Two caveats.
1. Yes the D500 is a DX sensor but only 21MP.
2. I dont think that a mirrorless camera will match the AF speed of a DSLR with current technology.
I think that you need to get the Z6 or Z7 and test for general use then decide if it works for birding.
If you want to meet up sometime after if get my Z7 then you are welcome to test on the day as I will use D850 or XT2.
I would probably be happy to just have a Z6 for general use and keep the D500 for birding/sport etc for now. I would be surprised if the cropability and functionality of even the Z7 matched the D850. But will wait to see.
There are loose plans for us birding forum members to meet up in early October on NNorfolk Coast ....you are more than welcome to join us...as are ANY members. It could turn into a camera/lens evaluation day ....which would clear all the twitchers out of the hide.
