I couldn't get away with the electronic viewfinder and poor noise control compared to the D500 Eric.

Eric what camera are you using these days?
I think you got rid of the Fuji but have you moved back to D850 or D500?

Correct. I've got both.
I am trying to use the D850 exclusively for everything at the moment...to see if I can dispense with the D500.

I prefer the feel of the D850, it has better low light noise control, greater dynamic range and (pixel) detail. I haven't found it especially slower to lock and hold focus, than the D500....I find 'I' am slower than both.  

Cropping a D850 image is slightly better than a straight D500 image when lighting is less than ideal. In bright lighting they are virtually indistinguishable.

I got rid of all the Fuji gear except the IR body and a wide angle zoom that doesn't hotspot.  In truth I have tired of IR, so it may go in my next clear out with my DX equipment. I am basically an FX guy. 😆 

I haven't ruled out a Z camera. But I see no point in adding one while I have the D850. Besides, I am not using my cameras enough at the moment.
One unused camera on the shelf, is better than two unused ones on the shelf.

Super weather today for a change so to Chichester Harbour and walked in at low tide to a remote area. Birds at medium distance so there D850 images are about 25% of full frame 500 f5.6 AF-S FL 1/800 sec at F13 800 ISO.
