Re: Nikon unveils the highly anticipated Z8 camera!
Cost is the biggest factor to still buy a D500 (not D850).
Nothing's changed since 2017, when the D850 launched over a year after the D500. Some added the FX or upgraded but to this day there are many happy D500 campers. It is still bang/quid one of the best ILCs yet made for action photography and more besides.
A DX Z90 will likely cost $2K - 2.5K, and it will suit many travellers, birders and safari goers with a 24-200 and 180-600. There are so many Fmount lenses being sold a bargain prices that can be adapted.
This flagship of the Z-DX lineup will attract many on a budget into the Z System. Nikon has its Z30 and Zfc etc but there are many students , who are most keen on nature photography.
The Z8 is to grow in to FX for action genres with high end video and all, but costs twice of 1.5 times a stacked sensor DX MILC (that Fuji released already).
