If I could justify keeping my Z7II after I got the Z8, I would have. I love the form factor and size of the Z7II for travel etc. However, the Z8 is not all that much bigger and heavier to justify the luxury of having a Z7II as well.
This... I sold my Z7ii after using the Z8 for a minute.
To be honest, I don't think I would bother with a Z7/Z7ii now either. If I had plenty of money I might consider it for travel purposes, or when I just want a small light camera, but those days are rare. Even when I travel, the Z8 is small enough and only a few hundred grams heavier so it's no big deal. The extra performance advantage sways it to the Z8 also. Practicalities would mean that the Z7/Z7ii would get used much at all. I did come from the early days of DSLR's and started with a Pentax *ist D, which was very small, solid but slow as a wet week in all departments. However, I still loved using it and its output was very nice.
