Wow. $4200 for a camera with a slower read out speed than a Z8? Any word on zebras? RAW pre-capture?
At the speeds we're talking about now, the differences are meaningless to probably 99.9% of the users out there. The huge thing you're missing, that DOES mean a lot to ALL users, is the R5II has a vastly superior AF system to the Z8 and even Z9.
That alone, coupled with the fast sensor, is a massive upgrade from the already outstanding R5.
The one thing I'm a little bummed about with this R5II is that they didn't give it the same revolutionary cross-type AF as they have developed for the R1. That's a huge advancement and one that all mirrorless bodies from all manufactures have struggled to overcome. Canon finally did it!
Olympus did it ages ago. I guess Canon will do it in a camera aimed at bird photographers in 2029??
And Sony will follow in 2032.
Yeah...maybe...don't really see Sony doing it at all. Doesn't really need to as just picking a smaller AF point the camera will drive from far to near without issue. Also they've now added via FW the slick implementation of distance pre-set...assign to any custom key (which we know Sony has more than anyone) and long-press to set, quick press to recall....Nikon requires two buttons to be wasted to do the same thing. I can't remember if Canon has this feature now
