OIS/IBIS works very well on this combo-
I have very bad hand tremors "Double R" so I need IBIS that WORKS!!! Most of the time I can up the ISO/shutter..shoot.. and it will be an "OK" composition but still wanting!
Your images are rock solid!

I've been too busy with work to get out there but still want to play with the R5II. Just a quick test of 240fps functionality. Upscaled from 2K to 4K, slowed down to 24fps, and some quick grading in Resolve.
Speaking of work... a couple of work-related snaps from a couple of weeks ago:
I haven't used a Canon since my DSLR days (Canon 5D II/III), and then ended up using Sony gear for the last several years. With a new grandson, I decided to give my daughter alot of my Sony gear and try out something new. I have been using a Nikon Z8 for the past several months, and it is a great camera, but the Canon R5 Mark II and RF glass seems like it might be a better fit for me.
I shoot a bit of everything, but right now the focus is on family portraits, landscape and wildlife. I have a R5 Mark II, 14-35 f/4, 24-105 f/4, 100-500 f/4.5-7.1 and a 50 f/1.2 on the way. I may add a few more primes if the system works out, and if so I will likely sell off the Nikon gear. Hopefully, will post here soon.
I put my R5II's and a host of RF lenses to the acid test this past weekend shooting a three day air show. This was really a shakedown cruise for my relatively new MKII bodies and the Rf100-500, RF600/4, and a brand new RF24-105/2.8. I shot in low light, shot subjects doing 400 knots all over the sky, really threw everything at these cameras, bottom line, they were more than up to the task.
I've dedicated my R5 Mk2 to one lens, the Canon 200-400 f4 w/ internal 1.4x. I'm trying to get good at birds in flight. Every week I end up with one favorite. Here is this week's highlight for me.
R5II after dark. Testing the "unofficial second base ISO" of 4000 claim and it really does clean up quite a bit. For some reason YT compression is doing a number on this one, but in reality it looks much cleaner. Shot in C-Log 2 and some quick grading in Resolve.
And a long-ish exposure still for good measure.

Is it correct to assume the Flying Mobula Ray is a PreCapture shot?
It hadn't crossed my mind that PreCapture should make it much easier to capture fish, whales, etc. jumping out of the water. I've always found those extremely difficult, because its so hard to predict both where and when the jump will occur. PreCapture will help to solve the "when" problem.

It (precapture) will not help in these situations.
Precapture only works when subjects are pre-watched. Meanwhile, it only works when the subjects were focused or at least were in the frame before you press the shutter release, or example a perched bird.
The jumping fish, dolphins, accident event come from nowhere, they were not pre watched by the camera, no subject data was rolling in the buffer memories, nothing to record from the “past”.
I had shot above scenes a few times. A dot sight helps a lot.
