We've had some time to get to know the Nikon D850 and so far it's safe to say we've been really impressed. Its low ISO dynamic range is class-leading, and it has proven so far to be a versatile tool for shooting everything from wedding receptions to white water rapid kayaking. dpreview.com »

So-called upper-entry-level DSLRs from Canon and Nikon tend to offer many of the same niceties as their pricier siblings, but in smaller and more portable bodies. This makes them great for first-time users who want plenty of growing space as they gain confidence and skills, but also for users of more advanced bodies who may want a lightweight backup camera. digitalrev.com »
