The Nikon D850 is a DSLR that can handle a professional workload. With a huge 45MP sensor and 153-point autofocus (AF), it is a camera that is perfect for a wide range of photography styles. It also has a dual memory card slot and boasts a CFexpress slot, so you can shoot plenty of material without worrying about storage space.
It has a bunch of features that make it a great astrophotography camera as well, including illuminated back buttons for handy navigation in the dark. A strong ISO range of 60-25,600 means it can deliver plenty of dynamic range in the high-resolution stills you capture. We loved it so much that we put it in five of our guides, including the best cameras and best cameras for timelapse videos.
