Some of you will remember that nobody saw the D500 coming, its announcement came as quite a surprise.
I remember a TON of people saying that Nikon would never put out the 180-600 because it "wasn't needed" what with the then current lineup of Nikon lenses.
There were many people who wanted that focal length, but couldn't afford the other Nikon offerings. That's why the 180-600 has sold so well, and I think that's why a crop sensor body with AF that is suitable for sports and wildlife would sell quite well. I think if you are saying that the Z8 is already the replacement are forgetting the affordability factor.
