Another Z6, we can hardly wait.

Probably a golden opportunity to buy second-hand, "outdated" models.

 :P

A Z6 with the Zf's innards would have been my ideal in February when I needed a camera. As it was, I chose the Zf over the Z6 II. It is proving quite endearing.

if the Z63 STILL live with 2450Mpix , then, maybe the A74 at similar price is better to buy

The advance guessing seems to center on video improvements: higher (better) codecs w/o need of external recorder, etc.  One consolation:  My year-old Z6II will now be cheap to replace if it should encounter a fatal accident.

I for once think my Z6 needs upgrading, most especially in sensor readout for silent shooting and reduced shutter lag. Af improvement will be welcome but those other two points are crucial for me. I'm forever spoiled afyer trying Birna’s Z9... I don't expect a stacked sensor but anything in that practical direction will do.

For the sake of 33 MP? The difference seems too trivial to be worth changing systems.

The quest is more important than the acquiring. They say.

My take:  No top display, no sale.  Sorry, Sony.

The same happened to me with Z6 until I shoot with z8 :) I was totally spoiled for my use case
Whatever specs Z6 III will have it will not be a Z8/9 unless it has…. a global shutter :o

Apparently, we only have to hold our breath until June 18th. :) Then everything will  be out in the open.

when I used to play with 36MP and 47MP DSLR for years, I will feel the difference when using 24MP

I am ready to buy a Z9 as soon as the price falls below 4000€. Not far to go now:
