Enough with the pixel counting; get a Sony rx10 mk4. It'll do as good a job as any of those.

A fine camera. No debate about that, and much more advanced than the D810 in terms of features, especially the autofocus, however you can't compare the IQ of a 20 MP 1 inch sensor with that of a full frame 36+ megapixel sensor. I have another camera with a 20 MP 1inch sensor, a Canon G7X II. No way. Night and day.

I shoot an RX10MIV and it doesn’t approach the IQ of my 20mp Olympus OM-1, much less that of my 45mp Z7.

Two factors. The first is sensor size and the second is the increased pixel count of the Z7. A "1 inch" sensor is quite small. I do frequently use my camera with a 1 inch sensor. I even use my phone from time to time as a camera. It depends on the circumstances and what I want the outcome to be. The "big guy" is for the critical work.

Thank you to all that replied, I think I’ll wait for now before spending my kids inheritance

Well, I gave you a hint. Just out of curiosity, what camera do you use?

Sorry, I've been busy and not on the computer. Don't know if you will find this, but my equip is listed in the signature line.

I see. Some pretty good stuff. I only asked because you seem to be a fan of high pixel count cameras. Perhaps that's where you should go next.

Without the hint, I may not have found that tractor.
I am well aware of the advantages of high pixel count, especially for telephoto work. I am also aware of the demands on file space, and processing speeds of those high pixel count images, and the higher prices. So, when I decided it was time to upgrade my camera, that was just one of the variables that I had to balance into the equation. Would I like to have one? Sure. Do I do much of that type of photography? No, not really. Is this my only hobby? No. So, I'm happy with my 26MP. But if someone says they like taking photos of birds in flight and bears in the mountains, then I'm going to suggest the buy the highest pixel count they can afford, mainly because they can crop the crap out of their photos.

Honestly, I take many pictures with a Canon G7X II. It's a 20 megapixel, 1 inch sensor compact camera. Before that, I used a SX230 HS. I bought the D810 as a retirement gift for myself. I already had a bunch of lenses acquired over the years from using their film equipment, and I added a few. There is no question as to the advantages of the high megapixel cameras. I too was blown away when I saw the tractor in that picture. But it isn't always practical to walk around with such a camera, and it's hard (for me anyway) to travel with one.
Here is one picture I took in England with the G7X II. It was the only camera I took with me on that vacation. Not bad.
