Nikon Z or DSLR? Which is the better choice for plenty of AI-s and AFD lenses?

I don't mind being a few years behind. I'm not a pro. A D810 or D7500 still does an amazing job. Technology changes enough that being >10 years behind is a disservice to the digital photographer, .........

I think in most cases it isn't even a disservice:
If a camera gave you excellent quality in the past, it will do exactly the same now .
I have doubts that in a blind test anyone of us could identify e.g. the difference from a 2008 Nikon D3x or Canon EOS 5D Mk.II to a 2022 Nikon D6 or Canon EOS 1 Dx Mk.III. If we look at prints or the full picture on a monitor.
Or if we look at all the amazing work today - even professional - photographers are doing with 30, 40, 50 years old or even older cameras.

I am not in the same boat. In the sense that I am going back to film, investment wise.
But good for Sony making an A to E adapter that supports their screwdriver motor powered lenses

I hope Nikon would make the same with Z adapters -- for the sake of supporting peoples investment in their autofocus offerings before the SSM motors.
