Nikon is celebrating 100 years in the industry this year and to mark the special occasion, the company is creating a brand new full-frame DSLR that redefine the kind of flagship performance that photographers will be used to experiencing.
PetaPixel was able to get its hands on some leaked images of the D850 camera, which Nikon has proclaimed will exceed all expectations. So far, the company has only released a teaser image showing the front of the camera partially, which looks just like any other Nikon camera. The images show quite a few differences from the cameras predecessor. Most notably, it seems like the flash module has been either removed completely or kept hidden.
In other leaked pictures that show the camera in different angles, it can be seen that the DSLR will have a tilt screen as well as backlighting of the buttons. There will be redesign physical interface that will be a departure from what Nikon is used to producing. The D850 will come with Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, joystick for navigation as well as a differently located ISO button
The Nikon D850 is expected to cost well over $3,000. With Canon pushing to make more compact cameras and reducing the form factor while at the same time retaining the breadth of features that Canon is known for, Nikon has gone the other way in terms of offering a plethora of new features and subtle design changes. One of the primary features that the D850 will feature is the 8K time lapse recording option, which will mean that the camera will boast a higher resolution than its predecessor, most probably.
