I think that the high price is a reflection of Nikon putting a 45MP sensor in the camera.
If it had been me I would have launched the 24MP Z6 first, ironed out the issues and complaints and released the killer Z7 with everything fixed and at same time launch a DZ7 (professional body like the D6).
In a DZ7 I would expect mirrorless camera with twin cards, two batteries, Z flange, even faster AF.
Yes I do feel uncertain about going to the Z7 bgut it may be a very good option if it performs correctly. It wont be a D850 but more a XT2 on steroids. That is my expectation. I may be disappointed.
Although ultimately a professional mirrorless will come along and be adopted by same, I feel it is still some time off.
Although many professionals DO USE mirrorless cameras, it will need something a bit more robust than the current body and lenses to woo the D5/6 brigade.
That said, I no longer take photographs for a living, so wouldn't need it D5 bombproof. For me it's the value for money part that irks me. The 45mp D850 is priced near enough to the Z7 to question the advantage of mirrorless
