D500-D850 auto focus and holding focus in action both much the same. Noise on D850 is better and you can use higher ISO. A shown above, in youg starling pix, you can get large sharp images for D850 with fine detail and I would doubt if D5 would score so highly in this area but I did only get to use one for a day.
Yes, but my complaint with FX is that the AF points cover a much smaller proportion of the image than with DX. AFAIK that holds true between the D5/D850 and the D500.
It drive me nuts sometimes. I don't always, in fact I rarely want the point of focus in the centre of the image. I know you can acquire focus, lock then re-frame but I don't want the faffing about that entails especially with moving subjects.
The focus points on FX should have a similar distribution on FX as they do on DX, it seems like a cost cutting measure to utilise the same AF module on both formats.
Yes that is correct. The DX spread of AF points in the viewfinder is greater than on an FX camera.
If I want a better control of points then I switch to AF-C mode with Dynamic which seems to work well especially with wideanglelenses.
