Thank you for that very nice reply . I started with a cannon ae-1 back when I was 16 yrs old loved taking pictures then and still do. Used the ae1 all the way up to 2001 until I got the d200 that I still use to this day. The reason I picked the d500 is the quality, how close the d500 is to the d200 and the video. I am always shooting but at the moment mostly my daughter who is in the marching band. I have come to a decision after this post that the d500 will be alot more then I need . The d850 would be nice but in many ways it just will not be good for me at this point of my life . I feel the 45 mega pix. Is and the price and speed in the deciding factor for me. I enjoyed and appreciate all that the forum does for all of us thank you.

Yes you are right but is the price of the base price of the 850 and 500 $1000?
Thanks , I think I have made the decision to stick with the d500. There is a line between needs and wants . The 500 is alot more then I need.
I never shot with a full frame I don't know what to expect with a ff.
I am not worried about the money you always can work to make more. My question is , other then the difference between the full frame and the cropped are the cameras similar? Or is it like comparing apples to oranges?
Hi, was just looking for some input from the forum. I have a nikon d200 since 2003. I am saving up for a d500 and almost there. Was thinking of maybe switching to a full frame. Would anyone be able to help on that decision? I am a amateur photographer, that also am the photographer for all my daughters high school marching band tournaments . The d500 has the same footprint as my d200 so it would make a easy transition into. Also want some video options. But since I'm spending that much money why not spend a few dollars more and have the best of both worlds. Any thoughts?
