Watch Mark Smith's wildlife photography with the D500 and the D850 using the Nikon 200-500mm f5.6 II and the Tamron 70-200mm f 2.8 g2. The 21 megapixels and cropped fast focus sensor on the D500 has perfect focus from edge to edge and the crop factor of 1.5 on the 500mm equals 750mm. Plus plenty of megapixels to edit and crop in post. I attached an example of my D500 at 800/sec f8 iOS 200 380mm of 200-500mm f 5.6 lens. Same with the 2nd shot of pelican landing.

I had no interest in the D8xx series, but I love the D750.

I've had both the 750 and the 850. I "grew up" Nikon all of the same ilk -70s, 300, 3, 200, 810. The controls of the 750 are markedly different than those of the cameras I "grew up" with and I never got used to the 750's controls so I sold it. Don't know that my experience would have any bearing on your experience and desire, but...I do like the 850 as, for me, it gives me a lot more in-camera control; I shoot jpg - long story here that I'm not going to get into any deeper.

You may have seen this comparison chart but just in case here is a link. I use D850's and love the camera and features. However I do use them to make money so I justified the purchase. If you just use the camera for vacations, general photography you may want to save yourself some money. I do miss having the same card slots like were on my D3 and D3x. Didn't have to worry about different cards in my inventory. And the XQD cards are not cheap.

Just a slight correction. Yes, you can get 9 frames a second provided you buy the EN-EL18c battery kit for the D850, which will only cost you $946.80.

If you are considering this purchase, you should first read Mike Johnston's recent blog posts.

Remember that whichever camera you buy, it will be obsolete within a year. Now would be a good time to bring this quest to a halt to avoid bankruptcy. Master the ability to separate wants and needs.

On the subject of lenses, read Johnston's blog post of yesterday, where he debunks the "best possible lenses required" myth.

Can you post a link?
There is a Mike Johnston who is a drummer and another who is a candidate for governor of Colorado.

I haven’t. I always shoot raw but my computer doesn’t have a problem with them. The only time I really think about the size is when I go to export a jpg. Definitely have to downsize then.

No one has spoken up for the 750... I've owned one for a couple of years now and love it. It's a reliable, versatile camera and has everything I need and more. For me it was about the economy so the 750 was my choice and I'm not sorry. However, good luck with the 850, seems to be an excellent choice also.

I went through the same debate about 3 months ago. I ended up going with the D750 and spending the extra money on lenses, Lee filters, wireless remotes, new camera bag, tripod, and accessories. I love the D750 so far and don't have any complaints at all. Eventually I will probably get the D850, but I'd still keep the D750 as a backup. It's too good of a camera to get replace entirely.

Match the camera to your photography. I bought the 750 four years ago and still enjoy shooting with it. I appreciate its lighter weight and smaller size when compared to the 850, the programmable memories, the flip screen and even that I can get BBF. I can crop extensively if needed and still get good quality images. I print to 13x19 on my Epson printer and the results are excellent. While the 850 is likely to become legendary, the 750 is a fine camera in its own right. You can't make a mistake choosing either one. Let us know which way you go./

Thank you for the comment. So are you saying you can’t get BBF with the D850?

You cannot compare the D850 and the D750. The D850 is simply boss.

As I've said before, I can't imagine very many people need a camera with the power of the 850, unless they do exhibit sized images or are pros--come to think of it I've had a number of museum exhibits of my work using cameras that don't even approach the level of a D850 --and who cares? --Nobody!!

Get the 850, you will not be disappointed.

BBF works equally well with D750 and D850.
