A lot of nice improvements. I really like the 0.75x viewfinder. Loosing the pop-up is a good thing. At least I think the pop-up robbed the pentaprism of needed space and resulted in a lower viewfinder magnification and less manual focus ease.

Dave

By comparison...

F3 (DE-2) 0.8x (The Gold Standard in Viewfinder Comfort for me)
F3HP (DE-3) 0.75x
F6 0.74x (Never tried the F6)
F4, F5 0.7x
D800/E 0.7x
D810 0.7x

The FM2n, FE2 were 0.86x and the FM3a was 0.83x, this from memory. I checked the manuals for those listed above.

Looking good - edited first post to add link to detailed translations of the chinese

NikonRumors.com posted some more information on the D850 from leaked advertising photos. See that site for more details. Here is what most interests me:

No low-pass filter

ISO from 64 to 25600 (hope it is the same or better ISO 64)

No mechanical vibration using LiveView for still images.

New “Natural Light” AWB

45-Mpx

Uses Expeed 5 (same as D5)

Focus-Stacking: Focus-adjusting system, max of 300 layers, customized release (0 to 30 sec), customizable 10 steps).
130% frame coverage compared to the D810

Uses D5 153 AF System

This camera is looking better and better.

[Ron Scubadiver]

When can I get one?

[David H. Hartman]

$4000 or more, including vertical grip if you want full specifications,  9fps

When my F5 did 8 fps I stepped up the CL (continuous low) frame rate to 5 fps and squeezed off single frames. I did the same with my D2H and D300s. If I owned a D850 and an appropriate lens for birds in flight then I'd want 5 fps and 9 fps so I would need the grip.

Illuminated button for shooting under dark situation (finally!)

Can I assume the letters and symbols won't rub off the buttons after 20,000 frames like my D800??     

----------

I'm not sure how many frames I've shot but I think I've rolled over the odometer twice now. Why only frame numbers to 9,999??? Why not at the least 99,999 or more reasonably 999,999?

Is there a good reason?

[Total pictures = 21553 and the AF-ON and + or Magnifying Glass are gone.]

[chris dees]

Impressive camera!
Most things were predictable, but still a few surprises like (not in order of importance):
- Raw L, M or S
- 0.75x OVF magnification
- Focus stacking (require software)
- Natural Light AWB
- Spot area AF
- Electronic shutter improvements
And probably a few more

EN-EL18a + MB-D18, necessary for the 9fps, is an extra expense

How much in Europe?
€4000 + €650 (including EN-EL18a)

[Ilkka Nissilä]

Well, if knock-off grips cost 30€, hard to see how Nikon could price theirs that high. If I recall correctly in 2012 the MB-D12 was about 400-450€, from which it has steadily gone down.

Battery + battery cap is over €200.
MB-D17 (D500) is €429
I guess I'm not too far off.

[Ilkka Nissilä]

Ah, you were referring to D5 battery, didn't notice that.

My D800 has 92,386 frames shot on it (upload an image to https://www.camerashuttercount.com/ to find your cameras total shutter count), my thumb is on the AF-ON button almost as much as my index finger is on the shutter button. The lettering has not rubbed off, though it is a tad bit faded. I wonder if there is something specific to your hands that is making the lettering come off?

I believe the 9,999 frame number limit is due to old file naming standards still in use.
