I thought I'd provide a couple of non-cropped Yellowstone Pics where I was absolutely as close or closer to the buffalo than I should have been. I was using a Full Frame camera with a 450mm lens, which would be the same as your D500 or D850 DX mode with a 300mm lens. So, these would represent the largest image you might expect. I used 630mm in some other cases and desired to crop those.

I'd take both because I always take a backup camera! I have the D500, a Nikon 200-500 and Nikon 80-400, and a D800 and a Z7. In Yellowstone I use the D500 and the 200-500 about 95% of the time for animals and either the D800 or Z7 for landscapes, which I don't take a lot of since I'm usually there for the animals.
That's my story!
I kept either a 24-70 or 70-200 on the 850 and a long one on the 500.Nov 20, 2019 22:08:51 #

Unless you are going to be long distances from your vehicle, I suggest you take both cameras. Shoot the D500 with 300mm + 1.4 and the D850 with 70-200mm and take a 24-70mm for wide angle landscape with the D850. We did 6 weeks in South Africa this fall shooting wildlife and birds with a D500 and Z7 as I described, never removed lenses and never even used the wide angle. The combo worked perfectly!
