Neither my D500 nor D850 have a startup time? They are instantly on. o.O

If I prefocus on a subject (to take that operation out of the sequence) ....switch off the camera. Then switch on and press the shutter simultaneously I get a perfectly focused image immediately. 

Am I missing something?

I always felt Thom Hogan gives more balanced reviews...
D780


I find the D850 a bit of an overkill for general day to day photography. Having established that the D500 gives me little advantage over the D850 in most situations and preferring the advantages of FX format, I would be tempted to trade in the D500 for a D780 if the price were more sensibly positioned. At £2200, it's too expensive compared to a £1400 D500 and the £2400 D850. I recognise it's newer, but can't help feeling Nikon have struggled with the competition it poses to its own Z6 and decided to keep the price away from the £1500 Z6. A sub £2000 price would tempt me more.
