trying not to fall into that new gear trap but I think now it's time to upgrade my Nikon DF with the Nikon d850 don't think this will be a lateral move, going for articulating screen, ease of controls many more MP to get more detail and better ergonomics , already have a d500 and love it . So are there any other Nikon d850 owners out there that care to commit so I can be sure I'm making the right move. Will appreciate any views
Thing is most people who bought the Df did not do so for a 16MP FX sensor, they did so for the simplified functions, mechanical controls, retro design, and because it is so darn cute looking like a Nikon Fx Film Camera. Though always mightily over priced. A friend of mine recently bought a D750 24MP FX and loves it and is taking much better pix with it than the D3100 DX he used previously. His photography has improved and the D750 produces very little noise. I've seen that myself as we've both photographed together and his 24MP FX is noiseless compared to my 24MP APS-C camera. My older 16MP APS-C is better in the noise department as well. Thus, I'm implying you may be happy or even better off with a D750 or D810.
