You mention: "the more MPs the camera has the more shutter speed is needed to freeze action." Why do you suppose the Nikon D1 series has a 1/16000 max shutter speed? The first model, D1, was about 2.7 mp's.

Thanks, Geoff

ZurichPhoto is obviously correct.

He is - but only if one is viewing or printing the images from the higher-MP camera at a greater size than those from the lower-MP camera. This is an important factor, but it often gets ignored. Viewing at web resolution, or printing at something like 9x6 inches, there should be no difference.

Agreed. Assumption is that you actually want to use the higher resolution.

Plus the Dx series have a precise feeling that is missing from the D8xx's. No glitches, everything always works. I hate the fidgety loose feeling on the D850. Love the images though. If I have to use a hi rez camera all day I would definitely pay $7000 for a better tool. And it doesn't need to do 6fps. Just the better battery is a big deal. I used to do weddings with a D3 all the time.

At last someone who knows the difference - and knows what they're talking about.

Can you elaborate what you mean when you say fidgety loose feeling on the D850? I've owned one since May, 2019 and never felt it was fidgety or loose. Everything has just worked for me. Thanks.

Couldn't you make a positive contribution to the world and share some of your professional experience online rather than picking stupid fights over semantics?

No way is the D850 a pro body and anyone who thinks otherwise has clearly never used a D3-D6 series camera.

You'd better call Nikon and inform them of their error...

Exactly. I've had the D3S, D4, etc, D850 is built almost as well. Similar, minus the built in battery grip. Maybe the OP was thinking of D750 body or D7XXX bodies, lol. Those are more prosumer.

Same here. My D850 has the same solid feel as my D4 did. Minus the built in battery grip. Feels like a Dx series camera without the grip.

an FX camera.

He means DSLRs

Could you elaborate on that, Bill

by the way I’m an owner on the Professional D850, but I don’t we see any more FX DSLRs from Nikon.

The Z9 looks really good from my perspective

I agree the Z9 looks really impressive based on the videos we've all seen. It's an FX camera. Nikon categorizes all their full-frame cameras - SLR or mirrorless - as FX. They'll be developing and releasing many more FX model cameras in the years to come.

Not everybody in the forum understands the distinction between FX and SLR. They're different things. It's not unlike the OP's thread title and comments asking that Nikon put the D850 sensor in a professional body. It's already in a professional body. He wanted the sensor in a flagship body having an integrated grip.
