I've decided I have too much stuff. I have a nikon D750, which has been my primary camera. My kids were serious athletes, so I have a D500 that I've used for sports and for macro. I still do some sports, but not nearly as much. I'm thinking of selling the 2 and just getting a D850. I've read nothing but good things about the D850. So here's my question, especially for those of you who have used the D850...would the upgrade be worthwhile. Thanks

I have a D500 and a D850. In my experience, the D500 and D850 are "twins." Controls, menus, image character, pretty much everything except CH repetition speed. And if you do find that the D850 buffer seems a little slow, you can always switch to DX format, and the smaller files will behave pretty much just like they do on the D500. My D500 with a 24-120mm f/4 lens has become my everyday camera...I use it except for night sky and wide angle work. Except for the couple of new functions that the D850 adds, and a little bit better low light performance, and all that comes from the wider sensor, there is really not much difference between the two cameras. You might try just putting your D750 up in the closet for a week or two and encourage yourself to see what all the D500 can do beyond just sports before spending the cash...
