Lots of great shots so far. Can't say that any D850 shots look any better than D500 ones. JMO
True. I doubt you will be able to see the difference in highly downsampled shots on the web. Now, printed large format. That is what the D850 is about. JMO

Yeah, and 99.9% of us won't see the large format prints.
My point is that even at web-size, the D850 shots should not look worse than D500 shots.

I imagine the quality of different photos, posted at web size, has more to do with the photographer, the conditions when the shot was taken, and the quality of the post processing, rather than the choice between these two cameras.

I don't know if the fault lies on this site; or it is the fault of the sites which are hosting the pictures; but some pretty ghastly compression-induced artifacts are very evident in many of these photographs.
Perhaps the fault lies with both sites?
People really need to click on the images and look at them at original size before commenting on image quality.
The pixelation often seems to be worse on furry animals than on birds.

A few more from the other day.
Beauties! That #2 is super!
Someone correct me if I am wrong, because it has been a very long time since I have observed at length, feeding aggregates of herons/egrets:
The Snowy is the only one among the herons/egrets that demonstrates this ability to fly across a pool of trapped fish, while at the same time, dropping its head and plucking them from the water. I have seen them work pools like this, back and forth, while other herons had to stand on shore and watch because the water was too deep.

Can you indicate specific images, please. I haven't seen any evidence but I haven't looked all that hard either.

Thanks for bringing back the memories
Thanks Robert!
Yes, I believe you are correct. I've seen them on a few occasions dunking it's head into the water, however I've never been in a good position to capture it until the other day.

This lens is a steal.
Agree, esp at that price point.

Looks like the 200-500 plays nice with the D850. Big surprise.
It played really well with the D810 as it is a FX compatible lens. So was not surprised to see it extracting the most from the D850 FX sensor. It is only the beginning, as I am rather expecting amazing images from this combo.
. Great shots as usual from you.
