But they have done it again, one card slot.
Why do you need two slots?
But in Z7/6 the slot is XQD and the latest specification allows for 4TB XQD cards I believe. I have 64GB XQD and SD cards in my D850, that is > 1400 shots of RAW.
I really dont see the need for dual slots. I think it is driven by a paranoia in wedding photographers about failure of cards. I have had one SD, CF or XQD fail and it was after a format not in live use. All electronics can fail.
So could we take this as an indication that these cameras are not the top of the range professional bodies but equivalents to the D850 and D750? I would like to think that there is a top of the range Pro body awaiting the results of the Z6 and Z7 launch. Possibly a bigger body with integral grip using the EN-EL18c battery, a bigger buffer and even faster frame rate.
I agree that once the technology and concept is proven and refined then a DZ6 might be the logical next step. This would be the first mirrorless camera with D series body but dont know how this is approached from a marketing perspective as it may fragment professional camera sales.
If the EN-EL15b can only deliver 330 shots then a DZ series camera with a bigger battery is required for photo journalists as 1000+ shots per charge is more desirable.
BTW a battery grip is promised for the Z7/Z6.
