[QUOTE="AndyZ, post: 652102, member: 44243"] I've read this twice now on this thread. I'm sorry, but it's apples and oranges. The A9 is a full-sensor, mirrorless camera with an electronic viewfinder. The D500 is a high speed, crop sensor DSLR. High speed does not ONLY mean FPS (the sony gives you around 15 fps vs 10 on the d500). It also needs the high speed predictive autofocus to go with it. The sony is $2500 more than the Nikon and it has nowhere near the quality or diversity of lenses available. They are two great tools for different jobs. The D500 is your go-to camera for everything high speed: sports, wildlife. The A9 is a professional camera for those needing a full sensor in a small package. I would never use a mirrorless camera in low temperatures (unless it is a Leica M) because of the very significant lag in the electronic viewfinder. Try shooting a football game in Boston this weekend with anything other than a DSLR!!! (BTW thermometer says -17 this morning!!!). So. If you have a ton of high quality Nikon glass and need a high speed camera the D500 is the best ever. If you are starting from scratch (or have a bunch of mediocre third party Nikon mount lenses), don't do much high speed photography, or care more about weight than AF performance, then the A9 is a great camera. In fact, the A7 in one of its different flavors is probably an even better comparable at around $2500 or $2000 slightly used. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
