I also still have my 80-400 AF-S lens and the D500 have no thoughts of getting rid of either. Two bodies are still needed for my bird photography and ASAP will do the test but at present am very busy with orders for my latest DVD.

I have the 200-500 so can test that on D850 and try to get similar shots with the D500. I have the Sigma 80-400 which the Nikon equivalent should best easily. I tend to use the 70-300 AFS VR and 200-500 AFS VR which gives me best coverage.

FYI: I use the 70-300 on FX, and the 200-500 on the DX. This gives an FX equivalent range of 70-750.

No problems with D850 so far this is a simple studio pix for E-Bay selling one of my old camcorders. So studio flash low ISO and F16 with my very sharp 24-70mm AF-S. Shame with jpg here you can not see the quality but no noise at all even at 300%

This is 200% detail of above pix. High ISO with this camera also very good and 3200 ISO is very good and well up to the D500 perhaps bit better but with tiny bit more colour noise easy to cope with.

Even with jpeging they look very good. Where are you with your thinking on the use of the D500 versus cropping the D850?

I am still thinking of a limited, single camera, return to Nikon but the main decision is D500 or D850 ....and crop back the 1.4x factor.

Now my main interest is bird photography and the D500 is great for that and I have had some super results with fast tracking focus and very good noise levels up to 3200 ISO.
So far weather has not been good to give the D850 a run at serious bird photography. As I have no need to sell the D500 I shall take my time. I think the D850 will outpreform nearly any camera including D500 I have ever had.
As you know big problem with bird photography is they tend to be small and not too keen on you getting close enough to get good pix. So high def camera that also gives good focus and works well with high ISO must be good news.
All reviews so far have been very good but I need to use it a good bit longer on the right subjects.
I notice JK, like me, also bit cautious with comments too soon?

Been waiting to test under the new LR 6.13
This is only just available and I have it now so I need to retest my processed images and take a look and comment.

JK, At risk of taking this off topic, with a 'new' version of Adobe Lightroom, given that Lightroom doesn't actually touch the original image, it simply applies a set of instructions each time it presents the image for viewing or printing etc., with the new version does that make any difference from the same image presented with a previous version of Lightroom? If that makes sense?

If the Lightroom 'rendering engine' has been improved will that present a better (Brighter, sharper, clearer?) image than a previous version of Lightroom with an older version of the rendering engine?

What if you wanted a dark, dreamy soft, indistinct image... o.O

:hardhat:

Yes the version can make a difference. There are currently two rendering engines in LR.

If you want a difference then output before it is rerendered.
Dont forget that there are also image versions!
