Yesterday I thought I had made my choice ,but last night the lad and my Mrs told me not to be rash and the outcome is I will go to Chester today to handle some Nikon's before I decide what to buy ,there's no real rush as I have the wife's camera and lens to use for now

The 850 has the deeper grip first introduced with the D750....which I reallly like. Haven't felt a D500 yet but suspect it is more traditional grip size.  Then again...when it's mounted on a support with a big lens the grip is academic

My mistake. Not used to such rapid posting, we don't usually get this many posts in a month! LOL

Well I am mostly Nikon centric but I have a Fuji a setup as well. I have used Canon stuff but I find the user interface less good than the Nikon. I dont think there are any bad cameras just ones that suit you better.

it was the spec report that did it in the end Jonathon ,they were virtually identical in most respects ,a little bit of give and take but not enough to justify losing a lot of dosh . also my rig at the moment gives me 600mm at f6.3 the Nikon would be 500mm a t f5.6 ,and my sigma lens takes the 1.4 sigma t.c giving 840mm native at f9 and is virtually no different to the base lens . the one real benefit is my original 80d cost me over a grand and was on the drip this ones got a 3 year u.k warranty is under £700 and bought for cash .no brainer really

Since I am heavily invested in Nikon glass it is an easy choice for me. BTW if anyone wants a Nikon 400mm f2.8 AFS (without VR) then I'm open to offers. My Nikon 200-500 AFS VR is fine for everything I do these days.

Good to see you back, I thought it was pending when I saw your post on another forum. I've just been looking at the D7500 in Jessops at the weekend and the grip is quite good and fits in the hand well. I would go in somewhere and try it. The only thing that puts me off is the one card slot.
