These full-frame DSLRs once cost a fortune, but now they deliver pro results for a fraction of their launch prices

For photographers seeking a full-frame DSLR with pro-level capabilities, three recent deals offer significant savings with bundled accessories. The Nikon D850, priced at $1,996.95 at Adorama, saves $600 off its original $2,596.95 price. Included in the bundle is a 256GB Lexar memory card and Capture One Pro software, valued at $321.90. Meanwhile, the Canon EOS 5D Mark IV Bundle, now available for $1,999 at Adorama, reduces the original $2,499 price by $500, making it an attractive option for full-frame enthusiasts.

The Nikon D850, renowned for its impressive 45.7MP resolution, weather-sealed durability, and class-leading image quality, remains a standout choice for professional photographers. Despite a slight limitation in its live view autofocus compared to newer mirrorless cameras, the D850 excels in uncropped 4K video and robust performance, delivering an exceptional all-around experience at a notably lower price than its launch point around $3,296.95.

Canon's EOS 5D Mark IV, meanwhile, continues to impress professionals with its 30.4MP full-frame CMOS sensor, 61-point AF system, and Dual Pixel CMOS AF for precise live view and video focusing. Boasting a 7fps burst rate and ISO range of 100-32,000 (expandable to 102,400), this versatile DSLR is well-suited for demanding shoots.

The camera's weather-sealed magnesium alloy body further enhances its durability, while its 1.64x 4K crop and UHS-I SD slot, though somewhat outdated, do not detract from its excellent dynamic range, color depth, and reliability – particularly for stills-focused workflows.
