D850 First Impressions Wedding Photographer

JERRY GIONIS, WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER
FIRST IMPRESSIONS of D850 I'm Jerry Gionis, a wedding
portrait, fashion photographer from Melbourne, Australia
and Las Vegas, USA. I had an incredible time
putting the D850 through its paces in a realistic wedding environment. Guys, this is the one
you've been waiting for. Perfect combination
of high resolution, the ability to change
the size of the RAW file.

The touch-screen. You can pinch out,
pinch in, double tap. Solid shutter mode. Triple the focus point
than its predecessor.

The D850 has almost
10 more megapixels and we've gone
from 15 to 99 more cross sensors. There you go.
We've got an auto-F. Beautiful. The crazy thing is, I'm doing these shots
that are wide, full length.

Multiple people in these shots,
and I'm zooming up and I can't think
I can go any further, and I'm seeing detail everywhere. I can count the eyelashes
on someone's eye. It's incredible. That kind of detail is unheard of
in this kind of a small body type.

Now, when I started
shooting with it, I understood that all those
features that I've used before are already there.
Then I found out there was a touch-screen
that could silently shoot. Now how many of us
wedding photographers go into a church,
and want to photograph silently and not be noticed? Flipping out the screen, lifting the camera
right up above my head, getting a different perspective,
and simply touching on a face, it will not only focus
but take the photograph silently. The minute you look
at one of these files on the back of the camera,
and you zoom up to it, and you see the effortless,
beautiful detail that you'll see, you'll start thinking about
all the things you could do that you didn't even consider,
when you didn't have the right gear. It's the artist, it's not the tool.

But when an artist uses
an incredible tool to complete their vision,
that's a marriage made in heaven. I AM THE NEW BEGINNING..
