Nikon has formally announced its latest enthusiast DSLR – the D850. Since the D850’s development was announced earlier this year, speculation (fueled by the usual leaks) has been rife about the exact specifications of the new camera, but now it’s official!

Offering 45.7MP capture at a maximum frame rate of 9 fps, with an autofocus system inherited from the D5, the D850 looks like a hugely impressive camera. When it was first announced, we put together a wish list of features based on what we’d seen introduced in the D5 and D500, with a few guesses thrown in for good measure. Now that the D850 is official, we’ve updated that original article with a breakdown of what we guessed right, and what we got wrong. Click through to see how we did – we added additional D850 features at the end of this slideshow.
