I have not heard anything about a Z7.
Judging from the Z7 name, it would probably be the Z5 with 7 megapixels. I don't see any big advantage to 7 megapixels unless you are planning on printing some very large photos.

Getting ready to pull the plug on a Z5 (for a gift to be given in June) and my wife said a guy at the local camera store told her a Z7 was coming out in the near term future.
Anyone heard of this one?
Thanks.
