There is some vague info about a possible upgrade of picture profiles, which hopefully would trickle down (and up) to other cameras.

Those picture controls can be applied in post for other cameras in the latest NX Studio version, try the Flexible Picture Control that provides a lot of extra settings. It can even be applied to my D40x files.

Had the opportunity to briefly attend a hands-on presentation of the Z6III today. The viewfinder (which is imho the most remarkable feature of this camera) appears to be a significant improvement over what we had up to now - the daylight gap to SLR is at least smaller now.

Yeah, it was disappointing.

I picked up a used Z8 for $200 more than the retail price of the Z6 III.
It included a couple of Cfe cards an SD card and an FTZ, all of which I will just sell, this will push the price of the Z8 to below that of a new Z6 III.

I have been using a Z6 for quite some time.  The upgrade is significant but feels like nothing for my work, I will even bet that in the realms of read noise for low light stills, the partially stacked sensor will be worse than the old Z6.  If I wanted that, I might as well get a Z8 with the stacked sensor.  I can downsample my fluorescence microscopy images for similar results, and reap the benefits of 45Mpix for lower magnifications.

5 years for this. 

As for the image I posted, someone sent it to me.  They also sent it to Nikon Rumours.

For me the form factor alone was deceive enough to choose the Z8 over the Z6 III camera, with large hands it's quite obvious  ;)
But, I am looking forward to try Z6 III out to see the difference in the viewfinder to Z8 and Z9.

Morten Hilmer took it out in the field:

Seems to be pretty horse-proof (23:30)  ;D
