Z8 is made in Thailand. Canon R5, R1 are made in Japan. Labor cost is always higher in Japan.



Build quality seems to be better from Japan, too. That's one of the first things I noticed when I traded my Z8 for an R5.


Did you really find issues with the build quality of the Z8? It’s nothing short of outstanding.

If Canon is better, and I would agree that it is a bit bette, it’s by a tiny amount that is completely irrelevant to photography.


Enjoyment in using the equipment matters to me. How it feels to hold, ergonomics etc. It's subjective of course.

I think with decent photography skills, you probably can't tell apart which photo you took was taken with which camera (Z8 vs R5II etc). But the enjoyment in using it is something I care, not just getting the shot.


Agreed but the Z8 is extremely enjoyable to use. The UI is perfect, the feel is great, quality materials are used and above all the EVF is the best there is.

It would not have been selected by all media outlets as the best camera of the year and been one of the best selling cameras of 2023/2024 despite its high price of it’s UI were nothing short of oustanding.

Again, I am not disputing the fact that the feel of the R3 in the hand may be even a bit nicer. But we are discussing about the difference btwn outstanding and best there is.
