[QUOTE="spb_stan, post: 683931, member: 43545"] The D500 sensor is pretty close to the theoretical limit for DX for the Dynamic range so it is going to be either more noise reduction in raw done in the image processor or tolerate more noise with smaller pixel sizes to have higher resolution. If you are shooting in good light and not constrained by shadow noise, then smaller pixels and more of them would allow more cropping and still have manageable noise. This is the dilemma all BIF and WF shooters face...how to get closer or which kidney to sell for long big glass. Getting closer is the ideal solution but that is not always possible because of terrain, field craft or safety. The goal is to get the subject covered by the maximum number of pixels defining the subject. What are you shooting and how close can you get? How much of the frame can you fill with your subject now? With noise to pixel, density ratios are pretty good now on the D500 so the camera is where the least improvement can be gained. Getting closer is the real challenge that often requires knowing the subject behavior, feeding habits, habitat, and range so well that you can be in the right place at the right time. Using a 300mm 2.8 instead of a 600 f/4 will save a ton of money by getting closer will also usually yield more interesting shots. [/QUOTE]
