Since instagram only allows 1080 pixels of width, it's basically 1K resolution. I don't quite see how the purchase of a 8K or 12K camera is justified let alone needed for such use.
What's worse is that instagram is typically viewed from a very small screen at some distance away and so very little detail is conveyed. If viewed on a larger screen (an iPad, for example), it doesn't use the whole screen which is ridiculous.
A Z7 series camera is like from the polar opposite world, made for creating high-resolution, high image quality images. You really need a larger presentation...Show more →
Photographers who want to remain relevant in the commercial/event/people sphere simply have no choice but to add a videographer hat. They typically act as hybrid shooters and I believe that Nikon has read that market trend better than anybody else and has executed extremely well over a short period of time. The Z6III/Z8/Z9 are perfect for a multi-camera set up with top notch pro level video quality in camera. Ideal for one man shops who need to shoot quickly high quality things without a truck and a crew. The lenses are also perfect for such applications.
This mostly isn't about vlogging, which is a small market, it's about content creation.
One example I did a few weeks ago: https://www.instagram.com/reel/C8noiOPApBq/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
Sure, I took some photographs also... https://www.instagram.com/p/C8owmVdJOQt/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
So the Z7III will mostly not target this segment, but I am pretty sure it will nonetheless feature very high quality 8K if not 12K video.
True, but I just used Instagram as a reveal of the increasing importance of Video.
Those shooting content used on Instagram shoot for other media outlets also, such as YouTube where 4K is becoming the norm and the next gen of TVs will be 8K.
A friend of mine making a huge amount of cash on Getty defines 50mp stills as the minium to maximize profit. There is little doubt that the minimum requirements for video content will keep increasing also.
Cheers,
Bernard

p.3 #2Laughable Nikon Z7 III and Z80 "rumors"
Methinks folks are missing the obvious portend with the arrival of CFexpress 4.0 cards in the market, clearly, there are no cameras existant that exploit those speeds.
Of note, PCIe 4.0-5.0 and NVMe 1.4c–2.0c architecture continues to advance and any notions of stasis within the consumer/professional imaging world are nonsensical in their obviations, of such.
12K internal-RAW FF cameras, they're coming. ≥90MP FF sensors, they're coming. Both in a Z7III? Who knows?
Some CFexpress primer viewing...

Since we're all playing darts here...the rumored N2216 is a Z7III in a Z6III-style "prosumer" body with new Z6III EVF and with the same 45.7MP Z8/Z9 sensor and time-limited (due to heat) internal 8K N-RAW recording, the rumored N2312 is the rumored 90MP landscape/portraiture dream stills shooter in a flagship Z9-style "Pro" body with 12K internal N-RAW dream video shooter functionality all to CFexpress 4.0 with new higher-rez high-nit flagship EVF.
