Does anybody shoot the D850 in sraw or mraw? What a waste I know but...
If so how is the quality of the smaller raw files?
I may stretch the budget from an 810 to an 850 for the better af system and I don’t need 46mp!
I’m sure I could get used to it!

I use 12 bit uncompressed RAW if I want smaller files, I think there's more room for PP with 12 bit over mRAW?I use MRAW when doing event photography, weddings, etc.
Used it for my holiday photos in Spain last week as didn't want to be using 45mp files on my iPad either.
The MRAWs look just as good as anything that have come out of my D750.

Can I ask which type/brand of QXD card people on here prefer? It will mainly be used for landscapes, no videos.
I've been with the D810 for a couple of years now and having held on for the announcement of the FF mirrorless which I can't say has really impressed me, I'm taking the plunge and upgrading to the D850. I've tried to resist but I've now watched so many videos all telling me how good the D850 is, I want one.

Sony XQD for me, I use the G Series cards but not cheap at around £139 for a 64GB card.
There are still some Lexar cards around but their fate is up in the air at the moment following Lexar's demise and the new owners still not confirming their intentions.
Go for the cheaper Sony ones as you don't need the write speed, or lexar ones if they ever bring them out again (keep getting delayed). If you don't use backup then just shoot with SD.Can I ask which type/brand of QXD card people on here prefer? It will mainly be used for landscapes, no videos.

This is what I use, and it works with my lexar XQD tooThanks for the help and advice, really appreciated. Another question if I may, I still use the brilliant Lexar card reader for the D810 cards, is there a different type of card reader for the QXD cards or do you download from the camera?

But the D810 doesn't take XQD does it?If it worked with your D810 cards you should be fine.
Oops, no it doesn't it's CF ... how time fliesBut the D810 doesn't take XQD does it?

Thanks to all the help on here, I picked up my D850 yesterday. Now, while I'm waiting for the L-Bracket, XQD card and card reader to arrive, I got to thinking about the touch screen. On my D810 I have one of the brilliant 0.5mm glass screen covers from Larmor but with the D850 having a touch screen, I'm not sure if it can be covered or even if it needs to be covered.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
I used a usual Larmor/GGS cover on the D850 and it worked fine, I’d certainly keep the screen covered.
I always just use these, whether it be phone, camera or something else. My phone one ends up with scratches on it, but they're cheap enough to replace and much cheaper than a screenI'm still not sure how touch screen mobiles and tablets work. I have no covers on my phone or iPad but I feel my camera screen is more likely to get knocked than either of those so I'll look at the Larmor screen again.
Silent mode uses electronic first and second curtain ie no mechanical shutter. In theory images may be sharper than ‘standard’ shooting as there’s no risk of shutter shock, not that I’ve seen this with the D850.New to the D850 and I'm getting a bit confused with release modes. On the D810 I always use Live View, single shot when I'm taking landscapes, now, with the D850 I have the option for Silent Mode when in Live View. Does anyone use this at all, there's also Mup which I've never used, I'm not even sure what it does to be honest.
Ok so looking into this the only modes where you can use electronic first curtain are the Quiet modes and mirror up, but I can’t find any info as to whether this includes use during live view.Thanks for the reply Toby.
Very nice, do you live this way then?First time out with the D850, thanks for all the help and advice. I still have one or two different things to try, especially with the shutter release.
Early Morning Edensor - A cold and windy start to the morning in Edensor Village on the Chatsworth House estate in Derbyshire. The morning got better with a warm welcome from the villagers and just seeing the great buildings.

Very nice, do you live this way then?
Is this HDR/multiple exposure, the detail looks incredible?
I know the area well, I was born and raised in WingerworthThanks Toby,
I live in Darkest Derbyshire, not too far from Ashover and just outside Clay Cross. The image was just a single shot, I had been trying the Mup, and Silent Modes to see how much difference they made. This was taken using the Sl1 setting but as I didn't hear the shutter release at all, I thought it hadn't worked so I took another. It is as quiet as they claim.
That was my playground when I was very young, between the aged of about 3-7 I lived about 300 yards down the road from where the Smithy Pond now is, we then moved on to Longedge Lane. Stubbing Court Pond makes for some nice photos too . I moved away when I was 21 but moved back to Chesterfield about 9 years ago, although now on the other side of town overlooking Holmebrook Valley Park.Toby, great to hear you're from nearby. I always have to show my passport when I go into Wingerworth, such a beautiful area. One of my favourite places for a sunset is across the water looking towards the Smithy Pond pub
