Description:
The Nikon D850 is eleven years old but it's the best DSLR ever made and it
was the choice tool used to capture the winning image at the prestigious Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2025 contest, showing it's still a great camera today.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

I concede that DSLRs aren't exactly cutting edge cameras anymore that's a better descriptor for the best mirrorless cameras however, don't write them off. After all, it was only last month that I reported on how the Nikon D850 was the camera used to take the winning image at the prestigious Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2025 contest , beating a host of younger and fresher cameras.

Clearly, the 45MP full-frame D850 is still a powerful tool today (and in my opinion it's the greatest DSLR ever made). And there's a tempting Black
Friday deal currently available for the body only the Nikon D850 for $1,996.95 at Adorama (was $2,596.95) / Nikon D850 for 1,699 at Park Cameras (was 2,399).

That same photo contest delivered another surprise the most popular camera overall among the contest's entrants was the Canon EOS R5 a full-frame mirrorless camera released in 2020. That 45MP camera also sinks to a new low price too since it has been upgraded with the EOS R5 Mark II now available for just $2,599 at Adorama (was $3,299).

Now much cheaper than the EOS R5 Mark II (my C amera of the Year 2024 ), the original EOS R5 falls to just $2,599 that's a record-low. Sure, you're missing out on the latest computational and cutting-edge autofocus features
in the newer model, but there's a reason the original is such a popular
