I am continuing to update my list of rumored/expected details for the new Nikon mirrorless camera. Here is the new info:
The situation with the Nikon D850 availability in the U.S. is beyond ridiculous at this point. Nine months after the official announcements, the three major U.S. stores never had the camera in stock. B&H probably got tired of answering the same question over and over and they updated their website to list the Nikon D850 availability as January 1st, 2100. I think it’s about time for Nikon USA to come out and say something about this situation.
Update – this was a mistake and B&H already corrected it.
Thanks for the link Michael L!
The Nikon D850 got two more Camera GP 2018 awards “Readers Award” and “Editors Award”. This probably makes the D850 the most awarded camera ever – here is a list of all the awards the D850 received so far:
The Nikon D850 is still out of stock in the US, but interestingly enough the D850 filmmaker’s kit is currently in stock at B&H Photo, Adorama and Amazon.
