I think that's a little unfair, Robert.
You are probably right Eric but I had just sat through four YouTube videos and that WAS the overbearing impression I was left with. I was just expressing my frustration at what I saw as unfair, dismissive reviews.
These two cameras are aimed at enthusiasts and serious users, not pro's, their turn will probably come with the second iteration, which I understand is already in the pipeline and is said to include the large D5 type battery and dual card slots.
Surely it makes sense for Nikon to release a product like this to a critical and competent user base to iron out wrinkles and snags before finalising a higher end product aimed at the true professional user.
Interestingly the 'roadmap' doesn't include future bodies, I suspect Nikon have released these to test the water to see what happens, future development may be steered to some degree by feedback from X6 and Z7 owners. I hear the Olympics in two years time are at Tokyo? Maybe another long PF in Zmount as well?
