The Nikon D850 and the Nikon Z6 II are both great cameras, but they’re designed for relatively different audiences. The D850 is an older, more professional DSLR, while the Z6 II is a mirrorless camera that was made more than three years later. Having used both cameras extensively, I wanted to compare them today and help recommend the right one for your needs.

To match the typical standards today, 15mm were added to the Z7 II’s depth measurement in this table.

Even though the Nikon Z6 II has more “wins” in its column, the overall winner of this comparison isn’t very straightforward – it really depends on what type of photography you do.

The Nikon D850 is still clearly ahead in pure image quality, thanks to the higher-resolution 45 megapixel sensor and lower base ISO of 64. (That said, at higher ISOs, the performance definitely equalizes – and starting around ISO 12,800, the Z6 has better image quality of the two.) I would also put the Nikon D850 ahead in terms of autofocus system. I know that the Z6 II has more total autofocus points, but there’s more to an AF system than the number of points.

That said, the Nikon Z6 II has plenty of things going for it as well. It definitely has better features for videography, including the ability to film raw video with an external recorder, so long as you send the camera off to Nikon for an optional $200 firmware upgrade. The in-body image stabilization system on the Z6 II also makes it a better camera for shooting handheld with non-stabilized lenses – and of course, it’s a smaller, lighter, less expensive camera in the first place.

Although the Nikon D850 is the more advanced camera, it would not be my choice for everything. The Nikon Z6 II is a better choice for lightweight travel photography, street photography, and videography.

Meanwhile, I would definitely choose the Nikon D850 as a landscape photographer, where its 45 megapixel sensor shines. The D850 would also be my choice for sports and wildlife photography because of its better ability to track fast-moving action, even though the Nikon Z6 can shoot at a higher FPS rate. Finally, the Nikon D850’s heavy-duty build quality is more reassuring if you’re a professional photographer whose gear gets beat up over time.

What does the Nikon D850 offer over the Nikon Z6 II?

1.87 times more megapixels (45.7MP vs 24.5MP) and base ISO 64 for stunning image quality Better battery life when using the viewfinder, with approximately 1500 more shots according to CIPA measurements Excellent autofocus system for tracking moving subjects across the frame

What does the Nikon Z6 II offer over the Nikon D850?

Lighter weight (300g lighter or about 1.4 times lighter) In-body image stabilization, allowing for easier handheld photography even with non-stabilized lenses Much lower price, costing $1000 less—you could get a second camera!
