Assuming you'll get both the Z6 and Z7 how do you differentiate the bodies in actual daily use (without looking up the Z6 or Z7 on the body front)?

Colored straps, tape, stickers or glue on the body, grip or display, different viewfinder configuration...

I always though the M/A - M text was overly complicated. A - M are enough, no matter how it functions.

The old screwdriver lenses with a focusmode ring (e.g. 85/1.4 AFD) had the “A - M” text too, and couldn’t combine AF with manual focus...

Which is why they had to add the M/A to differentiate. But screwdrive is seldom seen these days.

Similar to the Sony a7III vs the a7RIII, besides the MP and AF sensor differences I hope the body will be the same for both models as with the early Sony the basic model was mainly made of plastics while the high MP model was made of magnesium.

... and here I'm already thinking that 51 AF for the D800 are way to many

So far I see no reason for buying one of those
including the three lenses.

Why? It would be interesting to better understand your reasoning.
Based on the inofficial specs the Z6 alone appears smaller and 100g lighter than the Df with an amazing (potential) performance, equal or better than the D5/D500/D850 generation...

I concur.  Holding off all judgement until I see some reviews from reliable sources and using one myself.   My hope is that it is capable of being just as good if not better than the D750.  If it can do that and I can use all my current f-mount lenses....it is a win-win all around.

I want the benefits of live histograms and WYSIWYG exposures in the viewfinder
I want to not have to struggle with AF fine tuning on lenses.
I want the ability to shoot in silent mode or near silent
I want to be able to take advantage of the awesome new lens mount and get smaller FX lenses
I want the ability to use my old AIS lenses with IBIS and focus peaking on a better sensor than my current m43 cameras.   a
