What are the pros and cons of the Nikon D850 for video according to Scott Kivowitz?

Hi there! I’m Scott Kivowitz.

Based on my own experience using the Nikon D850 for video (and switching from the Panasonic GH5), here are the main pros and cons I’ve talked about:

Pros

• Fantastic image quality and dynamic range
• Great for hybrid shooters who want strong stills and solid video in one body
• Lots of potential for my style of YouTube and vlog content

Cons

• The audio preamp isn’t as good as the Panasonic GH5, so getting clean audio with mics like the RØDE VideoMic Pro takes more tweaking
• It is not as video‑centric as cameras like the GH5 (no flip screen, not as many video‑focused conveniences)

Is there a specific type of video work you’re considering the D850 for (vlogging, client work, B‑roll, etc.)?
