It does have an issue that I want to make everyone aware of.
First, this camera has a steep learning curve. I bought a book to help me climb the curve a little faster. There are many controls within the camera settings as defined by the software.
Second, I've had an issue with the mirror getting stuck in the up position twice. The first time I took it to the dealer and it was repaired in about 15 minutes. The second time I looked through several blogs and found a fix that took about a minute. From what I can tell this is a known issue for newer Nikon DSLR's. If you find yourself in this situation try this fix (worked for me, hope it works for you);
-Remove the lens
-Look on the left front side of the shutter box and see a small black flat lever sticking out about an eighth of an inch (its spring loaded)
-Using your finger gently push this lever down until it stays depressed in the down position
-Check for crud on the mirror
-Reinstall the lens
-Turn the camera on
-Depress the shutter button one time
Sensor.
The D850 functions far beyond expectations in many shooting environments. The combination of available high ISO settings and high resolution sensor allow you to take great pictures in low light that many cameras cannot even contemplate. The high resolution sensor permits extreme cropping and or large prints without pixilation.
Weight.
It's weight does not lend itself to convenient use while traveling, however, for me, the picture quality makes it worth lugging around. The camera body itself weighs about 2.2 pounds. Adding the battery grip runs it up to about 3 1/2 pounds. With my Sigma 24 to 70 zoom the wait goes up to 5 1/2 pounds. That's a lot to be lugging around your neck but it depends on how bad you want good pictures. The D850 to the Z9; the Z9 weighs .8 lb more.
Battery life.
The D850 will take approximately 1800 shots on one internal battery. Mirrorless cameras run about 1/3 of that at best. I would really like to go mirrorless but the tech hasn't developed enough to compete with the D850 battery life. Plus I just don't like carrying around a pocket full of batteries to feed my camera. While on this subject I wanna comment on batteries as they relate to the mirror hanging issue. Some owners believe the mirror hang issue is related to battery type, condition, temperature or aftermarket status. I did not find this true in my situation.
Knowing what I do would I buy it again, yes.

Just the feeling, holding it my hands, the size and ergonomy is perfect.

An electronic viewfinder (EVF) with a higher resolution provides a sharper image, producing a view comparable in quality with the one displayed on an optical viewfinder.
The focus motor moves the lens in order to autofocus. For system cameras, having a focus motor in the camera's body allows you to use a wide range of lenses, including lenses which do not have their own focus motor. For compact cameras, a focus motor is usually built-in.
With 100% coverage, you can compose the image correctly when you capture the photo. With less than full coverage, you may have to crop your photos afterward to get them looking perfect.
One of the most important aspects of a camera is the size of its sensor. A larger sensor will capture more light, which results in improved low-light performance, dynamic range, and general image quality.
The more focus points the more flexibility in picking which part of the scene to focus on. They also give the image sensor a better probability in identifying the right area of the scene to focus on in more automatic modes.
The number of megapixels determines the resolution of the images captured with the main camera. A higher megapixel count means that the camera is capable of capturing more details. However, the megapixel count is not the only important element determining the quality of an image.

With a higher light sensitivity (ISO level), the sensor absorbs more light. This can be used to capture moving objects using a fast shutter speed, or to take images in low light without using a flash.
Expanded ISO allows you to go beyond the native ISO. It does this by digitally enhancing the image output. The resulting image will have less quality than when staying within the native ISO range, but it can be useful in certain situations.
With sensor shift, the image sensor (rather than the lens) moves to counterbalance any vibration of the camera. This means the image will be stabilised regardless of what lens is being used.
With AF tracking, once you choose the subject and press the shutter release part way down, as the subject moves, the autofocus will follow it. No more out of focus shots.
The maximum resolution available for videos shot with the main camera. Although it may be possible to choose among other frame rates, those recordings usually have lower resolutions.
A phase-detection autofocus system is faster than a contrast detection autofocus system. Even when recording scenes with a lot of fast movements, the videos are sharp and clear.
A timelapse shows a long passage of time sped up. A series of photographs taken from the same position over a long period is joined together to create a short video. It is great way to capture things like the setting sun, or clouds moving across the sky.
Battery power, or battery capacity, represents the amount of electrical energy that a battery can store. More battery power can be an indication of longer battery life.
It has two memory card slots, allowing you to store more photos without switching cards. This is particularly useful on long shoots when you need more space.
The camera can take a series of shots, shifting the sensor slightly with each one. These can then be combined to create an extremely high-resolution image. It’s particularly useful for things like photographing artwork.
A raw image file contains minimally processed data from the image sensor. Raw files are so named because they are not yet processed and therefore are not ready to be printed or edited with a bitmap graphics editor.
It is capable of shooting stills in a lossless compressed raw format. This has all the advantages of shooting raw, while taking up much less storage space. The smaller file size also allows quicker read/write speeds.
Wi-Fi 4 (802.11n) is a wireless standard released in 2009. It has faster transfer rates and improved security compared to its predecessors – a, b, and g.
802.11ac wireless works on the 5GHz frequency range. It offers higher transfer rates, improved reliability, and improved power consumption. It provides advantages for gaming and HD video streaming.
