As I mentioned before about the possibility of a Nikon Z series APS-C camera there is now a rumour. https://nikonrumors.com/2019/09/10/new-nikon-design-patent-for-the-grip-of-the-nikon-z-aps-c-mirrorless-camera.aspx/

It is interesting that since the days of roll film cameras the body shape has remained basically a rectangular box on the end of a cylindrical lens - with an EVF I guess you could have a pistol shaped body?

They seem to have increased the grip to make it easier to hold at arms length. Because without a viewfinder that's what we would have to do. A camera without a viewfinder, be that optical or electronic, is a non starter for me.

Perhaps this link might provide some impartial info and feedback? For those reluctant to hit a link with no obvious description, it's A Nikon Mirrorless Safari, with two Z bodies, by Thom Hogan http://www.sansmirror.com/newsviews/a-nikon-mirrorless-safari.html

Interesting read of Thom's safari. Seems like he is happy as I am. I just wish there was an APS-C mirrorless with Nikon F mount. I have only found a couple of wrinkles with mirrorless. 1. Need to use the D8 (LiveView preview) switch on/off when I move between using flash and normal light. 2. Strong backlighting makes for silhouettes in EVF as it is influenced by the strong backlighting. 3. XQD cards are fine but I dont shoot video or big still sequences so I dont need crazy fast cards. I would like an adapter that allows me to use SD card in an adapter in the XQD slot. I am sure some clever Chinese company will make one in the next year or so!

Your right Chris. I just prefer the dx for wildlife.
