Canon EOS R5 Mark II

Pros: Lightness, image quality

Cons: autofocus, in my case very disappointing, perceived quality, ergonomics that can be improved

Opinion: I use both Canon and Nikon and before making a final choice I chose the way to experiment and compare the 2 systems personally. I have owned the R5 mark II for about 2 months sign updated to the latest version, main use of birds with a lens of 200 800 that I also use with the R7. The autofocus in my case is particularly ineffective especially on birds in flight, a situation in which the R5 mark II should be the excellence, I must say that with the R7 the results are much superior which is saying something. I also own a Nikon Z8 with several FX and Z lenses including the Z 180 600, consideration; weight aside, the results with Nikon are much more effective. In some cases I also came out with the two systems, so the same conditions to be clear, the same actions and predictable movements of the subject (feeding the chicks with actions to and from the nest) At 20 frames according to most of the time the Canon after 4 shots loses focus and goes into the background, the Nikon Z8 when it locks on and you are good at keeping the subject in the frame hardly lets it go. With Canon I tried all possible autofocus settings (basic: servo/animal eye detection/tracking) with very disappointing results. I thought it could be the lens (unfortunately I don't have any other telephoto lenses to compare at the moment) but why if I use it with the R7 I get much better results ?? Basically for me the R5 Mark II is a disappointment, I hope I can change my mind because in terms of weight the advantages are evident even if in terms of robustness and ergonomics the sensations when I use Nikon are more gratifying.
