. I'm not a great fan of the 7DII. I do a lot of sport and frame rate is a huge asset. 20 FPS would capture a lot of amazing action shots. 10 FPS is good but not fast enough to capture all the action.

I am a 5D IV user with lots of Canon glass and equipment. I can't help feeling that the D850 is far better in all aspects (except DualPixel AF), and at a lower price point. The problem for Canon is that the consequence of the somewhat poor (especially video) specs of the 5D IV will make it impossible for Canon to really lift their EOS line before they release improved versions of their top notch EOS cameras (1D/5D). I really feel that Canon has screwed me, when they chose not to include technology they actually possess and hoping that I will buy something from the C-line in addition. As I am only an enthusiast wanting a good hybrid camera, that will not happen. Espcially when you can get more complete hybrid cameras from the competition. This is only leading me one step closer to switch to Nikon or Sony. If Canon do not see the writing on the wall soon, I do believe that they might become a victim of their own commercial tactics.
