This was an ideal kit for a trip of this kind. It was neither small nor light, but adventure shoots like this call for powerful cameras and great flexibility.

The new D850 sensor resolution of almost 46 megapixels and extremely low ISO capability (64 ISO) provides excellent detail and dynamic range — ideal for zooming-in and editing in post-production.

Overall performance and the resulting image quality are brilliant, and the D850 boasts all of the features you would hope to see (and more) in Nikon’s newest pro-level DSLR.

In my opinion, this is one of the most innovative products Nikon has launched in the past few years. If you can give it a try, you won’t be disappointed.
