Thinking about buying a full frame body

On the contrary, I think Nikon will continue to release new DSLRs and lenses. The intention is to enter a new market and keep the old, developing each technology and their strengths.

That, of course, depends on the behavior of the buyers.  Interestingly, the rear panel of the new D3500 looks very similar to that of Z bodies.  The buttons on the left side of the screen are totally gone, even though the screen is fixed.

Apparently, D3500 has the double function as entry model both for the DSLR and Z.

The D850 did not even unleash its full potential. Nikon could have sold more if it had been able to deliver. Now we know that their energy was elsewhere

We dont know how the path of F and Z coexistence will evolve

Nevertheless if you are buying a D850 now it wont become obsolete very soon, and given the  Z-Roadmap the number of native lenses for the D850 will exceed anything you will have for say a Z7 in the near to midterm- future
