I have just done turn on test with D850 and 500mm PF and see no problem for me. Hand holding with a 500mm lens takes more than a split second. I have never felt tat this is a problem with any of the DSLRs for several years now. I also set up my cameras to Sensor Clean at start and shutdown this must make a bit more extra time to do? (Thank goodness for this I can not tell you how long it is since I cleaned a sensor must be D2X days.) Mind you I am 80yrs old today so perhaps am a bit slow now who cares!

Graham, I used to have clean at start and shutdown then I analysed when it was most likely that I needed to clean and it seemed to me that Clean at Shutdown only. My thought for that change to Shutdown only is that any dust will most likely enter during use and lens changes, so clean at shutdown seems best. Just my thought on the process. Also I dont know how much battery power is used on cleaning the sensor.

My method with a camera is simple, switch it on when I get where I am going and leave it on until I leave, read get out of the car and get back in the car. Many happy returns Graham.

I was going to suggest we all chipped in and bought you a Z camera...but as you don't like them, it's just as well we didn't.  Best wishes I hope I am still around and 'firing' even half as well at 80.

Delayed Happy Birthday Graham. When I go out I turn the camera on and only turn it off if I put it in the boot for traveling so never have any delay issues. I am tempted with the D780 to replace my D750 but like you Eric the price need to come down quite a bit first.

Happy birthday Graham. May your ability to hold a 500mm continue for many years.

Last night sat with the patio door open enjoying the cool evening breeze.....and a frog hopped in 🸠 Jan and I spent several minutes chasing it around the lounge ....under units 🸠, behind speakers 🸠and amongst cables 🸠, curtains 🸠and scattered paraphernalia 🸠...we were ALL exhausted. Of course the camera was in the bag„. I do wonder if a video of the wife corralling the critter would have been worth doing. But suspect I would have been less popular for not helping. Released it in the flower border....then remembered that's where the hedgehogs gather😱. Let's hope it had enough energy left to evade them too.
