Nikon announced that two of its latest products, the Nikon D850 and the AF-S NIKKOR 180-400mm f/4E TC1.4 FL ED VR super-telephoto lens, are recipients of the award of EISA Professional DSLR Camera 2018-2019 and the EISA Professional Lens 2018-2019 respectively.
Nikon D850
The D850 (released in September 2017) is a full-frame, Nikon FX-format, multi-functional digital SLR camera that greatly expands photographers’ range of expression by combining an extremely high effective pixel count of 45.7 megapixels with high-speed continuous shooting at up to approximately 7 fps1 with the camera body alone, and up to 9 fps1,2 when the optional MB-D18 Multi-Power Battery Pack is employed. The D850 is capable of recording full-frame 4K UHD (3840×2160)/30p movies using the FX-based movie format, and also features an interval timer shooting function that is effective in the creation of 8K time-lapse movies3. The D850 has been extremely well received around the world for its superior image quality and high-speed performance, its ergonomic, power-saving, and advanced dust- and drip-resistant design, and its cutting-edge functions such as silent photography.
AF-S NIKKOR 180-400mm f/4E TC1.4 FL ED VR
The AF-S NIKKOR 180-400mm f/4E TC1.4 FL ED VR (released in March 2018) is a super-telephoto zoom lens compatible with the Nikon FX format that covers the 180-400 mm range of focal lengths. It is the first NIKKOR lens for SLR cameras to have a built-in 1.4× teleconverter, enabling the extension of the maximum focal length to 560 mm. Easy operation is made possible with the teleconverter switch, which allows for the smooth control of the built-in teleconverter. The lens is constructed with the latest optical design that includes one fluorite lens element and eight ED glass elements for extremely sharp and detailed rendering that is compatible with high-pixel-count digital cameras beginning at maximum aperture. In addition, the use of Nano Crystal Coat and other anti-reflective coatings effectively suppresses ghost and flare for extremely clear images.
