D500 is probably like the D3/4/5 bodies and has Gorilla Glass or similar screen, so no need for protector.
Not sure what the deal will be with the D850, but maybe since it's very pro spec it too will have the tough screen.

Price doesn't look so "aggressive" in Australia.
$5300 with a $200 cash back, current $US to $AU exchange rate would have it at $4200, so I'm not sure who is pocketing the extra $1100. Quite disappointing to see it priced so high here.


The "official" price is even higher here, Nikon themselves are selling it for $5799!

A few stores have it up for preorder a buck or two under $5k though.

Is the weight really over 1kg? dpreview says 1015g, imaging-resource says 915g (but that might be sans battery).

These are some seriously sweet specs.

Definitely will be buying 2 of these, to replace my D810 + D500, one by the year's end, they other by spring.

Noticed B&H pulled the price. No way this camera only goes for $3,300. The only reason it would be that cheap would be to force owners of other brands to buy it ... simply because nothing else available can touch it ... esp. at that price point.

This will be a "keeper" camera that will satisfy for the life of the unit.

The D810 is already such a camera ... except its LCD, AF, and lack

Indeed it won't be anywhere $3300, it's actually $3296.95

the D810 with battery reportedly weighs 980 grams, and the D850 was announced to be lighter.

Thus, 915g seems more realistic.

The first vendors list it at 4 grand here..
I suspect the price will drop to 3,3k in September, (including taxes and everything)

Please don't compare the stiff, inflexible, ergonomically-irritating, lens-deficient, AF-challenged, 1-trick pony of the A7rII to user-friendly, highly-capable, multi-dimensional, lens-rich D850.

The reason other people will switch is because every other camera is deficient by comparison, especially from other vendors, and especially in lens line-up.

Only Canon has a comparable lens selection ... but their 5D MK IV is pale, under-powered, and anemic by comparison. When Canon finally upgrades in 2 years, their 5D MK V will still be under-powered by comparison (same as it took 3 new 5Ds to 'almost' equal the D810).

If you have any doubts, compare the specs of Canon's

Fair enough, but then I fully expect the A7RIII to be a huge improvement. It's guaranteed to get A9 AF, battery, better ergonomics, EVF etc, just shoot a lot slower, but if the A9II can do 12fps, then so could the A7RIII. Also how do you know what any new Sony sensor will offer?

I think 6 months form now we will have some seriously good kit to choose from. All I can say the 5Ds II better be an massive upgrade, but I seriously doubt it'll get with in cooee of the D850 knowing Canon. I'll be selling my 5DsR after Xmas and picking up D850 early next year most likely. The hard part is choosing glass, as I already have Canon's best in each range I need, so not sure what to get with the Nikon, I don't want duplication.

Thanks, 1015g does seem too heavy.

Camera is listed at $3296 at BH and Adorama.

Yeah, ordering from B&H would be 3'300 USD too, but then there's shipping and the swiss customs (about 120 USD) + 8% tax on top of that.

The camera will likely be sold for 3k street prices (with 3 years warranty) by the end of the year, so nothing to worry about here.

I just got my D810 and will try to get my glass collection together before I even consider new bodies.

Of course it is the same tough glass, but not unscratchable.

Been shooting my D500 most days since May 2016. Cleaned it yesterday and noticed the LCD screen has a scratch.

Can't undo that mistake. Next service may replace the screen.

I will get the best protective sheets and have them put in the D850 shipping box. Thanks for reminder.

They might be adding in the weight of the EN-EL15a, but according to the specs I found, it would come in at 1001g with the battery. I guess 14g for an SD and an XQD is probably fair.

Definitely seems they didn't actually shave weight from the 810.

At some point, my screen protector fell of my 3s, and it now has some very deep scratches in it. They're definitely not unscratchable.
