I agree Eric but I think that 45MP may be overkill in some/many situations.

That's true, the instances of needing full size 45mp files will be few and far between.

I would just like to know if the procedures for Nikon downsampling to the M or S level result in files that are the same quality as cropping the full size file?
...and then....
I would love to know if the D500 files are inferior to cropped or downsampled D850 files?

I am prepared to buy back into Nikon with a D850 but it's a large chunk of money that could be spent elsewhere, if the need for 45mp can be ignored...especially with the 1.5x advantage of DX.

I am in the process of recouping funds by selling redundant technology and photo gear and hope to make a decision in January.

I don't suppose you could send me some sample files?
D500 v D850 v D850 downsampled to M and S.

If you can, they would all need to be jpegs as I don't have the raw converters for D500 or D850 raw files.
