So I think underexposing purposely to preserve highlights is a better exposure decision if shooting RAW. Also see my post on my initial D850 setup here. Apart from the size of the files they look like pictures from every other modern camera (except mine). We've combed through the options and selected our two favorite cameras in this class. Yes, I've had the Fuji and the Hasselblad X-1D on trial. When it comes to file size I somewhat agree with you having both the D800 and the D500 the filesize of the former can be cumbersome (even with a pretty good computer setup), with that said computers evolve and there was a time (back in the late 80's early 90's) where my humble computer (an Amiga) struggled with small .jpg's. The results are astounding; with new levels pulled out of RAW, no colour bleeding in contrasted areas, no harsh gradations between two colours, no harsh clippings in highlights/shadows, no halos — D850 provides better overall tonality and colour control at a pixel level than any current 50MP MF camera. The bottom line is delivered photos which are not much different from D810 compared to D850.
