I picked up an R5II to mess around with and just yesterday I was trying to shoot a Bluejay sitting on a stump about 20 feet from me. I was using the 70-200 2.8 and the camera though there was an eye on the stump somewhere and kept jumping off the bird. So none of them are perfect. I have the z8/9 with both Super Tele TCs and they work just fine. I live near the Rappahannock river and we get some of the best Osprey and Eagle fishing in the spring shad run. Neither camera has let me down but both have missed shots in challenging situations. Nikon makes the best Super teles so I have no doubts the next gen Z8/9 will be amazing and i already have the glass.
