[QUOTE="TL Robinson, post: 638829, member: 24042"] Per his response to my post - he says he's talking about low light in specific terms with regards to shooting wildlife. I still disagree - speed wise, sure, no it's not the greatest in terms of FPS nor does it surpass the D5 in anyway. That being said - focus acquisition in low light situations (not just concert photography but if I can lock in at venue I can do it on an animal) is spot on and high iso image quality is, as is well documented, better than almost every Nikon camera out there except the D5. I don't shoot a lot of wildlife and would never use my D750 for that (except that one time in Africa when I was surprised with an unexpected safari) - that's why I have a D500. But I won't use my D500 in venues anymore because IQ at 3200 and above compared to the D750 is good, but not better than. Even the D750 in crop mode is better than the D500 wrt low light shooting... Low light is low light regardless of wildlife or concert settings....he stated "...neither performs well with fast moving subjects [B]OR[/B] low light..." not [B]and[/B]. Had he said "[B]and[/B]" I would marginally agree with that statement, and that's where the D850 will beat it out...speed, but I'm still not seeing, either in real world samples, or in lab testing, anything that says image quality at high iso's is better than the D750 (and only marginally better than the D810). Not saying it's not a great camera, it most certainly is, but I'm far less excited about it than I was when it was announced... [/QUOTE]
