 A review of quality takes time. Also scroll down for Extras on AF settings, ISO comparisons et al. Well worth the wait

It is interesting though it doesn't include much detailed analysis.

The second part was the only review of the D850 which I've seen so far which included use of the battery grip and EN-EL18 series battery for shooting action. "the riders are approaching 75kmh and moving towards you and left to right. The D850 had no problems at all, producing results similar to the D5 up to ISO 6400 – and somewhat better than my old D4." The author seems to prefer group area and 9-point dynamic area on the D850 which is what I prefer (on the D5 as I don't have the D850) as well. Most of the criticism of the D850 AF that I've seen (relative to the D5) have come from use of 3D tracking.

yes, 3D tracking is different on the D850. The results seem less predictable than 9 point and GRP, sometimes 3D works as expected, sometimes I get results where no pixel is sharp over the whole frame
