[QUOTE="Woodyg3, post: 638844, member: 24569"] It has been fun to see people's reaction to the D850. Nikon seems to have done quite well here. I understand the excitement about the D850, it has a lot of great features and is a real upgrade in multiple respects. I think there is one big drawback, to me anyway, with using the D850 for wildlife over the D500. The bigger the subject is in the viewfinder, the easier it is to get in focus. That's a big advantage to the D500 with its DX sensor. It looks like you can now crop a D850 file and get about the same quality as a D500 at full size. That wouldn't matter to me if It is harder to get the focus spot in the right place. I feel just fine shooting my D500. Great, in fact. It is certainly the best camera I have ever owned. If I won the lottery? Sure, I'd grab a D850 in an instant. But I feel far from handicapped when using either my D500 or D7200/7100 for people, macro, landscapes, or anything else. :) [/QUOTE]
