I would agree the AF unit is top notch as good or better than my D3S.

Nothing wrong with that Graham, love the texture in the full image. The lighting helps a lot. Captured the essence as well as the image...

Finding some moire in my images with the D850 of certain materials. Not unexpected I guess with such a high pixel density.

Detail is phenomenal. I need to do more tests with it in 45/24/12MP mode and see how the same image is tendered at the different resolutions.

Sadly a lot of the fine detail is lost posting it here. The fine detail in the white tips is amazing in full evening sunlight. I just used a tiny bit of unsharp mask (no other Photoshop work) and the shot was taken with matrix metering but -0.7 to correct for the dark background causing slight over exposure on the first pix taken at 0.

All the rest can go except for my IR converted Nikons and the D300/D300S that I use underwater.

It will be interesting to see if the D500 IQ is as good as or better than a cropped D850.

It is going to be difficult to do a meaningful comparison as D500 =20MP versus D850 =45MP. And then the crop on the D500.
I have never believed in magic bullets but in having all the right tools which means everything doesnt look like a hammer!

Fair point ...but I equally believe the more choice you have, the more difficult it is to choose. It was so much easier in the D1X days. You made 6mp work for everything.
:lol:

I would also add that not everyone, especially Yorkshiremen, are prepared to lay up cash in multiple bodies for every eventuality ...if one could cover all your needs.
:thumbs:

I may be searching for the holy grail but if the D850 has got improved high ISO performance over the D810 and can deliver fine detail at the rate of a D500, I would say it's very close.

It may not be as big an issue when toggling between Nikon bodies but I certainly felt hampered toggling between Fuji and Nikon...even though the subjects and situations of their use were different.

I still feel the Fuji is a great camera but mirrorless is a compromise in functionalit that doesn't allow me to get close to 'one hammer fits all'.

Maybe I am a lazy photographer. But I just want to pick up one camera, with which I am fully familiar and comfortable, and take the photograph...only varying settings and lenses, to suit the subject.

o.O

You sound like me when I tried the Fuji system, outcome for me was back to all Nikon.

Me too

Liking my D850 a lot but there are still occasions where the Fujis win.
