If the OP actually has both cameras, the D500 and the D850, there's plenty of opportunity to compare and test the ideas of how to make the smaller MP sensor 'look' like the larger. My opinion is you can't upscale one image and get it to look 'comparable' to the other, that is acceptably comparable. But, the OP has the tools to make that comparison personally, assuming the software is available too.
Mentioned it on page 2.

The OP asked about upscaling a few responded to the question.
The majority of the posts gave examples of cameras with hi res.
Why???????

Should every thread be a physics lecture? If so, then this forum would die quickly.
Some recommended software to try. Some shared their experiences with cameras they own. The OP did not initially mention already owning a D850. I suggested if one looks in that direction, a newer camera might be a better choice. Then you throw in a joke or two. This is how people interact with each other on this site. It makes the site more interesting. Some threads do deteriorate into stupidity. You have to take the bad with the good, and there is a lot of good here.

Look we are not in disagreement -
However only "IF" as you said: "The Z cameras run circles around the D850 in terms of speed and features, so why spend money on the old camera? Why not move into the present if you're going to buy a new camera?
ONLY - If those features are important -- And for the most part they are not important to me --
However, this fellow may see them as critical features
If not---
Then purchase a truly great camera for far less

I own a Nikon D850. I'm not going to upgrade, or at least I think I'm not going to upgrade. I need compatibility with a stable of older lenses. I can't see spending what it would cost to buy an entire new system at my age on retirement income. If I were younger and looking to buy a new camera, it would definitely be mirrorless. I might even look at options other than Nikon.

The D850 is a fine 2017 camera. The IQ is unsurpassed, essentially the same as their newer 45 megapixel mirrorless cameras, of which you can chose from three, Z7 ii, Z8 and Z9. The Z cameras run circles around the D850 in terms of speed and features, so why spend money on the old camera? Why not move into the present if you're going to buy a new camera?
The only advantage I see in the older camera is that it will autofocus with the very old screw drive lenses, some of which are actually decent. If you don't own or plan to use any of those, there is no advantage except perhaps price. If you find that you have to buy some full frame lenses to go along with a full frame camera, then the Z lenses are the best that Nikon has to offer, and you really need the best you can afford with a camera that has a high pixel count. Think about how far you would want to take this.

Following your template, attached below is a miserable photo, taken in rather unfavorable conditions of something rarely seen. I wasnt looking for compliments on the photo itself, but the rarity of the subject. How often does one get to see a Korg GT-3 Guitar Tuner ?
Really miserable. Stick to cats and birds. Say, what's that on your pants? Did you know that you can clean it up in Photoshop?

Some people just have to get in the last word. When they see something they disagree with, they have to disagree. Then the author of what they disagree with has to disagree, and it goes back and forth forever. It's pretty ridiculous. People somehow think that they can change someone's mind on something with what they would call reason. It doesn't always work that way. Many people end up repeatedly trying to change the minds of those who disagree with them. I've known people in real life who can't accept any opinions other than their own, and others eventually avoid them if they can.

I've used this for a long time. It's a Chrome extension. It obviously only works on a computer. You can also download videos from YouTube and watch them offline. You don't get the commercials when you do this. I do this a lot if I want to save them. I use third party software (VideoProc Converter AI), which isn't free. I believe there are free options.
If you're watching on a TV, I can't help you.

Here’s an idea for you all. When you want to post a photo to UHH, in the Gallery or somewhere else, how about explaining why you like it and why you think it’s worth showing. If we all understood that, we would probably view your photos in a different light.

I see a lot of photos where the implication is "You might enjoy visiting here someday."

Here is something that no one has brought up. Has anyone else noticed that the people who are posting their snapshots and the people replying with praise are the same people over and over? They all address each other by their first names. What we have here is a social group. They don't want criticism. They want to be friends. If you don't want to "put up with" this, then move on. There is nothing in the rules against this. Different strokes for different folks. I would suggest leaving them alone. Maybe it adds meaning to their lives in their old age.

Google Lens can be your friend. It doesn't nail it 100% of the time, but it's quite good. Download if you have trouble reading the results. I sometimes use this to identify plants and antiques as well.

You never know where your enemies will be lurking!
Reading the headlines - from anywhere - makes me wish there were an alternate universe I could move to.

Members of Congress (Federal) can keep firearms in their offices, but they can't carry them into hearing rooms or into the floor of Congress.

What about this? Might work with the drive in your camcorder. Get the data off. Throw it away. (You don't really want to bother with changing the touch screen, do you?) Edit. I see the platform mentioned MAC. I'm not sure why that would be true. I'm adding another link at the end, but the newest supported OS is Windows 7. Again, not sure why that would be true. Well, something like this is bound to work.

Toshiba? I'm still thinking about this. I see your camcorder has an HDMI output. Did the camcorder come with a remote control? Many of those Sony camcorders did. (Not sure about mine. I don't know where the box is at the moment.) If you don't have one, put in the model number and "remote control" into Google and see if something comes up. Perhaps a remote control would allow you to at least view your video on a TV.
When capturing video from the older DV recorders, the capture program would actually control the camcorder through a Firewire cable. I don't think that's going to be an option with HDMI. I don't know, plus you'd have to figure out how to get the video to play on your compter. My computers only have HDMI out.
