I bought a Nikon Z8 two months before the Z6 III launch – did I make a mistake?

I’d been toying with the idea of moving to mirrorless for just over a year. But with the ailing Nikon Z6 II no longer looking like a good long-term investment as a professional body, I’d pretty much decided my first dip into mirrorless waters would be the Nikon Z6 III. 

But here’s the thing. I was used to my D800’s bulbous body, tank-like build and 36.3-Mp sensor. What I really wanted was the newly released Nikon Z8. The problem was, I wasn’t in a position to drop £4,000 on a camera. So, with my D800 on its last legs, I bought a Nikon D850.
