SALES / PHOTO SALES – Nikon D850 “5 Star” Bare Body Photo Body at €2,539.00

The D850 is the third generation of the series and aims to establish itself as the benchmark in its class. To achieve this, Nikon uses a new 45.7-megapixel sensor and also changes the processor to handle everything without any lag.

With the D850, Nikon's engineers were able to give it their all, finally letting the full extent of their talent speak. Impeccable in terms of handling, image quality, responsiveness, and even freshness, it would reach perfection if there were not two or three small details in the margins. On the occasion of its 100th anniversary, Nikon brings you a photographic beast whose kingdom extends from studios to the Arctic Circle, including photojournalism, weddings and portraits. Charm.

In terms of images, the Canon EOS 5D Mark IV is a beautiful and expensive development with increased sharpness, Dual Pixel AF technology, LCD touch screen, modern connections, first-class autofocus and high-quality manufacturing.

On the video side, we welcome the 4K resolution, but we're still unhappy with the lack of features like exposure and focus assistants.

From a purely photographic standpoint, the 5D Mark IV easily earns a Recommended rating.

However, it's been four years since the 5D Mark III arrived and the competition hasn't rested on its laurels, quite the opposite. Surprisingly, it is not from the side of SLRs that we should look for the most serious competitors, but from the side of hybrids. In fact, if technologies are still developing, it must be admitted that Sony or Fujifilm are renewing their ranges very quickly. Thus, the A7 range at Sony has seen the birth of no less than 6 boxes in 3 years. These boxes integrate new and interesting features (completely silent shutter release, panoramic mode, 11fps burst, etc.) into smaller, lighter boxes. Before you start buying an SLR camera and if electronic aiming doesn't make you feel sick, hybrid viewing is now more than a reliable alternative.
