When it comes to a 'landscape body' I don't think of needing all of the bells and whistles that the Z line has recently obtained, like 'xpeed 7, faster turn on time, better IBIS... and better EVF.' To me those are fast-action requirements that aren't really necessary for landscape use; when I think 'landscape' I think mostly about resolution because I'll be shooting at a relaxed pace on a tripod and EVF blackout won't be an issue.
As the cameras continue to deliver increasing resolution we're going into run into a problem when DLA begins to rear it's ugly head. From a functional standpoint, the diffraction limited aperture of the sensors keeps forcing us to use larger apertures as the pixel size becomes smaller. At 45MP we're already at a point where DLA effects begin to limit our use of small apertures beyond f/7.1. The only cure for that is to employ high resolution with larger pixels, which forces us into medium format.
