Thanks. A fun part of photography for me is to find unexpected ways to use equipment...

Just wondering. I have an amazing D850. It was the first DSLR that I've purchased since my D70 a very long time ago. I mainly shoot animals, some very fast moving. And I've used a few photos in magazine ads. I am wondering, is there anything that a D500 would do for me that my D850 cannot? Would it be a waste of money or another enjoyable adventure to add this camera? And what benefits would it have for me using crop instead of full frame? I do know I would need new glass for the D500.
I had both. The D500 is one of Nikon's finest but here is nothing that it will provide that the D850 can't do. Don't waste your money.

A D500 is about a pound lighter than a D850 with grip. To some people this matters, to others not. It matters to me. If I buy a 46 Mp camera it will most likely be the Z7, not the D850.

I do not disagree. "IF" you can get closer. On wood decked passage ways it is hard to do.
