I see your point on the costs….and I am sure the latest Nikons do match or improve to some extent on models like the D850. My point is more that I no longer need or hanker for all the whizz and bang capabilities that manufacturers are now adding to cameras.
Sad though it may be, to some extent I have lost a lot of my passion and drive for “going out to take photos”.
Now… it’s taking any lightweight camera with me when I go out to do other things just in case. In that scenario, having an expensive top of the range camera is pointless overkill. A camera that feels good in the hand, is compact, that I understand and takes decent snaps is all I need.
In some ways I have to say I'm like your Eric. A few weeks ago I bought a Z6iii as back up to my Z8 and I stuck my Z28-400mm lens on it and have really enjoyed walking around with a light weight camera and lens.
