Just a quick comment on @jamesstaddon’s comment about ultra-wide angle lenses… You can get good crop lenses that do the equivalent of 17mm or even 15mm for crop bodies – some common ones are the Sigma 10-20mm f/3.5 or the Tokina 11-20mm f/2.8 or the Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8. The difficulty is not so much the wide angle, but the lens quality. There are few wide-aperture, high-quality, crop sensor zoom lenses that compare to what you can get for full-frame. I shoot quite a bit with the Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 and it is fine, but it is my lens with the most optical quality issues in several ways. (If I had 4000$ USD for a full-frame upgrade and the Tamron 15-30mm f/2.8 VC as well as a 24-70 f2.8 I would love it!) Note that 15-30 on full-frame is the same as 10-20 on crop.
If the Nikon D500 interests you for its 10fps but you need full-frame, the D750 at 6.5 fps is probably the best compromise. Or if you have a big budget 🙂 you could try the D5 at 12-14 fps… or you could settle with the newly-released 45MP D850 at only 7fps (or 9fps with the battery grip). 🙂
