New batch of Nikon D850 cameras now shipping, Lightroom support rumored to be announced tomorrow

By [NR] admin | Published: October 17, 2017


As I already reported, the next Nikon D850 shipment was expected to hit US stores in mid-October. B&H and Adorama were closed for the past two weeks, but other stores have already started shipping D850 cameras to existing pre-orders. Several people from Europe also reported D850 deliveries in the past few days.


The Sony 128GB XQD G memory cards are finally back in stock (they were sold out since the D850 was announced).


Tomorrow Adobe is rumored to announce a new version of Lightroom with support for the Nikon D850 (not sure if it will be an update to the current version or the already rumored new release).

Check D850 availability: B&H | Adorama | Amazon | BuyDig | Cameta | Focus Camera | eBay | WEX | Jessops

After some digging and with the help of a few [NR] readers, I actually found an official list of 40 recommended lenses for the D850 (click for lens price and availability):
