The Z8 is a better camera than the R5, full stop. On paper is it literally everything I have been hoping for, and it is priced well. I have been shooting the R5 and R6 for a couple of years now, and will be buying a Z8 in the near future if they become available. Canon is behind now. The Z8 is basically akin to the mirrorless version of the D850. That camera did a lot for nikon's market presence for a couple of years at the prosumer end of the market, and the Z8 may do the same. Should Canon panic--certainly not, they are still much bigger than Nikon. But it is a shame that nikon is beating canon to the punch in the prosumer market...as well as in the wildlife/sports lens end of the market. Canon would do well to speed up the release of the R5ii as they are now behind the market a bit.
