The ergonomic is very close to that of the Zfc and although I like it many people can't stand it.

If you like the ergonomics of an older style film camera the Zf may be for you. I have the Nikon Z fc, the two year old Nikon crop version of this camera, which I love, and plan to get a Zf for myself soon. The Zf is a much more advanced full frame version of the Z fc with significantly better build quality. Try to research the large number of reviews of this body available on the internet. It is not everyone's cup of tea, but it is certainly mine.

I don't own it but watch some intro vids from Nikon & others. Seems to be a nice camera. What do you shoot?, meaning if it will do what you need it to, it is (seems to be) a great camera. Any camera shops near you where you can go in & check it & other cameras out.

What camera(s) do you have now? What camera(s) have you shot previously? What Nikon (or other) lenses do you have now? How do you plan to use this camera, any camera being considered? Others will just give opinions about how that camera fits their needs. If you need a better answer than how they'd use the camera, give us some more information about you and your needs.

FWIW, Ive found one extra bonus to using a retro look camera. I can squelch undesired uninvited photographic gear discussion from strangers by making up dead ended replies.
Example: "Dont know. It was my late uncles camera and I use it to respect his memory." This way I "dont know" its $$ value or any related photo tech stuff.

It's your money. It's your decision. If you let the UHH community spend your money, nothing you have will ever be good enough to their standards.

An ancient and broken DSLR is one of the best reasons to look for a new mirrorless one. The Zf will come at a price premium, for the reasons of being brand new, and for the marketing gimmick of a retro design, and for being full-frame. But, if your old Nikon lenses are DX format for your D70, you probably want to be looking at the DX-style Nikon Zfc. The similar, cheaper and older Nikon Z50 might be an even better choice.
BTW - <quote reply> is how to engage in a back n forth discussion, via UHH reply posts.

When people see my Z fc with a manual focus prime mounted and assume I am shooting with film, I just smile and move on. If they are familiar with the Z fc and ask a reasonably informed question, and I have the time and inclination, I may try to answer it.

Theres always that "if". No hey problemo.
I was shooting spiders at 3am (they live on lighting fixtures) when someone asked if I could show them a picture. Clearly they did NOT think I was using film !
I guess they liked the pix, cuz the reaction was "Yo, thaz one really dope lens !"
