The D850 with a grip = 9fps, use group and more than not you will nail pretty much everything you want, if you want 20fps plus and want to track a fast erratic moving subject then yes the new mirror less focusing system helps in many but not all cases, its basically the same as videoing just keep the subject in the maximum full frame screen and the camera does everything else for you, easy, more so for people who have little to no skill sets.
The D500 is a excellent little light camera, but it basically exists in the D850 Z8 anyway, no one in our club uses one anymore, they all prefer the dual option of the 45mp D850 Z8 Z9.
When DSLRS were FF 16 and 20 mp the D500 had some benefits but 45mp made it basically obsolete.
You can buy a D850 with only 15 - 20 k actuation's for $1500 USD in cases you just have to watch for them.
I have had my Z9 since the day it was released, sold it recently and got a Z8 cheap because of more travel and long hiking, unless i use high speed on occasions or bird tracking occasionally the D850 does pretty much everything else the same.
DX in mirror less.......... if Nikon like Fuji jumps to 40 mp did with a 4/3rd sensor and now added ibis, then Nikon should be able to compete, to do so and still make money maybe we will see a lot more Tameron DX glass reskinned as Nikon with a Nikon tweak, who knows, again Nikon mirror less DX cameras need to go to 33 or 40 mp like Fuji or do they.
Remember Nikon and Canon only ever gave us bread and water for decades and decades until Sony came along, watch Fuji there a force to recon with, Bravo.
People want small light affordable with quality, perfectly reasonable to expect.
Try DX in a D850 with a grip using group, you will love it, you will always be able to pick up a Z8 in the future, and if the global economy keeps going the way it is you will see some real discounting in the near future as retail globally is super flat. Even Apple is discounting regularly now here in OZ with their I phones to compete with Samsung who is heavily discounting, something we were told never really happens with Apple.
Only an opinion
