I predict Nikon will acquire FujiFilm within the next five years.

If the prime reason you're looking at a Nikon Z camera is because of its smallish size, you might consider checking out Nikon's Df full-frame DSLR... I have two (one in black and one in silver) and I love them. In addition to being smaller than current upper-end Nikon DSLRs, the Df has the same sensor as the legendary Nikon D4, and it works with all Nikon F mount lenses going back to the 1970's. You can buy a refurbished one directly from Nikon at https://www.nikonusa.com/en/nikon-products/product/refurbished-dslr-cameras/nikon-df-refurbished.html...

Could be a white balance issue... Did you have the white balance set correctly?

Any chance you may have visited some distilleries on your trip and sampled various whiskies?

I had a D810 for about a year, but didn't like it as much as my older Df. So I sold the D810 on eBay for about $1,250 and bought a new D850. The D850 is much better than the D810 in terms of faster autofocus and better low light performance.

I've been using a SONY 32GB XQD G card for about a year, and have never had any problems downloading images on it to my Macbook Pro Photos application using a SONY XQD / SDXC II card reader. A quick check on Amazon shows these cards are available in 32, 64, 120 and 240 sizes, so the 128 and 256GB cards you have may have been discontinued. Maybe you should check the SONY web site and see if there are any comments about problems with the 128 and 256GB cards. Does your iMac recognize the SONY reader and XQD card when you plug it in for a download?

I have a 10R that's only about 9 months old so I will not be buying a new iPhone 11... Plus I'm still paying off my D850, which I use for real photos.

For my D850 I've been using a Sony Professional XQD G Series 32GB Memory Card (QDG32E/J) as my main memory card in the XQD slot plus a SanDisk Extreme Pro 128GB SDXC UHS-I Card (SDSDXXG-128G-GN4IN) in my SDXC slot (along with a Sony MRW-E90/BC2 XQD USB 3.0 Reader for both the XQD and SDXC cards to upload photos to my Macbook Pro). Cards and reader work great and all are available on Amazon.com.

I recently inherited about 10,000 slides my father shot in the 1940's through 1990's, including photos of my brother and me growing up in the 50's and 60's. I searched for scanners to convert them from 35mm to digital, but instead decided to buy a Nikon ES-1 Slide Copying Adapter extension tube that I could place on my AF Micro-Nikkor 60mm 2.8D lens to dupe the slides (https://www.nikonusa.com/en/nikon-products/product/slide-copy-adapters/es-1-slide-copying-adapter-for-52mm-thread.html#tab-ProductDetail-ProductTabs-Overview). The results amazed me and confirmed that Dad was a pretty good photographer with his old Kodak 35mm camera. Photos as old as 1942 turned out great with a little trial-and-error and minor edit tweaking using the Photos software built into my Macbook Pro. The Slide Copying Adapter cost about $62 on Amazon. It's been a very time consuming process, but the final digital products were worth the effort (plus I was able to throw out four or five boxes of old 35mm slides). See some of the results...

I have a D850 and two Nikon Df's, which I love. If I were to add (gulp) a fourth Nikon camera to my arsenal, I'd go for a crop-sensor D500 to go with my D850. The D500 is destined to become (if it hasn't already become) a legendary Nikon camera, and its relatively compact size coupled with FX lenses would be a powerful complement to the D850 for wildlife, sports and action shooting. Check out some of the YouTube reviews for the D500. A couple of informative D850 versus D500 comparative videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_17fkPddCms and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJSAAMcLMZo

I recently stepped-up from a D810 to the D850, and boy I'm glad I did. Go with the D850 for the best all around DSLR camera experience you can currently get, and spend some of the money you saved on some really good Nikkor FX glass.
