Just some thoughts
I have used Nikon DSLRs for two decades. About three years ago I first bought a Nikon Z6 II mirrorless camera, switched that for a Canon EOS R5, and later sold the Canon gear and got a Nikon Z7 II, all within about a year. Last summer I added the Nikon Z8 to my collection of mirrorless cameras. Was the switch from DSLR to mirrorless cameras an upgrade?

In 2010 I bought my third digital camera, the Nikon D700. It was my first camera with a full-frame sensor. Before this, I had the Nikon D70 for six years.
