Since the Z8 is the R5II's closest competitor, one big win for the Canon is size and weight. I can carry two R5II's and an RF 35.14 for the same weight as just two Z8's without a lens. There's about a 1 pound difference between two R5II's and two Z8's. The R5II is also more compact for those who care.
Don't forget the extra batteries you need for the Z8. In my real world, day-to-day shooting I get almost double the battery life with the R5 compared to the Z8, and the new batteries for the R5II should improve on that (although it's a pain to have to buy a bunch of new batteries).
Good point for those of us who haven't used the Z8, that's another win for the R5/R5II. I'm wondering if the new Canon batteries simply have more juice to cover the extra bandwidth/features like precapture, etc. or if the new batteries will actually result in longer battery life? It seems like a feature like precapture would cause quite a bit of battery drain if turned on at all times?
I read somewhere that the mah are the same but the batteries are just capable of supplying more faster.
