I'm happy with my D500/500PF combo at this point in time. However, I know that I'm going to go mirrorless at some point, as bird AF and WYSIWYG in the viewfinder is a major improvement over the D500 combo. So, for me my options right now are the Sony A1/200-600 or keep the 500PF and add the Z9 with adapter. Megapixels are similar, so that's not a concern. As for cost here in Australia the Z9 is showing at around $8900 and the adapter FTZii around $400. The Sony A1 is $8999 and the 200-600 $2500. So, $9400 for Nikon vs $11,500 for Sony. Selling my Nikon (not sure what it's worth now...just over a year old) would reduce the cost of the Sony combo.
So...if my main concern is bird eye AF, which is the best combo? (especially for BIF) Renting either combo is not feasible or even an option here in Brisbane. I know there needs to be more reviews of the Z9's eye AF, but I'm just interested in other views here. Cheers.
