Yes, but actually the 45MP does give me headroom.
Do you find your D850 underexposes by half a stop on matrix metering?
My histos all need to be lifted to get the white end right. It's as if Nikon, knowing you can recover shadows so well on this sensor, have been overcautious in protecting the top end. I've ended up dialing in +0.3 and still not stacking up the right side of the histo.
Lovely camera to use though....probably best since my D3.
I haven't seen the disadvantage over the D500 for birding you mention. But haven't used it much for that purpose yet. I've tended to use the D500 for its DX factor but noticed the noise level creeping in at quite low iso on it.
