Once you go to Full Frame you will never turn back. The extra real estate and the large frame changes your creative look.
But as the gentlemen said new glass even with FX trades will cost some money.
Folks say your feet are your framing but not so. When your are in a crowded place along an outdoor place you cannot always backup enough. Full framing is a beautiful thing and the negative space becomes part of your art. Also I really like fast prime lens.
If you use quality FX zoom lens you might be alright with
the cropped sensor. Good luck.

I used to shoot DX and eventually sold my D7100 after buying a D800E. The IQ is outstanding and the extra pixels has advantages. Bought a D810 and really like both.
I'm seriously considering a D500 and had preordered. Cancelled the order after the delay was announce and decided I would wait for the reviews.
I won't give up my FX cameras but DX has some advantages that appeal to me. The main one is DOF. A f2.8 lens has all the advantages of f2.8 but gives the DOF of one additional stop at each aperture. Big advantage with shooting a long lens close up. The extra reach is nice if it doesn't result in noise.
Of course with 36mp I can get the extra reach by cropping without the noise.
If the D500 lives up to expectations it has features that may be unrivaled by other Nikons or cameras.
Hope Nikon can deliver as promised and that the reviews bare out the claims.

Thanks Dan.
I agree. They are challenging and there is so much variety. I'm addicted.

This is a splendid set Joe. I admire your set-up but even more, I admire your ability to make images of this quality. The light and background could not have been more supportive to the wonderful detail you captured in the Cowbird's muted beauty.

Thank you Rockdog. I just press the shutter button.

We have a similar woodpecker in the Midwest called Red-bellied.

So the Bride and I are getting used to her being off on Mondays. Started a tradition of "Mondates". This week the movie ZOOTOPIA followed by a visit to a local zoo.
All shots done with Nikon D610 and Sigma 50-500 at the extreme ranges handheld.
Hope you enjoy!
Nice set. I especially like the lion.
