[QUOTE="sutherland, post: 682880, member: 45360"] If you are shooting airshows, I would strongly consider the D500 (Crop factor, increased FPS, and improved AF ). Assuming you wish to stay Fullframe, I would agree with Don. 750 or 850. 850 will give you a better Crop Mode (more so than the 750 and 8xx), shares the same AF system as the D5/500, and has faster FPS than any offering in the 7xx and 8xx lineup. Stills is mostly a toss-up. If you are into 'nit-picking' and your 'typical' shooting scenarios can benefit, the D850 has higher Color Depth, higher Dynamic Range, and better low-light performance than the D750 and D8xx. For my needs, the D750 is incredible and I am not tempted by the D850 (regardless of the improvements) as I have a dedicated Sports/Action/Wildlife system in the D500.
