For those interested, The Nikon Z6 II and the Nikon Z7 II have been announced, and can be pre-ordered below. I’m also done with reviewing the Nikon Z5, and will be posting it soon.
Here are some of the specs for the Z6 II:

- In-camera charging or continuous power for on-the-go charging or extended shooting with USB Type-C.
