The Nikon D850 will be capable of 4k UHD video in FX format (with no crop)

By [NR] admin | Published: July 27, 2017


First, note that all my posts and the official press release describe the D850 as a “full-frame, high-resolution, high-speed digital SLR cameras“, not mirrorless or medium format as some have suggested (the B&H listing of the D850 as a mediums format 645 was a mistake).

This is what we know about the D850 so far based on my initial reports from May and June and some new information:

  • 45-46MP full frame CMOS sensor
  • Improved low and high ISO
  • New and improved version of SnapBridge
  • No built-in GPS
  • Tiltable LCD screen just like the D750 and D500
  • Memory card slots: one SD and one XQD
  • AF system from the D5
  • No built-in flash (from the teaser picture)
  • Back illuminated buttons (from leaked pictures)
  • Joystick selector (from leaked pictures)
  • Built-in Bluetooth and Wi-Fi (from leaked pictures)
  • 8K time-lapse video capabilities (from promo video)
  • New: the D850 will be on display at the Photo+ Expo in October
  • New: touchscreen
  • New: 4k UHD video in FX format (with no crop)

Here are the “big” unanswered questions I have so far – I hope that with this post, I will get some tips from people in the know (use the contact form):
