Nikon D850 has probably been the company's worst kept secret . The camera , which was announced a month back during Nikon's 100 year anniversary just explained in brief ,but thanks to leakers some of that information managed to hit the internet and inadvertently lead the camera to be the most talked about topic in the camera world . But now , after a month of waiting anxiously for the official pricing (rumors made headlines after many quoted $1000-2000 more than the official one ) , the Nikon D850 is finally official . Nikon D850 The Nikon D850 is Nikon's jack of all trades semi - flagship camera which sits below the D5 but above the D750 . The model  which succeeds the D810 from almost 3 years back is armed with a new backlit 35mm sensor and the largest optical viewfinder and pentaprism for any camera . Video features on the camera include 4K with full sensor readout and features 8K timelapse . The camera features 7 fps at full resolution and 9fps when connec...

Obtained by NikonRumors , these two leaked press images give us the first look into what the Nikon D850 actually looks like . TL:DR - Nikon D850 has a larger penta-prism buldge on top , and it no longer features a pop up flash . The bulge will feature connectivity options (Wifi ? Bluetooth and NFC? GPS?) rather than a hybrid EVF(as rumored by many) as locking up the mirror for on sensor detection is still in its infancy ) . Nikon will implement this technology in the future once the tech improves and costs drop down  , but by that time they will just feature a Mirrorless lineup as well. Although the new D850 shares the same DNA as its predecessor ,The first leaked images show us that the buttons are now illuminated , this is great for all those "Astrographers" who struggle with finding which is which on the 810 series as backlighting was left out . There is also a tiltable touch screen display and will certainly benefit all those who shoot like to shoot in odd an...

Apart from some pre-announced Nikon anniversary goodies , the company released a few subtle announcements surrounding its 100 year anniversary . The company which started as an alliance between Three optical companies in Japan under the name we now call Nikon . The alliance , which consisted of Nippon Kōgaku Kōgyō Kabushikigaisha went on to be one of the largest optical equipment manufacturers in the world with products ranging from spotting equipment to high precision microscopes. During the time of WW1, the company provided Imperial Japan's need for superior spotting optics as the Great war restricted Germany's ability to provide them (They were enemies during this war however) .Although Nikon's primary market was for the Japanese military , they did make lenses which were adopted by another Japanese camera company called Canon ,since Canon had no optical division , all camera lenses for their Leica inspired designs were provided by Nikon until the Second world war ,...

Nikon has officially announced their plans for the upcoming D850 DSLR . The camera , which wasn't officially announced ,was however released as a press article with focus on "teaser" features including the ability for super - low light image capture and 8K timelapse . The announcement which comes in a time when Nikon is celebrating its 100th anniversary probably hints that the D850 will be a beast of a camera once announced . we expect the camera to feature a ~42MP sensor with the ability to shoot 4K and 8K timelapse .this is a major update over the D810 , but we are yet to see performance gains . Overall the D850 , when announced will surely shake up the Nikon vs Canon feud ,but with recent developments happening on the other side of the fence , its high time Nikon gives us some info on that super secret Mirrorless camera they are working on as well . Press Release July 25, 2017 Development Of Digital SLR Camera Nikon D850 Melville, NY – Nikon Inc. is pl...
