From DPReview conclusion:

With expansive resolution, a capable autofocus system, fast burst shooting and great image quality under almost any situation, the D850 is the best DSLR on the market today, and among the best all-around stills cameras we’ve ever tested. Live view autofocus and video modes could still use some work, but the camera’s capabilities handily outshine those deficiencies. Read the full review at DPReview.
