I'm sure it's a good camera. A very good camera, but the R1 is only very slightly faster than the Z8's readout, despite having half the resolution.
Have we seen any measurements of the R1 readout speed yet? Closest I've seen is the flash sync speed which is 2x as fast as the Z8.
From Canon's official technical specs, the R1 can flash sync at 1/320s, but that's with electronic first curtain shutter (so it uses the mechanical shutter for the second curtain). Z8 is 1/200s, so it's not twice as fast. Also, the R1 does 1/200s in full mechanical. The official technical specifications don't list a sync speed in electronic shutter mode, and in fact have a listing that says that flash is not available in electronic shutter mode. (Nor can it be used for HDR, multiple exposure, multi shot noise reduction, AEB, HDR PQ, or anti-flicker shooting (say what?).
That's honestly just utterly baffling.
Could you link to where you see that? The only official value I've seen is here
Greater usability with Speedlites: The EOS R1’s faster sensor readout speed enables flash photography support even during continuous shooting in the electronic shutter mode. The flash sync speed is the EOS R series’ highest at 1/400 sec, allowing more flexibility to use a wide aperture or freeze action without resorting to high-speed sync.

Ok, this is all starting to drive as that only lists the mechanical shutter modes. Looks like the electronic shutter sync speed is significantly faster.
