Both the Nikon Z9 and the Nikon D850 replacement are rumored to have a 60MP sensor:
- There will be 2 more Nikon mirrorless cameras announced this year, one of them should be high-end/pro (Z8?)
- The Z9 is rumored to have dual SD and CF express cards slots, vertical grip option, pro body, higher price tag (previous rumors suggested two CF Express cards)
- The high-end mirrorless Z camera will be announced before the Nikon D850 replacement
- Nikon D850 replacement is not expected in 2020, maybe in 2021
