Tascam will introduce an XLR/TRS adapter for the Nikon in October so that problem goes away, though obviously Canon includes their adapter with the camera, partly explaining the higher price.

That has been my point all along-
Canon is yawn/boring/no one is all that interested with its release of the Canon C50.
Nikon shocked and surprised everyone and is getting attention.
Its time Canon starts disrupting itself with some fresh/cool new ideas instead of hoping its EF line carryovers will keep the golden goose.
Nikon made a cheaper, stripped down Z6 III that has their "Red" DNA in it; that's the real sell here, but the thing is, the best use of the camera seems to be as a B-camera for a production using Red cameras. It's barely featured externally, essentially a 'bare-bones' tool. But if you're not using Red (or Nikon) already, why?
Canon made something with a new sensor and is designed to be rigged up much more flexibly, and comes with an audio interface. The Nikon has no provision for such.
They're really very different tools and I'd be excited for either if I were in either of their (different!) niches.
