Im considering buying a D850 in 2024 is it still a viable option ?

Bought refurbished Nikon coolpix p510 42x optical 24-1,000. Great photos $280 Amazon

We are at Giraween when we watched this, loved seeing your trip and composition efforts, thanks for the tips.

Per la nitidezza è uguale al nikon 70-200 FL sulla velocità un po' meno e risulta piu' pesante ma per la differenza di prezzo e' un vero affare.

Keep up the incredible work!

Fantastic video Josh. Like how you share camera settings before you take the shots.

Great video. Thank you.

What a pleasant surprise. I set out to learn how to use my new ND filter and ended up taking part in an awesome hike! Thanks for both the 10 stop ND tutorial and for this hike! Next time I'd like to come along for the hike in the dark back, too 🙂

Thanks much! I appreciate your candid admission of being too lazy to re-expose for the time difference in taking your baseline and eventually making the shot. 40'? Makes sense to me!

Thanks Josh, just what I've been looking for

Very nice tips. Thanks Josh.

You certainly eat weetbix. Amazing adventure

What filter you have on?

Il be brutally honest its 2024 i used z9s in scottish highlands (through a company mine was sponsored by) after 3 days into my 2 weeks mountain climbers shoot , i hated the camera the lenses , i realised they were second rate compared to my 24-70 fl ed vr and 70-200 fl ed vr pro lenses , it became obviously clear early on , the Z equivalents didnt crop in as close as the F versions , WHY same happened printing on high res printers over 300 dots per inch (9600 dpi printers) confirmed my suspicions , so why are my pro f lenses sharper than these all new singing danceing Z counterparts unedited ? Marketing . Suggests most new camera owners will edit their images adding what the camera and lens falls short on ! Shocking . But modern marketing isnt to be trusted , its a numbers game .. after 2 solid weeks with z9s and familiarising buttons and menus , i immediately bought another d850 + grip on returning home feb 2024 , my trust in modern gear has slumped , before buying check all reviews , ask yourself why when testing say a z 85 f1.2 against the f mount 85mm f 1.8 AND NOT the f mount 85 f 1.4 ? Because the z mount 85. 1.2 is no match for the pro f mount lens , like most other z mount counterparts , pro fast f mount lenses were just made to well ! Yet the z pushers wont tell you this , as d850s fly off the shelves , Z cameras are seemingly disposable

Great work!

Thanks for sharing your trip to Australia! It's a shame so few people have gotten to watch your video!

Great video

I think it is worth and it will be until there is the last one working on the planet 😊 You can shoot anything with this camera and get the same results like with a mirrorless. You really dont news anything better than this to be a Great photographer

Why go with an F/2.8 in that light? Go with much cheaper lens with a long reach 400mm with F/5.6 in that light will be better. Just think about the huge amount of money you could have saved.

Thank for the informative video

Hey Josh...Jerry here...i just watched your video on Long Exposure with ND filter. I think my error was to not switch to MF instead of AF. I took the shot....then put the filter on but was in manual mode but af. I did a 8.5 sec exposure but was in AF...So I will try tomorrow or thursday and will try to remember the steps..so let me review and please get back to me..first take photo to see settings. place in MF and multiply x 1000 the shutter speed ex 1/30 x 1000= 13 second exposure. with a ten stop exposure...how do i add a copy of the photo to show u the results for Critque?

Magnificent and even though i live here I cant get enough of seeing my own country through photos and videos from everyone. Thank you.

I bought the D850 in 2023 and I absolutely love it!!!!!

I have the d810 ..love it .ill buy the 850 ..no mirrorless for me..yet at least 😊

Very beautiful and comfortable in my hand. Lots of character lenses. Even the 610 can produce amazing pictures with old lenses such as the 35.2 and.

Buying Hoya pro nd is a waste of money. This filters scratches on the first day.

05:24......you have set the AF correctly, screw in the filter. And the focus changes :)) There are always slight shifts of the front element of the lens. This is not a good method.

In the same boat! Love the D850!

I'm actually inspired by some of these photographs; and that's what a camera is really for, but it takes a real artist to grab the inspiration right out of the raw wilds like this. Unbelievable, man. 🏞️ Thank you for sharing.

Gracias, buen vidio

stunning video. You did a heck of a job, my friend. Antoine from the Netherlands.

Great gear 🎉

Nice vid. Mirrorless IS the future and the current. But I know what you meant. Either or, a photographer just needs to the tool that best fits their work flow. I sold my D800 a while back and now I want to buy it again.

Good job 👏🏻

I have a Nikon D810, I shoot landscapes and astro, should I overdo it on the D850?

Beautifully filmed Video! I just “like” this dude, and so LIKE and SUBscribed! Josh reminds me of my Best friend of many years. Well done, and look forward to more content from you. You have a good “eye.” 👍✌📷😊

Keep up the chase Josh. Nice job if getting those images. I'm looking forward to obtain the D850 also. I shoot with the D500 and also D810, but the D850 is a step up from those for sure. Good luck and always be careful in those bear places.

D850 is the best, Cheers from Chile, Souh America!!!

Nikon D850 is worth buying anytime as long as it is still functional because it will take good pictures.

Hello Josh Thank you for your presntation ! I see you are using Nikon .I have a D 700 D 300s and D 7100. I am very happy with Nikon ,but to advance into Mirrorless system I purchased into the Olympus, Lumix system at the OM D e1 mark two and Lumix G 85 level .Taking in consideration processor size and higher ISO concerns what are your thoughts ! Thank you in advance for any input !!!!!

What made you choose the Tamron over the Nikon 70-200 f4 vr?

I bought my Z9 in June '22 and while I really like the camera, I purchased a brand new D850 in December '22 so that I have Nikon's best ever DSLR. You did a really GREAT job explaining why you purchased the D850 and the environment in which you use it. Well done!

really nice shots!

Great images.

I have been shooting with the D850 "which I still own" for years as a wildlife/bird photographer, and been shooting the Z9 for close to a year now. The D850 still excels in certain categories where the Z9 and ALL mirrorless fail at, first the OVF, there is NOTHING like a OVF, second is the battery life, the D850 with the grip "which I use, I use the Velo with wasabi batteries, same as the Nikon brand for half the price" can go for days before worrying about the battery, remember the D850 does not have to power an electronic viewfinder, and the third thing is AF, yes mirrorless have eye and animal tracking, but it does fail in certain situations where the background has more contrasts than the object in the foreground, the sensor most of the time tries to pick up the higher contrast subject, which is a no no is bird and wildlife photography. What also happens with these AF/EYE/SUBJECT tracking technologies is that most people forget how to frame their subject and rely on the tracking to do the work for them. The reason I got the Z9 was mostly for it's video capabilities, where DSLR's stink at, the bigger buffer compared to the D850 and the higher FPS, which all these features are not needed for landscape photography. If they had made a D850 DSLR with the specs of the Z9, I would have gone with the DSLR. And don't buy into the BS most of these youtuber snake oil $$$$$ salesmen try to sell people, they get angry when someone calls them out on their BS, heck every week they try to sell everyone the new and "better" camera. For them it's all about clicks $$$ and not PHOTOGRAPHY. Another reason why most of those channels, pretty much all of them have tanked in their viewership. I also owned the D500 since inception, killed it last year in a freak mishap, still miss it.

Absolutely beautiful! Great video and idea, loved it!

Hi Josh, technically the higher noise is caused by lower exposure - as you make the exposure time shorter, you let less light to reach the sensor, and less light means more noise. The same happens when the scene gets dark - you're forced to either increase the exposure (set longer shutter speed or wider aperture), or increase ISO which makes the image brighter but reveals all the noise.

Thank you for the great insight of 64 iso on the d850 👍

Magnificent video. Thanks for posting!
