Got my new 850 a few days ago. Haven't tried it all out yet but very happy with what I have.
But I have noticed a curious thing.
I upgraded from a D800 for which I had bought 3 clone batteries to try out.
I got an original Li-Ion01 battery with it and the clones served me well as backup.
When I tried a clone in the D850, the main display only shows an outline battery with no power bars, even though it was fully charged.
Can not switch the camera on, but if I turn the power button all the way, the display and buttons light up.
So the camera knows there is a battery in but is won't function.
The EN EL-15 I got with the d800 works fine but the clones are all the same.
Don't think this is accidental and the battery info was never correct in the D800, no problem, I just ordered 2 new originals, just wondering if anyone else has found this.
