The Nikon D850 is a full-frame DSLR for landscape, wedding, studio and wildlife photographers who prefer an optical viewfinder. Three things make it stand out: a 45.7 MP sensor, a 153-point phase-detection autofocus system, and a battery rated for about 1,840 shots per charge. It shoots at 7 fps, or 9 fps with the optional grip, and records 4K at up to 30p in a 915 g body. Compared with Nikon's mirrorless Z7 II, it offers the same resolution with an optical viewfinder and much longer battery life, while the Z7 II adds in-body stabilisation.
