No longer a newbie, moving up!
4K, Touch Screen, Crappy Video AF, Stills AF needs the D500 system, wile for me its an overkill the market want more resolution, better low light performance and more.So July 25 2017 is here and we all expected a big D850 announcement, full specs and release date.
And we are getting the announcement that its being developed ?
Whats the big news here ?
Of course its being developed.
I am seriously disappointed, I am waiting for a really impressive cameras from Nikon and now announcement about product they are developing which we all know they do.

What is it about the D810 that is less than really impressive?
I love the ergonomics of my D500, esp gripped. I wish for the D850 to have the same body layout all the knobs and wheels in all the same places and I wish for the same battery grip on both cameras
Currently with my 3 bodies d3 d600 d500 all the knobs and wheels are in different places. Not nice.
I do not really need more megapixels, but I am strong enough to cope with them if they are there.
This is my thinking. I'm ready to make the jump to a full frame body to compliment my D500.. but none of the ones currently on the market really meet my wishlist.
Being that I do a lot of event and/or night photography it's important for me that the button layout matches as closely as possible. I also don't think I could go back to shooting at night without the backlit buttons.. super nice to have.
Essentially I'll buy the D850 if it has the D500 ergonomics and backlit buttons. If it's vastly different from the d500 I don't know what I'll do.. either suck it up and have two totally different button layouts or just buy another D500 and skip going to full frame.
I never thought of it as much of a challenge to learn to operate more than one camera. I wonder how confused Ansel Adams would have been if he had to worry about backlit buttons.
