I have to admit that, given my interest in birding, the Nikon D500 and a 300 PF would be a strong choice. I've read some D500 reviews and will have to look into the 300 PF more closely. Its the D500's AF speed and accuracy and ISO strengths, etc. that really seem great - making APSC very interesting again. If I was already invested in Nikon it would be a no brainer.

The D500 seems extremly good at AF. The sensor is about one stop better noise wise. The Nikon 200-500/5,6 would make a nice lens on it. Gives with the 1,5x crop 300-750 mm(FF eqv) with the same noise as the Olympus 300/4.
