"The Nikon D850 is a full-frame DSLR camera with a first-ever
back-illuminated image sensor for vast image quality improvement.
The sensor was the first to achieve 100 points on DXO."

All very nice, but as a hobbyist, amateur photographer, is this a
camera I must have?

I don’t believe so.

Of course not, nor is anyone saying it is. You must have the D500 Just
kidding, just must have whatever camera feels best for you. I just think the
D850 is a pretty big deal and an interesting product in the supposedly
"dying" DSLR market.

Yup! I agree with all that, there is no denying the quality, and capability
of both the D500, and the D850. If Nikon had released the D500 as a D300S
successor two years earlier than they did, I might well be using one today
rather than making my move to the Fujifilm X-Camera system. I am quite happy
with my X-T2.
