A friendly subscriber (who wishes to remain anonymous) offered to loan me his hot new Nikon D850 and some lenses that I personally own in Canon mount so that I can do some direct comparisons with the Canon 5D Mark IV and equivalent lenses (Tamron 15-30mm f/2.8 VC + Tamron SP 70-200mm f/2.8 VC G2).  While my Canon brain has been struggling with the different Nikon ergonomics and trying to find all the settings I’m looking for, I can also attest to the fact that the camera does a great job of packing tons of resolution (45.7MP) into a true general purpose body, with a much more useful burst rate and better high ISO performance than the Canon 5DsR.  The Canon 5DsR is definitely a “specialist” camera, but the D850 takes that daunting “medium-format-like” resolution and packages it in a more user friendly and useful package.  I’ll be sharing some High ISO and resolution comparisons here, along with some examination of dynamic range, so stay tuned.  In the meantime, check out some of the general purpose photos I’ve been grabbing with the camera along the way.

Here’s Part 1 of my comparison between the Nikon D850 and the Canon 5D Mark IV:
