[@viveksathish]

Your impression is spot on and completely resonated with me. I moved away from the Canon ecosystem to Nikon back in the day for the exact same reasons that your correctly pointed out in your video. Of course the Canons were amazing and great and did the job really well however, the way the Nikons feel in the hand was something else. The build, the tactile feedback, their menu layout and ergonomics was on point. Their colour science was fantastic too. I still have a couple of basic Nikon bodies just for old times sake. I’ve now moved on to the Sony ecosystem as its more appropriate for what I do which is primarily motorsport and action and at the time of switching, Sony had the superior AF system as well as high fps. Having said that, the Sony never gives me that feel and sense of reliability that Nikons gave. The Nikons were built like a tank and was very confidence inspiring while working out there under various conditions. I have picked up a Nikon D850 many times at the store and chickened out as I couldn’t justify the purchase. I’m sure it will make it to my kit at some point. It’s probably the best and most satisfying modern camera ever built!

[@apstudios01]

I still have my D850 and D500. I don’t think I’ll ever let them go. I’ve owned the D300s, D800,D810, D4, and D5. I’m waiting for the Z9 because I think Nikon Flagship cameras always have a different feel and color science. Thanks for taking us down the Nikon DSLR memory highway.

[@spylo7831]

Jst give me one 🤪

[@vasilakiz]

“I still have “don’t apply to new cameras like d850 and d500. I still have and use professionally my D700 does justice to the phrase

[@Gazzab6]

@AP Studios the Z9 is probably the first Nikon Mirrorless camera that I see is capable of outshining my D500. I'm hoping for a crop sensor version of the Z9 but if it doesn't come, I'll be happy with my D500 for some time to come. It was ahead of its time when it was released which has led to its longevity.

I loved this video, I have had many Nikon cameras over the past 8 years. The D850 was definitely my favorite. I recently retired it and gave it to a couple that couldn't afford a good camera.

Is nobody going to mention the D750 I adore that camera, built to last like anything else from Nikon but it feels amazing works without a flaw and is quite cheap these days. I have used everything from the D700, D3, D3s, D5, D800e, D810, D500, D850 but I always love to come back to my D750. Love the feel it has and the color reproduction is incredible, I don’t think I'll ever sell that camera. I also have to mention the skin tones Nikon cameras produce, can't be matched by any other manufacturer period. Btw great video!

[@krpradi]

Yes, according to me D750 is a legendary camera. The dynamic range and low light capability, color tones still shocks mirrorless cameras. I will be keeping it as much as possible even If I upgrade.

Never used (and have no intention of using), a mirrorless camera. I have always liked large, heavy camera bodies. I had the D700 (with the vertical grip), which is legendary for its color rendition. Wouldn't be surprised if the D700 and grip weigh as much as a Pentax 67. Now, I have the D3s, which far exceeds my level of photography. Love everything about it.

Also the large collection of nikon lenses i have acquired over the years and still use for there unique qualities are still compatible with all the M mount cameras. For all of the younger photographers out there that might be reading this, you should know that the newer lenses are not always better, but rather offer different qualities that are possible by new glass/lense technology.

[@selianboy8508]

Excellent vid... to think that my first 'pro' digital camera, which I personally bought, was the Nikon D100 - highest MP at the time at 6MP! I used to shoot weddings on that thing and it never gave up... still have it someplace in a box! I bought that one in about 2000/21 or perhaps in 2002. Prior to that I used to shoot with D1 cameras and they were only about 2 or 3 MP! I have actually not taken shots on film since about 2000 for my professional work. Amazing really when I think about it! I used to be in the British Army and my trade was photography. They used to provide everything Nikon and we were some of the very first users of digital... great fun and it goes back to somewhere about 1995 when we started to be issued those cameras. Just before we got the Nikon D1 cameras, a few of us in my trade, actually had a Kodak (I forget the model) which used the Nikon F mount - it was something like 12 MP as I recall. Way before its time in fact and cost something in the +£25,000 mark! An absolute pile of carp it was and soon became redundant. You are quite correct that the D3, then the D850 really were moments in time - now the Z9 seems to be another D3 moment it would seem. As is usual, Nikon comes good in the end... whilst all else are about the scream, Nikon really is the cream. Time to sell the missus and buy a Z9 me thinketh!

[@valentinaancona992]

I completely agree with you: I have the same feeling with my Nikon f2-n since 1992 and now the D5300 since 2018. There are better cameras: maybe but I'd be worried to have it under the rain when I'm shooting rugby. A full frame would be great but would require a lens double of the size and I shoot free hand. The perfect camera is the one gives you just everything you need and the feeling at the same time because we're not just business people, we shoot for passion and love too. Thank you for your videos, you're always great to follow!

[@sparkeyjames]

Nice video. I've been shooting with Nikon cameras since the late 1970's. My first Nikon was an FM with motor drive. Then an F2AS in it's last year of production followed by an F3. Used those 2 the F3 and F2AS for a decade or more. Then sold them and got an N90 (F90 for the rest of the world) in the mid/late 90's. Shot with that Camera till 2006. Especially loved the matrix balanced fill flash with the SB25. Sold that off along with my lenses due to a medical issue and didn't pick up a SLR camera (film or digital) until recently when I finally got back on my feet financially and I bought an entire used D850 (7700 shots on it) system with various Lenses, Flashes, battery grip and other accessories. Could not be happier. What a Camera. To tell you the truth I wish I'd never sold that F2AS. The F3 was the workhorse the F2AS was my baby my first truly professional grade camera and was still in mint condition when I sold it. I hope the D850 will bring me as much enjoyment in my return to photography as did those old film Cameras.

[@liselottefrejdig1112]

My first was the FE in 1978, followed by the FE2, F-601 (we never became friends), F90 and F100. (I still have/use it) I’ve had the Coolpix 3100, 5200 and 7900. I have the Canon Powershot G7 and G16. My first and only DSLR was the D500.

I really, really enjoyed your story and video. I am an amateur photographer and started with a Pentax in the film days however my first DSLR was a Nikon D70 in early 2003 I believe. I really enjoyed “as you explain” the feel and layout of my Nikon DSLR’s. Being an amateur I haven’t owned as many cameras as you however my current camera is a Nikon D500 and I have owned a few others (all Nikon) over the years. You explain so accurately why I have stayed with Nikon. Their cameras just feel right to me and the layout is just so familiar each time I use a Nikon body. I am not a person who jumps from camera to camera or manufacturer to manufacturer on a whim or because of something being the latest or greatest. You explain the feelings around camera ownership so accurately and well. I stumbled across your video and really enjoyed it. I will continue to watch your videos in the future. There is something about Nikon cameras that have kept me with this brand. It is the feel of the camera and also the way Nikon produces and feels about their products that keep me coming back to them. Hard to explain but you do a great job.

[@triode1212]

The D3, D3s and D3x were all professional grade bodies. The difference between the D3s and D3x is that the D3s (12mp) was made as an all round professional camera.e.g. Sports, Events, Wildlife and Photojournalism. While the D3x has a larger sensor(24.5mp) and was directed at pro photogs that did more studio and landscape photography, which required producing larger prints.

[@mjames978]

Absolutely as a device the D3 hands down beats the rest for good autofocus, silky smooth shutter.. you can see and feel the quality.. I also have D800 and D850.. terrible shutters on those. I'm glad they moved to mirrorless though as it is a natural progression

Not saying the D700 has a poor grip, but it is NOT the same. My fingers have less room on my D700, than on the D300. My fingers feel cramped, when wrapped around the grip and have no space between ends of fingers and the body. And I keep a battery grip attached to the D700.

I agree with your every word. I prefer the larger camera, they just feel so comfortable in the hand and you are totally correct about the ergonomics. I started off similar to you, D5000, D7100 & D500. I still use the D7100 but the D500 comes out to play 95% of the time.

[@boatman222345]

@@Gazzab6 There is some truth in saying that weight helps camera stability. But today's DSLRs have really pushed the weight limits. Using D7000, D7100, D610, D500 bodies with a 70-300 mm lens over the 14 years wound up giving a painful case of both tennis and golfer's elbow. Using my D700 with a 24-120 mm zoom has made it worse. When I see folks hand holding long lenses like 500 and 600s I say to myself, "I hope they have durable tendons!" Back when I first began using SLRs a pro level Nikon Photomic FTN probably weighed less than half what the D7000 weighs and if you put one of them on one of a seasaw and a D700 on the other the pro level Photomic FTN would be catapulted high into the air!

Can't wait to try to shoot nature with my Tamron 150-600 G2 and see the detail I cat get out of it. Great vid. :)

[@teohrvojeorsanic4156]

Nice video, thanks. I,m also using Nikon for decades, starting with FTn, FM, FE, Nikkormat, F2, FE2, FM2, F90, F301, F801, FA, F3, F3T HP, F4s, F5, D60, D2X, D3, D750, D810, D850 which I use today. Always with Nikkor lenses. I agree D850 is incredible camera and I intend to keep it together with 14-24/2,8 and 35/1,4. This year I will buy Z9 with some lenses as I'm back to photography again (after running a bussiness). Regards from EU - Slovenia

[@PIXELVIILAGE]

That's pretty much everything Nikon has produced! 😀 Wish you a great time with your cameras... 👍

[@samuelotu101]

I love it. I own a D700 and a D800 yet to lay my hand on my new purchase D850 to feel the love you share. Thanks very much I love NIKON

[@rameshjn]

Best Nikon DSLRs and no mention of D700? By far this is one of Nikon's greatest. Have shot with many of Nikon's but none has the soulfulness of the D700. Yes, it has the same 12.1 mp sensor as in D3 but the way the images are processed in D700 are different. The Color, the Contrast, The grains are simply amazing.

[@laknicks]

Agreed

[@PunjabiGymBeats]

Yes i have tried most of them but after holding D700 and taking pictures with D700 OMG its magic.

[@bfs5113]

I only have five Nikon bodies with me right now, the F2A + MD (my first camera) & FE2 purchased over four decades ago, D3 & D300 from 2007 and a Z6.

[@Gazzab6]

Great informative video. I have the D500 with the 500mm PF - what an awesome combo. The D500 shoots at 10FPS with or without the battery grip.

[@markmozley5604]

I still own and use my Nikon FE2 and F5. I shoot digital Nikons too but film is like waiting for a present. I started in Digital with the D1X then the D200 (still have both converted to Infared sensor). I currently shoot the D800E and D500. I have rented the D850 and love it and I am waiting to see if they come out with a new model before deciding to either get it or the Z9.

[@slaidaniel628]

To be or not to be......... Nikon! Thank you so much for your style and experience sir.

[@DidierMOULINPhotography]

You made a good one here because you please me as I like the same as you do!!! Too easy!!! I own a D3S and a D3X and I plan to get a D500 for wildlife and a D850 maybe for landscape with full of details. I had a D850 years ago before I switched to the Mirror less system L’mount. But I’m coming back to Nikon and D3X, D500 and D850 are my go to cameras up until the Z9 will be on second hand market.

[@sfsobin]

Nikon is my pride.Nikon 7200 user..now z6 2 ❣️

[@adrianvanleeuwen]

I own D750 and D780 which are great cameras at affordable prices. Love Nikon DSLRs as I had owned the D300s and D700 before that.

[@chiragalke4331]

Just purchased my nikon D850 last week. This video came out at the perfect time for me :) great video guys. Keep it coming !

[@diwakarjha196]

I have nikon d7500 and couple of days back i own a nikon z5 i have never touched the nikon d850 but couple of times i use nikon d810 thats one of the best feeling camera

[@roberto19801909]

i tell you this. this d850 have the most pleasing colors i have ewer used in a camera. something special abut it . currently have the z72 and Nikon dropped the balls on these cameras really outdated af system i will be selling it ad returning to dslr. plus the small factor feel like a toy. the fact the lenses are still big it makes no sense .. i enjoyed your video a lot.. cheers my good sir.

[@sakshamsaxena3596]

It's all about "feel" and I must say Pixel Village and Nikon never fails to disappoint us.

[@fjphoto23]

Great video and discussion on the old Nikon bodies. I have the D500 and never will replace it.

[@minuteman2006]

I love my D3s and my D3. Such great cameras and fun to hold and shoot with. Thank you!

[@enchantingmizoram8782]

I am being using Nikon cameras since 1979 when I started my journey with my 1st Nikon F3 manual SLR wíth a 50mm lens as a basic learning tool for which it was not meant for. I had been using 400 ASA monochrome film(kodak) then. I used to keep another Nikon FM body with a 500mm mirror lens+35mm lens. My journey with Nikon equipment was and still awesome till date with a Nikon D850👌👌😃😃😃😂😂😂❤️🥰

[@omoriconhonor]

Hi, and welcome far Nikon fan. Me like you, love all my Nikon cameras. I am an old timer photographer, begining with my first Nikon in 1969. Never sold any one from analogue Nikon f, f2, f3, to Nikon D70, D200, D300s, D810 and D850. All of they with out any función problem. Looking forward at My 78 year aniversary I am hesiting bethween a D5 or wait for a future Z8 miroless cameras. My Best regards from the chilean patagonia..

[@PIXELVIILAGE]

Happy to read this message... señor 🙏

[@raymondpayne7597]

Seriously consider the Z8 series when they arrive. Rent one for a weekend and switching to Mirrorless is quite a psychological and artistic shift. However, the "silent" feature has become essential in modern "No extra sound permitted!" Venues. Raymond

[@pixelart4043]

nikon d 850 is enough for next 10 years for a real Photogrpher. Thanks for such a great Video, It would be a farewell for DSLRs in Pixel willage lol.

[@colinbradford2671]

Loved this review thanks for sharing. Still love my D70, the camera that got me into the DSLR world.

[@jesusalvarado6074]

Great video! Thank you so much for sharing your experience and thoughts. I myself had moved on to the Nikon’s Z system and after so many years I just lost that passion for photography. Had a nice system but I really missed my old Nikons. So I sold all my Z gear and bought a brand new D850! I love that camera and my old F mount lenses! I will never part from them again!

[@PIXELVIILAGE]

🤩👍🙌

[@ShwarcArnold]

good job 👍

[@M14sssjuga]

I have switch to other brand, but I still keep my D1X as the best color for me. Shoot RAW and open with NC its 8mp. I also keep D60 for underwater. CCD is still better than CMOS for me.

[@wsteffen]

Very good sum up of your DSLRs, thank you. I'm only an amateur but I use an old D3s and I really enjoy using that old beast. It rains a lot in my town Bergen Norway, but this camera is suited for "rainy" shots, so to say. It's waterproof and handles the rain well, yes my only concern are my old lenses. I don't need the new and fast ones for my photography so the old gear suites me were well, taking only one shot at the time! But yes, I'd like a D850 and hopefully the release of the Z9 now will make many professional photographers to change from the D850 to the Z system. That will benefit amateurs like me! Thank's again! :)

[@nitinb9202]

Your videos are really inspirational, now I think that I too need to display my Nikon's, many of them. Something near to my heart.

[@BurningSteel69]

I do believe... The perfect set up is two D7000's one w/a Nikon DX 20mm f2.8 and one w/a Nikon DX 35mm f1.8. That way you never have to change lenses. or think about different camera control set ups - result is 1- D7000 w/ a 52mm....and 1 - D7000 w/ a 30mm that is even better than 28mm for being the perfect focal length for general photography.. yeah you can always get a 3rd D7000 for a telephoto.

[@robertholloway6887]

Bob Holloway D500 and D850 owner since launch, brilliant. now sadly to go, I pre-pre ordered a Z9 today so every thing has to go except my 500 pf. Had the Z6 but traded it in for the 500 pf. Will greatly miss the D500 and D850 when gone, but time and technology move on.

[@shephyk.u2573]

I ddnt have the luxury of owning an SLR till late 90s. But my first dslr was a Nikon ( apsc). Still i ddnt have the luxury of full frames or medium formats. But now have the luxury of watching PIXEL VILLAGE😍. I still remember your name as a major Nikon mentor and always advertised as that in many workshops. But to my surprise , review of new nikon cameras never came in your channel. ( did i miss those, i dont know)

[@dattatrayvyavahare212]

From Fuji to canon to Nikon in film are, same Fuji S7000👉Canon 350D👉NikonD7100. Only Grouse with Nikon is there quality control, rubber grip getting loosen rest all is built to last. Still have 350d 13 years still strong

[@kelschehuang4932]

I love the Nikon cameras. I still own the old Nikon D200. D500 and D850 both are my favourite cameras. D850 in my opinion is the best of the best DSLR ever made !

[@gregpruitt1647]

Yes... I know the feeling completely. I own a D3, and D700. Both amazing cameras. Some day, I will buy a mirrorless, but I am in no hurry.

[@nosom7]

Agreed sir. D850 is best DSLR ever made.

[@HeikoSieger]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and feelings. Like others wrote, the D700 should be included. It was the "poor mans" D3 back in the days. I made the biggest mistake in giving it away - I regret it very much. Although I own the D850 and the Z7 II, there are times I would rather use the D700. That doesn't mean the D850 or Z7 II are worse, but those cameras are much less forgiving due to the high resolution. I loved your comment about sharpness and softness - of course there are so many situations where you don't need or even want extreme sharpness. Your sample photos taken with the D3X are excellent examples to show that infinitesimal detail isn't required and can be counterproductive - they perfectly convey the mood without emphasizing distracting details.

[@walkwithme2109]

i still have d90. d300 and d3s. d3s is absolute beast. if i found reasonable price d3x, i might buy it

[@subratarakshit8809]

Thak u for such an in depth review of Nikon D 850. Would like you to throw some light on its predecessor Nikon D750 which I own at the moment.

[@weddingbells100]

Hello, again Rad last time I spoke to you I was thinking of getting the Nikon D850 well finally I have purchased one brand new from E-infinity, what an amazing camera it is the colours are truly amazing in fact everything about this camera is really amazing could not be happier such a wonderful camera.

[@midhunkrishnasignature6114]

I respectfully thank you to Radhakrishnan Sir. He is the man who changed my images to next level. I was remembered those days.I was a canon user. I planned to change a new camera and also I was confused to picking a new camera. I used a lots of demo camera like canon, sony, olypus, panasonic etc except nikon. That time nikon have very less usage in kerala. One day I told my confusions to Radha sir. He confidently said that go with Nikon. Finallly I took his words and decided to go with Nikon. Now the nikon boy changed my zone to next level. I felt the way of proud transformation. Thank You once more Sir 🙏

[@PIXELVIILAGE]

🙏🙏🙏

[@cj7073]

Yo is AF lens available for sale on Kerala? Or they all stopped selling it and moved on to Z Mount?

[@hramakrishnaiah413]

D80, D300S, D700, D3S, D7000, D7100, D810, D500 and D850. My personal favourites are D300s, D700, D500 and D850. Sadly D850 perform poorly on focussing which is frustrating for any wildlife photographer. For wildlife, I trust D500 any day over D850 because it lets you down when needed the most on focussing.

[@BenjiSamosir]

D700 user here... the best dslr in my book :) low mega pixel but very good depth of field....

[@PIXELVIILAGE]

D700 definitely is one among the best ever made. But DoF is a characteristic of the Aperture which is independent of the Camera model. 🙏
