Thank You for the detailed responses regarding the D850, sounds like a camera that I could be interested in, as BIF photography is not my forte, indeed, the birds that are of interest to me have propellers or jet-engines, and it is such a shame they phased out the Harrier,which is a cute looking bird and there is something dangerous about it.

However, I will wait a bit longer and see if a D5 / D6 will show in the nearby future , the battery thing is important to me, having toted camera`s with different batteries / chargers around the globe was an experience I would not want to " enjoy " again.

Still wondering if an EN-EL 4 could be shortened to fit a D5 / D6 ....so that the ( dead ) batteries could be rebuild and I could use the chargers that I already have.

You seem confused. The EN-EL4 and the EN-EL18 are the same size in almost every respect, I have one of each sitting beside me as I type. The only difference is that the contacts are, looking at contact end of the battery, on the left with the EN-EL4 and on the right with the EN-EL18. You can charge the EN-EL4 using an MH26a and a BT-A10 adaptor plate.
