Well, it was on my Christmas wishlist, and as my current camera developed some issues after a firmware upgrade, i put my name on the D850 waiting list.
it's no different than waiting for a Daytona. You put your name on as many waiting lists as you can ![]() You can buy one for twice the price on ebay (take THAT, Daytona!!). I kept checking the sites and rumors and the delivery dates moved to January-February. Everybody and their uncle want one. it's okay, i said. 2018 will come in no time! And then i got the email from my AD. Your camera is ready to ship!!! WOW!! It arrived here yesterday and now i just have to learn not to suck as much using it. No, a great camera won't make one a great photographer :[ But hey, they say, practice makes perfect. So, i'm all christmased out! I suppose my husband can always wrap the empty box for under the tree, right? ![]() ![]() ![]() t. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Yeah, Thor is the SD guy. I'll have to make a photo when i catch him wearing it :) Quote:
I've never tried using a Canon DSLR. When i was shopping first time, someone told me: "They are equally good. Buy what your friends have, so you can trade lenses." And people around me had Nikon :) Quote:
I'm still just clicking around in Jpeg. Each file is 30mb big ![]() I'm a fan of FX frame, but the camera is a lot heavier too. Need to steady my hand ![]()

Those shots came out beautifully.
I’m glad you are enjoying the D850. Sounds like you have some good glass to pair with it |

I have been doing some studying/learning/reading since i got it and patiently waiting to use it more. I've never had a FX camera, so hard to compare, but the autofocus is very good, so is high iso. No grain. Still can't believe i got it so soon!

I use a D800 with all of the Nikon f2.8 lenses (14mm up to 200mm - trinity), including the f1.4 50mm and f2.8 105mm macro. I am considering the D800 in the future. For now the D800 works perfect.

Congrats on the D850. Fantastic camera. Try the macro lens: Nikkor
105mm f/2.8G IF-ED (you have that one right?) is fantastic and you shall be able to get some lovely macro shots! You need a tripod for that of course. |
