[QUOTE="ISOhappy, post: 643179, member: 44145"] Not sure what everyone here is typically shooting, but I enjoy wildlife and nature subjects. For large animals like deer, I could [I]maybe[/I] get by with just FX, but try filling the FX frame with a bird. Try getting closer to a lion or a bear. I've never heard any wildlife shooter complain about having too much reach. In general, FX cameras usually have much larger pixels than DX, but in this case, the size of the 850's photosites is nearly the same as the 500's, hence nearly the same performance. I'm still waiting for reviews to come in, but Steve Perry is planning on comparing the D850 to the D500 in his upcoming review. It should be interesting. This is from the DP Review studio scene, so take that for what it's worth, but before downsizing the 850 image, it has worse noise than the DX camera. And this is not really a fair test for the D500 because they filled the frame with the FX shot. Again, my focus is on wildlife, so in all likelihood, I wouldn't be able to fill the FX frame, so the noise on the 850 shot would be worse, since I'd have to crop it down to DX size. [ATTACH=CONFIG]270378._xfImport[/ATTACH] I know, my views are a bit skewed since I'm only looking at this camera from a wildlife shooter's perspective. I agree, as an all-arounder, it should be pretty good. [/QUOTE]
