[QUOTE="Marcel, post: 642470, member: 3903"] Welcome aboard Quintrex. The questions you ask are a bit tricky. First, the D850 has only been out for a few weeks and I don't know how many forum members have bought it. So maybe you should ask yourself if the D850 would be a good choice for you. Could another model be better for you? Would the D500 or the D810 be better for you? Only you can answer all these questions. Most recent cameras are going to give outstanding results for the right person behind it. Camera companies rely on people's wants more than their needs to sell newer models every such and such year, but the results these cameras give is only as good as the person behind the lens. Now the lens, this is another story where people should spend more than on the camera itself. A good lens will outlast many cameras and is a better investment than the top of the line body with an average lens. It all comes down to How much money are you ready to spend. And I can assure you that you can spend too much and would not notice the difference in the end results. If you have room for 24"x36" prints and is the average size of your prints, then you need more MPs. but for general use up to 16"x20", a D600, D700, D750, D800, D810 are going to give you plenty of cropping room. Now if you want to pixel peep and read all the reviews and get really confused, it's all up to you. Otherwise, I suggest you get to a camera store (a real one where you can actually hold the camera in your own hands and shoot a few shots on your memory card) and try a few, take your memory card home and then make your choice. Anyone suggesting this or this other model is only adding to your confusion since it is not them who will be handling the camera for a few years. So be wise, get a good body and the best lenses you can afford and then just forget about getting better and better camera. A camera is like a piano. If a person keeps shopping to get the best sounding piano there is, all the shopping time is practice time lost. And a pianist that practices more (even on a weaker piano) will sound better than the one that just shops around and don't practice enough. Good luck with YOUR decision. [/QUOTE]
