Nikon announces the D850 is coming
Nikon Australia has announced the development of the long-awaited replacement to its high resolution, full-frame D810 SLR: the D850.
In a slightly unusual move, the company didn't release any actual details about the camera, though a teaser video released at the same time promises an 8K time-lapse function. At this point we have no idea what it will look either.
Nikon do say that it will be a 'formidable tool for creators who will not compromise on exceptional image quality and versatility' and that it will incorporate 'new technologies, features and performance enhancements that are a direct result of feedback from users.'
You can see the full press release below. Watch this space as we'll share more information about the D850 as it becomes available.
