Although there is an attraction from the old styles, I have to say my bare metal cameras always collected more visible scratches. The black plastic coatings are more to my liking these days.

I am not getting this....in this day and age of mobile phones used by everyone to take pics., one would think that Nikon would focus on Pro-camera`s, unless aps-c is considered the new pro-format ??

Looks interesting but for APS-C I have Fuji cameras.

The black plastic coatings are more to my liking these days. I've got one that I'm working on reviewing at the moment and hate to say the whole thing is plastic. Supposedly magnesium top and bottom plus some strengthening around the mount - though they could have fooled me. Overall it's basically a Z50 with the Z6 II focus system in a less ergonomic body.

So will this replace the D500 or is it an as well as item. I like the styling apart from the Z mount. I have to say I am nudging towards the idea that I wont be buying another Nikon.

At this stage, it is a well as. IMO, Nikon like to make life difficult for their users. One only needs to look at the user complex functionality of HDR and focus bracketing compared to Fuji and Olympus. Another issue I've found with the Z bodies, and this could also be due to me not having a setting right in the menu, is when taking photos with the camera inverted (required for many native orchids and fungi including some of the ghost fungi), the image remains inverted in preview (not LV), and computer import. With the Z50 and Zfc there is no remote available with 1/2 push for focusing, and is not an option which will be supported.
