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.

 I tend to shoot either Fuji or Nikon never both.

I intend to pair the D850 with D800 and the D500 with a D300S.
I always work with two cameras.

These days I work on the principle that if I can't get the shot with the (one) camera in my hand...I'm in the wrong place.:lol: :lol:

 Has anyone found the PDF brochure of the D850?

Nikon normally posts this when a new camera specification is released?

 OK. I found it.
It is not on the UK site but is here on the Nikon Canada site.

 Thanks for digging the brochure out JK, a very interesting read. It seems there is a lot of substance in this camera, way beyond the headline 45Mp resolution, which in itself doesn't interest me. In fact it puts me off, due to the issues which come with ultra high resolution. Lens demands, file sizes and demands on technique not being the least.

If I had the funds this might even interest me seriously.

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