Canon R5II - Amazon

The Canon R5 Mark II is Canon’s 45 MP option with 30 fps bursts, and it has a strong accessory ecosystem around it. I like that Canon offers things Nikon doesn’t here—like the multi-function hot shoe and an optional cooling system—so for long-form video it can be the more convenient platform.

Pros

+30 fps burst capability for fast action starts
+Better battery life rating than Z8 in this comparison
+Accessory ecosystem: multi-function hot shoe and optional cooling solution

Cons

-Buffered repeatedly in my burst tests, even at 20 fps
-Dynamic range recovery and color retention looked worse in my extreme push/pull tests
-AF tracking was less consistent for me in my video/photo tests
