Here is a quick translation of the leaked Nikon D850 slides:
Nikon FX DSLR has 45.75M pixels. Around 9 fps* and more enhanced features. Can capture still and sport photos with sharp images.
3.2" variangle 2.359M pixel touch LCD screen
- Richer touch functions than D5 & D500
- Could do quick cropping using "I" button during playback
Playback: Full touch screen (scroll, drag, status bar)
Menu: D5/D500: button operations; Q1330: Full touch screen
- 45.75M
- 9 fps * MB-D18 + EN-EN18a
- 8K timelapse
- 4K movie
- ISO 64-25600
- 3.2" 2.36M vari-angle touch screen
- 153 AF system
- 45M quiet shooting mode
- 0.75x OVF magnification
- 180,000 RGB sensor
OVF 0.75x is the largest magnification rate for all existing DSLR in history (OVF 0.75x is the largest magnification rate for all existing Nikon DSLR in history).
Using famous D5 153 AF system
- 130% frame coverage when compared with D810
- incorporated with AF engine
- center 1 point -4EV AF, all other points -3EV
Focus adjusting system could offer you deeply stacked* picture
- Max nomber of photos: 300 photos
- Focus distance interval could be customized (10 steps)
- Shutter release could be customized (0 to 30 sec)
- Continuous shooting around 5 fps
- Suitable for shooting jewelry, specimen and landscape
45M pixel gives you clear and sharp high definition image, could satisfy big outdoor advertisement which requires 8K resolution
- No low pass filter
- Standard ISO: 64-25600, boost: ISO: 32 to 108,400
- Using Expeed 5 (same as D5) processor, high ISO together with good noise reduction engine, could give you high quality of color reproduction
Pictures: demonstration of with and without low pass filter
45M quiet shooting mode, when releasing the shutter, there is no sound and no mechanical vibration (using live view for still image)
- Only using an electronic shutter
- Suitable for museum or opera that require quiet environment, and Astronomical photography, macro photography and architectural photography which are prone to minor mechanical shutter vibration, so that your image would be sharper
- Around 6 fps under this mode (AF/AE fixed)
- Suitable for sports photography which requires quiet environment, e.g. play golf when player is very concentrating and moving the golf clubs
- Quiet mode could be 30 fps with 8MP image (longest duration 3 seconds, DX mode, quality = normal, AF/AE fixed)
9 fps * (with MB-D18 + EN-EL18a) or 7 fps
- Could continuously shoot 51 frames 14 bit non-compressed raw photos at one time
Low light focus -3EV, greater possibility to take photo under dark situation (same as D5)
Using 180,000 RGB sensor same as D5, better face detection and precise auto adjustment using enhanced scene recognition system.
New Natural Light AWB enable you to have better color reproduction under natural light
- Set to Natural Light AWB, the camera would provide you more concise white balance
- Target for red leafs during autumn, sunset or sunrise, will have more saturated color when compared with [auto1] mode
- When shooting outdoor, no need to set white balance to shadow, beautiful images would be captured under sunny day or cloudy day
[Auto] according to the information received via scene recognition, adjust and enhance the image
New: enhance the red color under sunrise / sunset
Enhance the saturation of landscape photo
- Soften portrait photo
Using "spot area AF" to AF on very small area
- The size is 1/2 of "standard area AF"
- Suitable for shooting macro, focusing on a very small object
- Illuminated button for shooting under dark situation (finally!)
- Raw L, M or S for your selection
- Enhanced Multiple exposure flexibilities
- 1:1 photo size (new)
- SD and XQD dual card slots (new)

0.75x OVF... that means you can't see the edges of the shot, right?
'Suitable for shooting jewelry, specimen and landscape'. Great news; now people will be photograph these things, even if they can't spell them.
'Illuminated button for shooting under dark situation (finally!)' Ideal for people who don't know where the shutter release is.
It certainly takes the award for 'most bullet points'.

Nope, I assume coverage will be 100%Magnification really relates to how big the view finder is ( in combination with the coverage)..
Nikon FF tend to have 0.7 ish mag for 100% ff viewfinders, so the D850 will have a slightly larger vf than the D810/61o/5 etc
Been getting emails about the D850 today - price is £3,499
There's some nice bits of the spec, but is there really no built-in wi-fi again? It's a hugely expensive add-on for the D810 and looks like it'll be the same for the D850
My son's 5DMk4 (broadly the same price at launch?) has built in wi-fi, so this is just another opportunity for him to gloat ....

Nikon spec includes Wi-Fi and if you look at the product images on the Nikon website, the WiFi logo is on the body.There's some nice bits of the spec, but is there really no built-in wi-fi again? It's a hugely expensive add-on for the D810 and looks like it'll be the same for the D850

Where have you heard that it's not built-in?

So, I am most exited about is that Nikon is FINALLY taking movies seriously ! This beats the hell out of the new Canon offerings at last !
Full-frame 4K UHD at 24/30 fps: The D850’s FX BSI CMOS sensor allows 4K UHD output at a full-frame width at 16:9, to increase lensing options and provide a true field of view.
Canon has crop mode unless you buy a 1D-c
Focus Peaking: When shooting Full HD or in Live View for stills, focus peaking can be enabled which highlights in-focus subjects in the frame to ensure sharpness.
Not on the Canons ( which is bizarre considering third party hackers have added it to other Canons )
8K / 4K Time-lapse: Users can create 4K UHD time-lapse videos easily in-camera, or can use the built in intervalometer to capture images for an ultra-high resolution 8K time lapse that can be assembled in post for those who want the ultimate in video quality.
Not available on Canon.
HDMI output: Using HDMI, users can record uncompressed, broadcast quality 4:2:2 8-bit 4K UHD footage, directly to an external digital recorder while simultaneously recording to a card.
The 5D MarkIV has a HDMI port but the output is only HD, not 4K.

The time-lapse thing is fluff.
Nikon needs focus peeking because it lacks dual pixel af..
D850 is a beast though for what I shoot it looks great shame their lens lineup isn't great
That's the first time I've heard that Nikons lens lineup isn't great Rob, curious as to the specifics of what you mean please? Nikon needs focus peeking because it lacks dual pixel af..

My specific lenses for my specific use.35L mk2 vs 35G - my primary astro lens
The nikon is trash in comparison. The canon is pin sharp and has no coma.

https://www.lenstip.com/286.4-Lens_review-Nikon_Ni...
16-35/4
The canon is more modern and sharper , better ca, coma and sunstar etc
https://www.lenstip.com/411.4-Lens_review-Canon_EF...
https://www.lenstip.com/393.4-Lens_review-Nikon_Ni...
24 tse to PC-E is absolutely no comparison.
Yes I could ise the 14-24 but its huge flares and has real filter issues meaning a switch to 150mm filters and if I was doing that I would go for the tamron 15-30 or canon 110-24 or something.
My other lenses are not so much trouble - 50 art is on both mounts, 70-300L nikons is fine etc

Canons recent lens releases have been pretty astounding really.
24-70f2.8 mk2
100-400L mk2
200-400L
35L mk2
16-35 f4 and f2.8mk3
etc etc
Rob, you know as well as I do that Nikon and Canon continually leapfrog each other in lenses, and at any time one manufacturer will have an advantage in one area that won't be replicated in another, and 7-10 years later it will have all changed as new lenses are released. 24-70f2.8 mk2
100-400L mk2
200-400L
35L mk2
16-35 f4 and f2.8mk3
etc etc
From that list above Nikon have likewise released :
Canon 24-70f2.8 mk2
Nikon 70-200 f2.8 VR Mk3 - first flourite 70-200, the lightest, sharpest, fastest focusing 70 on the market by a considerable margin.
Canon 100-400L mk2
Canon 200-400L
Nikon 200-500 f5.6
Nikon 70-300 AF-P
Canon 35L mk2
Nikon 105mm f1.4
Canon 16-35 f4 and f2.8mk3
Nikon have been doing wide primes instead of Wide zooms, and every one has been best in class. I do agree the Wide zoom is due a replacement.
19mm PC-E F4
20mm f1.8
24mm f1.8 - sharpest 24mm, better than Zeiss and Sigma
28mm f.14/f.1.8 -
I also find it odd that Nikon do not have better primes in the 35mm-50mm range, considering they built their reputation on it...I suspect again we will see some from Nikon in the next few years.
