I've been watching a LOT of Nikon Z8 reviews in the past few days, and I am glad to see that a lot of the Z9 functionality is there in a slightly smaller/lighter/less expensive form factor.
However, I was hoping for a mirrorless APS-C (i.e., crop sensor) camera. A successor, specifically, to the tried and true bird photographer's camera, the D500.
Yes, I know that the Z9 has a DX mode, but not being someone who can afford a $15,000+, 600mm + 1.4TC lens, I need a camera that can help me get 750mm compositional reach with my 500mm PF lens, right out of the gate. (Plus, $4,000 for a new camera body is still a little bit steep for me.)
Anyone else here hoping/waiting for a D500 mirrorless successor? And if so, do you think it will come out within the next two years?
