IMO, I think the Z's got trounced more for not having a secondary card slot. I used both the D810 and Z7 recently for a studio shoot with ambient window light. I always under expose several stops to set my ambient prior to lighting the strobes. For fun I tried the 5 stops of under exposure with both cameras and pulled them up in LR. The D810 simply smoked the Z7 sensor when pushing the exposure. Actually, I could shoot a model with the D810 where there was no discernible detail in the models features, but could pull it up 5 or 6 stops and the image was practically as clean as shooting at base iso with a meter. Not dissing the Z7, but just to show that obsolescence is overrated.
