Like Scott said, the Z9 is their sports flagship. It's the camera that took everyone by surprise with the features and price, and brought over a lot of new Nikon users. I remember placing my order for the Z9 a month after release with BH, Adorama, and local camera store, I got a call back at least 7-8 months later telling me it was in stock. The Z9 II will at least have the improvements from the other Z cameras, like 8-Stop IBIS, 5.76m Dot EVF, Line-in, 32-bit float, etc.. I wouldn't be surprised if they added support for CFExpress B 4.0, and add Pre-Capture Raw, 30fps, and huge buffer. Personally, I think the reason Nikon has taken 5-years is because they're making something stellar like the Z9 with new efficency, features, speed, and focusing capabilities.
