I am looking at the same decision. I have primarily shot wildlife, using a D500. Purchased a well-used D810 a while ago to test the FF waters. Love the high resolution, but feel that the D810 is old technology. So, since neither the D850 nor the Z7II will replace the D500, the choice for me to get high resolution in a more up-to-date body is the Z7II, or even a used Z7.
I went with the D850 to compliment my D500. I shoot wildlife mostly, getting into landscapes as well. D850 may be the best all around camera especially for those of us who shoot a variety of subjects. D500 with the 500pF attached balances better for me especially BIF shots. High frame rate is nice on the D500, too. D850 IQ is tops, though and the low-light capabilities and the 47 mp sensor are welcome.
