The Nikon D850 excels for bird photography because of its clean high-ISO performance. Bird photographers often can't afford fast telephoto lenses, so they need high ISO to maintain shutter speeds that freeze motion. The speaker recommends three detailed videos on shooting birds with the D850.
The Nikon D850 is a powerful camera for bird photography. In fact, it's generally ranked among the best DSLRs for bird photography that have ever been made. Any camera that has come out in the past 10 years— any DSLR or mirrorless camera that's come out in the past 10 years— is probably going to be a good starting point when it comes to selecting a good bird photography camera. The biggest thing that you really want to think about when buying a camera for bird photography is the speed that you can shoot at, and part of that means buying a camera with a good high ISO. This is why I use the Nikon D850. Nikon has long been known for their great high ISO performance— that is, the Cleanness of their shots at high ISO, the color and saturation, all of those things tend to be really good on Nikon cameras when compared to competitors. The D850 is probably their top of the line when it comes to DSLRs that achieve great-looking high ISO photos. Why does that matter for wildlife and bird photography? Well, it's quite simple. Because chances are high that you're not going to be able to use a long super telephoto lens with a gigantic aperture, you are probably going to have less light coming in through something more affordable like the Sigma 150-600. Therefore, You need higher ISO to compensate for that darker image because you also are probably going to have to use a faster shutter speed either to freeze the motion of the bird or at the very least to make sure that you don't have camera shake. I've posted 3 full-length videos to YouTube all about using the Nikon D850 for bird photography. Don't miss those. Thank you so much. I'll see you next time. Bye-bye.
