After spending $3000+ on this camera, "free tutorial" is music to my ears. Thank you, Tony.

[michaeld]

two years on, this is still my go to video for tutorial on the D850. Brilliant information and well presented.
Thank you very much.

[noobiechick]

I just purchased a D850 and quickly discovered it is not a simple upgrade from my beloved D5200. This video had me saying "wow" out loud as you described some of the features I didn't know about! Thank you so much.

[ulrichsamosii]

I have been looking for days for an answer to a sm problem I have been having with my D850 and you just gave it to me in a little over 10 minutes. THANK YOU

[billlingo]

Way back in 2014 I bought a D5300 two lens kit with a backpack, and a tripod. This is also when I learned about your YouTube channel, and bought stunning digital photography for my kindle. In 2017 I bought a D7200, flash guns, a Sigma 85mm art series lens. This hobby is getting expensive, but worth it. I have learned so much over the years from your book and videos. A few months ago I purchased a new D850. Photography is therapy, it has balance. In a left brain right brain kind of way. You two have been immeasurably helpful, turning a thing that could have been incredibly frustrating, into an immense joy. The depth of understanding you provide, for the myriad of technologies we hold in our hands, allows us to better appreciate the full value of these technical marvels. The main point of this post is to convey a heartfelt Thank You (to both of you). You both make the world a better place with your efforts. Helping countless people to be skilled story tellers. Stories that might only be composed in a viewfinder.

This guy has the most comforting voice!

It is Feb, 2022. I just purchased a used D850 today. My first Nikon DSLR. I shoot with medium format Hasselblad, but wanted a Nikon DSLR to invest in some specialty lenses not available in Hasselblad. My thanks to you for a wonderful tutorial on the D850. It is certainly a lot more complex than the Hasselblad menu, and I would have been lucky to even be able to turn on the camera, let alone set it up. I will be referring back to your tutorial for quite a while, I'm sure. Your instructions are clear, and easy to understand.
Thank you.

Just bought the D850 after a long hiatus away from pro shooting due to taking care of an ill family member.

THIS VIDEO REALLY HELPED, A SHIT-TON!

Seriously, thank you for having made this, sheesh, a few years away and I feel like my 20+ years of professional shooting went down the toilet.

But I’m definitely feeling more confident +comfortable after having watched this video.

Again, THANK YOU.

Tony Northrup has the rare gift of transmitting knowledge and valuable experiences, he does so in a clear, concise, knowledgeable and kind manner. I congratulate Tony for his talent and generosity. The world needs people like him. For me its impeccable videos have been very useful what I appreciate.

[carriecarlisle]

Return to your video time and time again. Each time I learn something new. Can't praise you enough.

[PhotographyYAY]

I previously had a Nikon D7200 and decided to take the plunge with the D850 I learnt such a lot watching this video and am most grateful. You don't talk down to people, you speak clearly and concisely. This is without being patronising or having the superior attitude that some professionals have and are reluctant to share any hints or tips. Why, we all have to learn! Thanks so much Tony, I really enjoyed your video. Now to look at which book to buy...

[jctedsap]

Best overview of how to use that I have found. Tony makes it easy to understand and seems to hit all the key features. A lot of other writers just give a review or a sales pitch. This is the best video I’ve seen from Tony.

[waynebarker]

I have had the D850 for almost two years now and still learned some things. Great tutorial! I also liked the time-stamp links you put in your comment section so I could go directly to what I was interested in.

[Starlite]

These guys just gave me a free professional quality hour+ long tutorial on my D850, same for my girlfriend for her D500 and I'm going to be trying to buy stuff through their store in return for it from now on because "Thank You" isn't enough. That said, Thank You VERY MUCH for this Tony & Chelsea.

[michaelkantor]

Hey Tony. After several years of using the D7500, I just got my D850. Thank you for taking all that time to explain the functions of the camera in your tutorial. It was a tremendous help. You and Chelsea are great. KEH treated me very well on a trade. Enjoy the holidays.

Just got my nikon d850 with a 70-200mnm lens and coming from a beginner DSLR (d3400) camera, it is very different...thank you for this video, I will be referring back to it!

[ronfiedler]

I have had my D850 about a year and this is the second time I have watched your tutorial. Great! I felt guilty and ordered one of your ebooks a while back.

[InTheMomentTravels]

You are our HERO. Used this one video to set both back button focus setting, exposure peaking, found out about setting the star ratings and added the histogram in just a few minutes. WOW!! Thank you!!

[minkymott]

You probably won't see this, but THANK YOU so much for this video. I've tried to find out how to take pictures using live view so I can take pictures from a low view so I don't have to lay down on the ground to do it. Every freakin' video I've watched, the person goes on and on and on about everything but live view photos. You got right to the point and actually covered the subject. Thanks.

[johnnaughton]

As a new D850 owner I cant tell you how much I appreciate this comprehensive tutorial!! It has helped my learning curve immensely! THANK YOU!!!! I am now a subscriber looking forward to more well put together instructional videos.
