[QUOTE="Vincent, post: 639413, member: 15675"] I`d like to see some D850 discussion here. Probably it is too early? For me there are 5 main criteria in cameras: 1) Resolution => the D850 does excellent 2) Reach and 3) AF => the D850 does as well as D500 (not clear on the DX mode in the visor) 4) Colour and tone accuracy => does the D850 come close to D4 to D5 preformance?? 5) High ISO performance => difficult to judge in real life with the D850, since you will have to compare a 300dpi result in a sensible print format With 2 cameras (main and spare) a D5 + D850 seems to cover most (used to be 3 to cover all: D5 + D810 + D500). However I see a wildlife photographer go for D850 (main) and - a second D850, easy to work - a D500 for a lighter solution - a D750 (even if not the newest, a valid discussion) - a Df (D5 replacement on budget) The D850 seems to have the main properties a wildlife photographer would want. - top notch AF - serious buffer and fps - ISO performance on the end result (not clear yet for me, but clearly not bad) Does it replace a D500 + D810 combination, no for me since it is 1 camera, but it can be an upgrade for the D500 and for the D810, both.
