I hope this is wrong and we do see the update in the Z8.  I have asked the question to Nikon hopefully many Z8 owners will do the same in the meantime lets see what Nikon come back with

Nikon kills loyalty by using software to remove features their hardware platforms are capable of performing; my personal experience with this was finding out that my d-500 could not do some of the things my d-850 could do when the only real difference was the physical size of the sensor- and the price point. I needed a lighter camera for field work, which is why I bought the d-500 to start with- only to discover Nikon had crippled it so it wouldn't compete with the D-850. I learned my lesson. I sold my 3 Nikon bodies and 8 Nikon lenses and bought Canon equipment, and I can't imagine ever buying again from a company that literally breaks its own products to protect its profits.
