The new Nikon Z6 and Z7, as far as I know, are the only cameras that are officially compatible with the new CFexpress standard. The first Delkin CFexpress sample units should be available in Q3 2018 and production is scheduled for Q4 2018 (Delkin already started selling their first XQD cards). Here the Delkin CFexpress memory card speed ratings:

I just posted this on PhotoRumors, but I think it will be also of interest for [NR] readers how Canon will approach their full frame mirrorless solution. Here is the leaked Canon EOS R full frame mirrorless lens roadmap – the official announcement is next week (September 5th):
With the new Z6 and Z7 mirrorless cameras, Nikon also announced three new S-line mirrorless full frame lenses (additional information is available here):
The three new lenses are supposed to be very sharp based on the reports I have seen online and yes, they are not cheap. Keep in mind that the new S-line will be the top of the line series of mirrorless lenses (every S-line lens has Nano coating).

Now, let’s take a look at the MTF charts of the new S-line lenses – here are some comparisons with similar/current F-mount lenses:
There is some more fake news I need to debunk today (again) – Amazon’s sales rankings are not an indication that a certain camera model sells better than another camera model (I have been repeating this for years). Here are the current Amazon mirrorless camera best sellers:
