Z7

All speculation. I doubt we will get a z7iii. Nikon expected the z7 and z6 to sell equally well, but the z6 line consistently performed better than the 7 through the first two generations. Given the price difference that will have been disappointing. With the z8/9, they took the more 'traditional' (

they are different tools, the z8 can shoot much faster, has some specific wildlife modes in its af and the faster sensor allows for better video. so for wildlife the z8 is better since that is what its designed for, the telephoto lenses on z mount is also a bonus. on the other hand the a7rV has a hi
