If the D500 was 25MP or 30MP it would be a real winner.  However they would need to improve the noise and dynamic range as well to really satisfy me.

Currently the D850 has in excess of 10-11stops of range (some people report 11.5, 12, 13.5 stops but I dont find this in real life use) and that is just fine as I can work with that.
Would be interested if Eric or Graham could check and confirm this for me.

Surely it depends on the lens being used? An inherently low contrast lens will enable a wider discernible dynamic range. Conversely a contrasty lens will clip the range.
