Lower noise than the D500 in poor light, if you underexpose a bit and need to correct in post. Yes I was impressed with the potential detail. (The detail of the plane at 30000feet was good ) I think my major error was inadvertently using mid resolution, higher compressed jpeg rather than raw. No idea why I left the camera memory bank like that in the first place??? I am kicking myself I didn't switch to the correctly set B memory bank like I do on the D500. Very annoyed with myself. I gave all the photos to Mike and he's posted one on Facebook and had many Likes (I do hate this culture!) Apparently one of his 'Followers' (no comment) is a well known local bird photographer who said it was “one of the best he's seen taken to date'. Which was nice for Mike .....but it doesn't say a lot for the standards of some of the so called bird photographers. He would probably explode if he saw some of Jeff's photos. Anyway I've learnt a valuable lesson and am more than ever convinced to sell one of the cameras to avoid me getting muddled up again. I just need to be 100% settled with the so called limitations of the D850.

Limitations of the D850?.... All I can find is the lack of the ability to move the focus point to each and every part of the screen. What cameras do you have? Best not try to track mine but they are all set up almost identically. Currently running at 1 Canon, 11 Nikons, 8 Fujis!! Unless I have miscounted! I think I will need to buy a stable soon. ![]() ![]() Today I was playing with my Fuji XE1 that I had converted to Full Spectrum in February 2018. Havent had a chance to use it due to all the stuff that has been happening in 2018/2019. However today is 2020 and I start a new playtime. Wow. The IR output seems very good in Auto WB and if I use a Custom WB that is set for normal vision output it is pretty near spot on.

Viz The D850 has a louder shutter, the buffer is slower to clear, the FPS are less....I forget the rest. That said, I am disinclined to consider these as enough of an issue. For me the positives out way these. After all 'I am' slower than both these cameras.

Yes the video highlighted some differences but I have to say that the D850 lacking a terabuffer hasnt really bothered me. The video in the camera, never used it in any of my cameras.
