The Canon R5 C is superior for shooting video to the Z9 camera and there are the Canon cine lenses and better integration for 8K recording with the Atomos recorders.
I have two Z9 cameras and so well understand the limitations for video, as well as for autofocus with eye detection which is very good but not quite as good as with Canon and Sony cameras at the present time.
Have you used the R5C? I read it has a very short recording time with the internal battery and so either external power or a bunch of batteries are needed to use it in practice. Also there are complaints about small HDMI connector and the long delay when switching between stills and video modes.
Without doubt Sony, Canon and Panasonic have an edge in the video recording community as they have been at it a longer time and are established brands, whereas Nikon is a comparative newcomer. Post-processing workflows have been optimized for the established brands.
However, Nikon has the advantage that since they don't have higher-end cinema lineups to protect, they can go all-out in their implementations of video in the hybrid cameras. They also seem to be paying a lot of attention to focus breathing etc. in the Z lenses.
However, in the comparison between R5(C) and Z8/Z9 for stills, the latter have 1/270s read time for stills and that means the electronic shutter can be used without penalty in still photography, thus if photographing a subject that can be distracted by shutter sound and yet has fast movement, the Nikons have an advantage. Also there are more fps rate options.
