Z8 is better at this point in time also Nikon has got very good lineup of wildlife lenses .

I have R5 + Rf 100-500 it’s a good but not great in low light . I am heavily invested in Canon, so it’s not easy for me to move to Nikon for me but I would recommend Nikon.

Having said that – R5 is a good all round camera and is due to renewal soon but RF lenses are very expensive. Heard that 3rd party lenses like Sigma is going to release RF lenses .

Lastly for wildlife require fast lenses

Hi Bro, It depends how much you have invested in the Sony System. Nikon Z8 & Z9 are amazing and current Nikon Lenses for wildlife are very good and affordable. But again not sure how much lenses or body you have for Sony system .

I am with Canon and I want to move to Nikon system but I have heavily invested in Canon system- multiple canon body + heaps of lenses Ef +RF , for that reason I cannot afford to switch from Canon .

So please think about it before you decide to move systems.

Thanks

If the background is too busy/ distraction – like bushes very near to subject – R5 has focusing issue. R5 focuses/ tracks subject very well if the background is far away from the bird .

Hope I was able to explain properly.
