I am totally unfamiliar with the Z series, I am following the thread partly in the hope of learning something, your 'Y' confused the heck out of me! On a more serious note, I think we need to check what we type is accurate, many people will visit this thread expecting to learn something about the Z9 and some may go away confused? It certain;y had me scratching my head!

The NEED is for the manufacturer because the alignment of mirrors, focus sensor and focusing screen is a skilled job and thus costly. A mirrorless camera doesn't need any alignment and thus doesn't require the skilled technician to do it. Since the Z9 is no cheaper than the D6 one must assume an increased profit margin. Removing the mirror obviously removes the vibration and noise (actually the same thing just different frequencies). I am not sure that wear is as much of an issue as many think, especially in amateur hands. Many commentators in the photographic press are so absolutely convinced of the superiority of the mirrorless camera over the SLR that they have closed their eyes to the disadvantages, battery life for example. Most of them are younger than I am and thus more disposed to accept the disadvantages in exchange for convenience. They will tell you that being able to see the effects of exposure compensation before shooting is essential, it isn't, anyone who uses or has used film will be experienced in judging the effect without seeing a preview simply because a preview isn't possible. Of course, if you want what the EVF offers you can switch but personally I prefer the freedom to shoot all day without the need to carry spare batteries. Mirrorless is just another tool in the box, you can still do the job without it but sometimes it might make the job easier.

I am totally unfamiliar with the Z series, I am following the thread partly in the hope of learning something, your 'Y' confused the heck out of me! We are talking about the Z9 ? But when considering a £multi thousand camera it's only right to consider what you get for your money. Hence my post about the compromises to be made when switching from DSLR to mirrorless. Some of which call into question the whole ethos of mirrorless. Of course as Geoff points out many younger people aren't coming to the mirrorless party with as many preconceived comparisons. I previously considered the exposure preview an advantage, but have lately switched it off as it can be a distraction in low light. Far better to rely on ones experience on exposure setting which served us well during the predigital days. But I am sure many will buy the Z9

Well I like or even prefer the EVF for some/most shooting but there are instances where the DSLR still wins which is why I havent moved totally to Fuji or Sony. I really like the specs for the Sony cameras but I really dislike their menus. I havent tried the A1 or latest A7R series cameras but all the ones I looked at about 5-6years ago the menus were horrible. Designed by a monkey on crack! The lenses are very nice but they should be as they have only just finished updating and extending the range. Regarding future cameras. I see no reason to upgrade to a Z9 or even a Z7ii. What will come in Z8? I am waiting for the Fuji XH2 and will decide whether I move totally to Fuji or just stick with what I have with a mix of Nikon and Fuji. I actually have all I need in the Fuji and I prefer the XT3 to any camera since the Nikon F3, the D3S is close behind the XT3, really only due to it bulk and weight. I must go and see if I can get a hands on with an A1. Eric, any chance of you coming down this way? I know Land Rovers need a run out to keep them in good order. My Discovery did 120k miles before I sold it, and it never missed a beat.

The menu system on the A1 is entirely different to the previous Sony menus. For one thing it's vertical like most other cameras It's different to the Nikon but now more intuitive to follow ..apart from some of the Sony terminology and the sheer amount of options!!
