Anyone getting excited about the Z90?

If the rumors are true, the Z90 should be coming out soon. Most claim a 33 MP crop sensor, 15 fps, precapture, and an expeed 7 processor with excellent autofocus capability. In essence, the follow on to the venerable D500, with most of the modern bells and whistles. It's supposed to come out sometime this year, perhaps in a few months, although I'm not holding my breath for that.

I upgraded to the Z7ii last year, but have not been entirely happy with the AF performance on fast moving wildlife, although I have made a few recent setting changes that have me more satisfied with it.

I'm thinking that I might pick up a Z90, if it has the features rumored. I could use my Z7ii for landscape and macro, and the z90 for birds and other critters. This would allow me to leave my long lens on the Z90 and the macro on my Z7ii and just change cameras in the field. I hate changing lens in the field, especially with mirrorless.

Anyone else keeping a close eye on this new model?

Interesting, Nikonrumors.com has not made any mention of a Z90. They tend to filter out stuff that is not likely true, but of course not perfect at that either.

I think Nikon sees DX as an entry-level thing and full-frame as the level-up.

But for myself, I have left APS-C format behind and am in a full-frame world for a long time now. When I realized DX should not be thought of as a 1.5x teleconverter built-in to the system and instead as a 33% crop of everything you photograph, then I never looked back. I can crop manually just fine.

Yes, I would be interested if it ever comes to be.

Lots of Youtube videos popping up about it lately.

Nothing official yet. Most of the videos have the same specs and features. None seem to have anything solid on release date, so it may be just smoke and mirrors. I'm hoping it's coming, and soon. I might decide it's not for me when it gets here, but I'm crossing my fingers.
