[QUOTE="ISOhappy, post: 642541, member: 44145"] Point taken, and my opinion about the D850 being overhyped is just that, an opinion. Is it the most well-rounded camera ever? Sure, probably in Nikon's lineup, but the OP asked is it the best wildlife camera ever. Personally, I don't think so. Then again, that statement is so subjective, there's really not a way to prove it anyway. It's definitely not the best wildlife camera ever for me. For some people? Sure, it may very well be. Most of my wildlife/nature shooting is done locally, and I don't live anywhere exotic, so it's usually parks and forests, and the zoo, of course. I tried using an FX camera only and found that I missed the "reach" from DX. Now, I have the D500 for use with long lenses, and I have an FX camera for everything else. When I can fill the FX frame, I am totally happy with the quality, even though it's "only" 24 MP. I am also looking forward to more reviews that compare the D850 to other comparable cameras. Everyone's got to make their own decisions based on their own needs :D [/QUOTE]
