Charles...the irony is I found your youtube channel awhile ago when I was looking for a tutorial on how to use my d7500.So I have been following your channel since.Later while I was surfing I saw one of your latest video's where you explain that you purchased the d500.I am struggling whether I should do the same or get the d850 and keep my d7500.I have a question however. Why did you decide on the d500 and not a mirroless camera? Kind Regards..
