Nikon previously announced that a Nikon D850 was on the way. Now the specifications of the new camera have been leaked. With a 46-megapixel sensor and 4K video, it looks set to be an interesting model.

Leaked Nikon D850 specifications


- 45.75-megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor
- 9 frames per second (with grip, otherwise 7)
- 4K video (in FX, no crop)
- 8K timelapse capability
- Sensitivity: 64 - 25,600 ISO (expandable to 108,400 ISO)
- 153-point autofocus system
- 3.2-inch tilting touchscreen
- 0.75x magnification in the optical viewfinder
- 180,000-pixel RGB sensor (the same as in the D5)
- Silent mode
- Focus stacking option (up to 300 photos)
- Dual (SD and XQD) card slots
- No low-pass filter

The leaked slides from a presentation can be seen in the video below.



There were previously some rumours about a hybrid viewfinder (both electronic and optical, as used by Fujifilm, for example), but according to these new details, that does not appear to be correct.

    Another Nikon that I’m not waiting for! 45 Mb pixel. So how big will the files be. And we all look at the result on a computer screen of 1900 by 1000 pixels. So in full-screen format, pixels are skipped. Where is Nikon’s mirrorless SL camera. Have now switched to Fuji out of sheer desperation!!

    Well. Once the teething problems have been brought to light by the buying public, the D860 update will come. Can you trade in the 850 for an 860 by paying .... euros extra! Shown before!
