Well my Fuji XT2 has 2.36MP EVF and I am happy. The Z7 has 3.6MP so it should be better, but it does depend on the revresh rate as well.

There is no evidence that Nikon has, or will be, dropping in-lens VR. With the possible exception of the 24-70 f4 Nikon don't make a VR version of any of the lenses currently announced. There isn't a 24-70 f4 in F mount but there is a 24-70 f2.8 VR. There is a 24-70 f2.8 on the road map, will it have VR? I expect so. I fully expect the 70-200 f2.8 to be a VR lens and I also expect further VR lenses to be introduced later. Correcting Pitch and Yaw vibration is easier to accomplish with in-lens systems. If I were designing a new camera system and had the option of five axis stabilisation I wouldn't cripple it by removing the Pitch and Yaw elements from future lenses.

 12fps in low light? No.... I find this is something for those who like machine guns rather than rifles! I dont need 50 bullets to kill someone/thing as a person who was trained as a sniper by British Army. I find one bullet is enough or two if really necessary! Similarly in cameras I tend to use CL only where I want a set of images fast action or HDR. CH is wasted on me. Single frame capture is my preference. I understand CL use in dance and sports and possibly some wildlife images.

Simply posted the info to correct any misunderstandings. I do use high for two reasons, exposure bracketing and focus bracketing with my 300 f2.8 MF which I lock onto a pre determined point on a race track then rattle off three or four exposures which allows me to choose the optimal shot for that particular picture. My reactions and eyes are not in the same class as an army trained sharp shooter!!!

I am gradually drifting to a decision that I will get my Z7 with 24-70 f4 and the Z adapter. If it performs well then I will keep but I will be thinning out my Nikon camera and lens inventory and also reduce my Fuji setup by getting rid of the XT1. I am still fence sitting about getting a second XT2 as the Z7 has removed need and a purchase of a Z6 would certainly negate the need for a second XT2. It really is now all about how the Z7 AF performs and how I get on with it!

Well, Amazon are doing their best to encourage me to get a Z model. I ordered a Sony XQD card to try on the D500 while on holiday ......they sent me two! Order and invoice clearly say one. Just waiting to see what credit card says before contacting them. Now wondering if I should order a Z7 from them ...and see if they send me two of those as well.

Had you not considered updating the firmware on the D500 to accept the CF express cards... Not 100% up on the tech, just posting on the hoof from memory, I posted a link about it a while back... http://nikondslr.uk/view_topic.php?id=1516&forum_id=5 The Z's are said to be upgradable to take these alternative cards too.
