Re: Nikon’s next move: What camera body are you expecting?

The rumors are there’s a Z9 II coming, though I’d think they should release a Z7 III.
The latter would affect Z8 sales, so the Z7 line may be dead. Pity, because the Z8 is too large and heavy for many who would otherwise consider Nikon.
I thought I'd prefer to carry the Z6iii vs the Z8 as a daily carry, but in my Ona Bowery (which fits a full frame mirrorless body with lens and a 2nd lens next to it) the Z8 takes up about the same size so I sold my Z6iii.
And I make the same argument about the irrelevance of camera sizes if you need to carry it in a bag. But the Z8 is larger than the GFX100S II, and that is just not acceptable to me. Sony got the size right, why not Nikon?
I want the people around me to mostly ignore me, and that happens with the OM-1, and now the Q3. With the GFX or Z8, people stop to watch what I'm doing, start asking questions, making mostly inappropriate-for-the-situation jokes, etc. The Q3 is a magnet for other photographers, though.
Thst doesn’t make sense to me. I can only fit one lens mounted on the body with the GFX100S in the Bowery. My go to 45-100 f4 won’t fit at all even unmounted with the body next to it. I can carry a prime plus a 24-120 f4 in the Bowery easily, which makes for a great walk around kit.
Come on people. Arguing that Z8 size is not that big is absolutely pointless
