I certainly hope those rumors are wrong. It just doesn’t sound like Nikon to be chasing the A7R5 for their second camera from the top- they win when they beat to their own drum. The z9 although it competes with the A1 is really nothing like it. The D850, the D500 were recipes that nobody else matched. In many ways the d750 as well.
‘The z8 should really be a D850 reborn, In which case the z7iii could be the A7R5 alternative but with its own twist.
A z8 built around the z9 sensor but with specs just a bit more conservative and a z7 type body would wipe the floor with the R5 and Sony would have nothing to put against it. And then do the same with the stacked APSC sensor that is in the Fuji XH2s. You have your magic D850/D500 duo reborn. I hope they don’t get lured by the 61mp sensor promise… it’s just so slow.
They know the magic recipe.. I don’t know why they go a different route.
