Verrry decent head shot, and technically impressive. Just imagine your future abilities after you’ve digested the whole 800 pages !

You will find that utube videos are more user friendly than manuals. Keep on viewing.
If you got a Sony, check out Mark Smith's video's.

Most likely a more menu intensive camera which should be all good once you set it up. Enjoy your new equipment & the benefits of mirrorless.

I keep hearing about people that switch but I haven't learned how to use all the features of my Nikon D850 yet. It is hard for me to imagine getting better pictures than what I am getting so I think it will be a while before I switch.

You’ve been here for four years and it’s not yet obvious ? Glutton for garbage ?

I guess so. This is why I wonder why anyone here actually takes the time to respond to an OP like this?

That is one of the foundational UHH myths passed from parrot to parrot. There’s no rationale at all for learning every feature on an advanced camera ... unless advanced camera fondling is simply your version of photography.
Isn’t it clear enough ? It’s waaaay more pragmatic to build and market one camera for “everyone” rather that a multitude of cameras for “every_one” or every narrow field of interest.
If you are interested in doing everything your camera can do, you are interested in nothing special ... and it will show in your results.
If you know how fluently express yourself using the features that serve your extant purposes, you know all you need to know about your camera. If it’s a rather advanced camera, thaz less than half of its special features.

If you get some new ideas, and your limited knowledge about your camera is an obstacle, then you plug some keywords into the pdf manual and open a new door.
But opening all the doors and meddling with whatever is behind them is not photography ... it’s just toying with your fancy toy.
I happen to know that my camera can do 30fps bursts that begin 30 frames BEFORE my reflexes press the button. 30fps and never a missed moment ? OK but I had absolutely no interest in soccer photography before I got this device and I’m not gonna do it on a “becuz I can” basis or becuz I can wow my “peers”.
Acoarst that same feature is helpful for other things but I’m very good at those things without it ... but yes, that feature improves the hit ratio.

Anywho, if you just NEED to meddle with all the features that you never needed, then get some lights, write a script, gather a cast, and go into production. Otherwise your camera will feel terriblely neglected and your manhood will feel terribly shrunken :-(
Forget the parroted advice. But if you really WANT a new camera, waiting until you master everything about your current camera WILL save you at least $1,000 ... cuz by the time you allow yourself to upgrade, that upgrade you wanted will be old tech sold at a verrrrrrry deep discount ;-)

...if you're already a Nikon user the transition is pretty straight up, operationally. Getting used to the EVF and focus system is the challenge...
