I had to go back and dig up a D700 photo.

Yup. Image quality holds up!

…OK, that’s not entirely fair. It’s more that the image quality of the absurdly expensive lens I rented for that weekend holds up.

Putting 1k bucks in a lense is such better investment than putting the same in a camera body when it comes to image quality. Another benefit of a low resolution body, lenses don't need to be as absurdly good as they have to be for 24/66 MP plus bodies abd are correspondingly cheaper. Which leaves more money to travel to all those nice places to take nice pictures and enjoy yourself. Not that I would say no to Z9 with corresponding glass if someone gave it to me!
