A low cost high res camera not likely

It sounds like what you are looking for is a low price higher res camera. Honestly... I don't think Canon has an interest in competing with the Z7 II in its price range. Also, I'd imagine Nikon is taking a beating at that price, but are forced to do it just to move units. Nikon is surely still making money on it, but likely significantly less than ideal. Not sure Canon wants to join that low margin high cost club (I say high cost because I'd bet the floor for what you want is around $3100).

Even using bargain basement components from other models, there's going to be some serious costs associated. Lots of R&D to make the low cost stuff work correctly, and then they have to consider the line segmentation they'd be creating. Overall, I'd put the odds as very low on the camera you want ever materializing.
