I really have no need for a camera like that. I would venture to guess that most people who will buy one, won't actually need it either. The only reason I ever upgraded in the first place was because I loaned my first true dslr to my daughter and never got it back. She still uses it regularly. Then, I pretty much wore out my next one. And now I am on my third one. I would also venture to say that if I had a bunch of Nikon or Canon lenses from the film days instead of Minolta AF lenses that would work fully with those brands, I would have gone with one of those instead of Sony. They are all very good cameras.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddntCrOT-dk

Lots of toys that most will probably not use. The autofocus system is a good tool for those that learn how to use it. I enjoy it with the D500.

Yep. Same here. My Sony has a dynamite autofocus system. With any autofocus system, a lot of its reliability has to do with the lens itself. It does not matter whether if it is controlled though the body or the lens. And you are so right about the "toys". There are even point & shoot cameras that have features that no one uses - and should. I am still discovering some very useful tools is mine that I did not know existed. This just proves that I am still a true amateur. Lots of toys that most will probably not use. The autofocus system is a good tool for those that learn how to use it. I enjoy it with the D500.
The funny thing is about that saying that a better camera does not make for a better photographer. Not true. Even though I feel that many people ordering the D850 probably have no business owning one, I am positive that their crappy pictures will be of the highest quality. Lol.

I am not even interested in the slightest bit of getting either the D850 or the new Sony A9. What I have should last me for several years.I will wait till the hub bub dies down and maybe get one in the spring
