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

Flashback:

• Nikon executive confirms Nikon will release a pro model like the D5 in the Z-line
• Nikon CEO confirmed a new mirrorless camera equivalent to the D5 is coming
• First indications of the rumored Nikon camera with 60MP and 16-bit NEF files
• Rumors: Nikon signed up to purchase the new Sony 60MP sensor (IMX455)
• The rumors about a new Nikon Z8 camera with a 60MP sensor make more sense today

The Coronavirus, of course, can change everything written above.
