Battery is as I expected EN-EL15 battery but a new (b) version of it, EN-EL15b. Battery life is 300-330 shots. Cameras will use the XQD cards only. I think some needs to make an adapter XQD card that allows SD cards to be used as well. Yes there may be a speed compromise but it allows wider use. Prices are as expected. Z7 (45MP) body £3399, Z6 (24MP) body £2099 Z adapter £100 Great price. Prices Z7/Z6 Camera plus 24-70 f4 zoom +Z adapter £4099 ,£2799 Camera plus 24-70 f4 zoom £3999 ,£2699

This will please Eric. "an ultra-high-resolution electronic viewfinder with 3.6 million dots and 0.8x magnification, along with a 3.2" 2.1M-dot tilting touchscreen display on the rear of the camera. "

Having checked the confirmed dimensions I see that it is a bit over twice the size of my 1 J5. That means that it is too small for me, good because I don't have £2,500 to spare to buy one. I will wait and see what the grip does for it when it is available. I can't say that the 300 shots per battery charge is very impressive either but then I have been using the EN-EL4 series batteries for many years and that colours my view. I want the Z series to be a success and I think it has all the features and qualities required. As Michael Topham of Amateur Photographer points out "will they be able to build them fast enough"?

But they have done it again, one card slot.

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.
