We have a never-ending list of accolades to give the Nikon D850 but one of the highlights that distinguishes it from its DLSR rivals is its high resolution for capturing stunningly detailed imagery. The back-illuminated design of the sensor is able to acquire greater detail and clarity when working in low-light conditions — perfect for astrophotography.

Elsewhere the D850 has an expandable sensitivity range from ISO 32 to 102400 and a 9fps continuous shooting rate for up to 51 consecutive frames combined with the autofocusing detection range that reaches down as low as -4EV making it a game-changing feature for DSLR ownership if you shoot fast-paced action — like wildlife photography.
