Looking for advise from all the Hogs. Current equipment base is a Nikon D750 and Nikon D500. Lots of lens ranges to accompany. As I age, I find it harder and harder to shoot BIF for long periods of time with longer lenses. I have used a gimble but am not totally happy with that solution. Am now thinking of changing to a Nikon D850 or a Nikon Z series (probably a Z8). Is there a significant weight tradeoff by going mirrorless and am I trading other benefits by moving from DSLR to Mirrorless format. I know that is the future direction (Nikon just discontinued the D500) but wonder if the 850 will give me more benefits than the Z series. Am not doing any video work, just still imagery.

This is just my experience--I have a Nikon 750 and Z 6-ii. By the time I put a lens on the Z with the adapter, I'm finding it's heavy which was exactly what I wanted to avoid. Using the mirrorless has been a real challenge for me since I'm not very technical and all the tracking options are confusing. I've gone back to using my 750 which feels more comfortable. Some mirrorless lens are backordered which doesn't help either. I took a virtual class on using the Z which added to my confusion. Best wishes.
