Hindsight is wonderful, but in 2017 I rejected the Nikon D850 because it wasn't 50MP – that was a MASSIVE mistake, but now it's just $1,996.95!

I feel my photographic journey has come full circle as I have gotten older, and I am possibly a little wiser! I used to chase megapixels, but now I chase pictures instead. Unfortunately, in my younger days, all I wanted was resolution to offer clients the best possible images during my professional sports photography career.

That mindset made me forgo possibly the best DSLR ever made – the Nikon D850, DCW's most loved camera, just because it wasn't 50 megapixels at the time and that was a MASSIVE mistake on my part - but it's now time for redemption as this incredible camera has $400 off at Adorama, making it just $1,996.95 - its lowest price I've ever seen!

The Nikon D850 is a stark contrast to what I shoot with now—my main camera is an 18MP Leica M-E. Yep, just 18 megapixels. But back then, the D850 would have been the perfect camera for me, and it's always been on my "to-buy" list if the right deal came along. Well, it doesn’t get much better than brand new with $400 off at its LOWEST EVER price!

Do I need 45MP in my workflow today? Not really. But if you're considering the D850 or any DSLR, let this be a reminder: don't get too caught up in specs or resolution. Take it out into the real world and see how it works for you. That’s what I should have done with the D850 years ago—and what I’ve done with every camera since.
