I tend to use my D500 with 200-500 for BIF images.
I am hoping that the new D850 will be just as good so it will give me even better opportunities as sometimes crops from D500 look a bit grainy!
Ah, now, you have raised an interesting issue. Cropping.
One of my problems is keeping the birds under the focus points. I found that at full magnification I was unable to predict or follow erratic movement....as a result they slipped away from the focus points and even out of frame!
So one thought was to back off magnification to give more field of view to recover from erratic movement...and crop. The 45mp of the D850 might help?
The other problem is I've been using single point focusing and I suspect I need more focusing points covering the image as well!!
Have to say I don't find it easy and would welcome suggestions from all the wildlife shooters as to how they cope with erratic movement.
