#70212 D850 vs D500, is it worth the extra $1,000?

In combo with a very long prime lens, the D850 is the tool
I take along for all wildlife work.

If you only have DX lenses you would want to factor in that cost as well. To truly get the benefit of the D850 you will want to pair it with FX glass that will take advantage of its capabilities.

Spray and pray seldom, if ever, catches the decisive moment. The D850 is at least as responsive as the D500 for that all-important moment that makes or breaks the photo.

A colleague often spends to spend time with me at the marsh.
He shoots with the D5 and I with the D850 /600mm ƒ4 combo.
When he triggers, he gets double frame rate per second then me
but after culling, he doesn't get much of an edge in terms of cho-
sen moment and certainly not in terms of resolution.

The D850 has almost a stop better dynamic range available at low ISO when you bin the pixels for print. This might be significant, or not, depending on your style.
If you like to shoot with a wide-angle, a superwide like a 14 mm is only moderately wide in its coverage when cropped to the DX format. Some of the best ultrawides for Milky Way and northern light shots on FX, such as the Samyang 14 mm have no equivalent on DX as the 10 mm from the same manufacturer shows significant CA.
For wildlife, the D850 can be cropped to the same AOV as the D500.
If you don't shoot much ultra wide, the D500 might suit your needs better, but the FX advantage at the wide end is very real. Only you can know which suits your style of nature photography better.
