As I noted, from a sports shooter perspective....how about Sony and their 300 2.8. Oh wait, they don't have one...
There is no R-mount 300 2.8. In fact no R-mount sports lenses at all!
If you are talking about adapting lenses, both Canon and Sony mirrorless bodies can adapt Canon EF-mount glass.
Yes, but there is a fantastic EF 300 f/2.8 IS that works wonderfully on a Canon R5 camera, so that is a lot better than anything that Sony has to offer (well accept if you adapted an A-mount 300 f/2.8 and spent 4 times as much money).
I'm willing to bet the A92 with that lens works better than the R5 does. And it won't overheat and stop working either, nor will the battery run out in a few minutes.
Sony also gives you choices about using dozens of new designed-for-mirrorless third-party lenses. Canon doesn't.
What is the third party 300 f/2.8 designed for mirrorless that I can use with my Sony A9? And I will take you up on that bet any time. Canon EF lenses on Sony bodies are limited by the reverse engineered adapter. Set up the test and I think you will see that you are wrong.
