Other things like the joystick for AF which was previously only available in the D4/5 series.

And the D500. Which is great, so the D500 and the D8500 feature almost identical control layout. Which makes them the obvious choice for a 2-body FX + DX setup.

Not to mention the best-ever view finder!

Yup, should be great... wander if it still accepts the enlarging eye-piece I use on the D3x

The only thing I really don't like about Nikon's latest high-end models is their continued support of XQD-cards. Would have preferred two slots of the same kind.
