Since canon is now openly hostile to third party lenses and Sony has excellent third party lens support and a pretty great first party mirrorless lens story i'd go Sony that said the R5 is a great camera. More on reddit.com

I had a Sony a7 iii before I switched to Canon R6 and later R6 mark ii. Have no regrets and love images, ergonomics and most important - user experience. Most important because for my content any camera at this price range will be great and the only big difference will be how much I like and want to shoot with the camera. When I was buying my R6 mark ii, I thought about R5, but then decided to left some cash for a better lens. I also prefer smaller files from R6/R6 ii than bigger files of R5. I don't crop too much and don't make large prints. Speaking about z8 - it's a fantastic camera. You can't go wrong with all of these cameras. A7 IV is great as well and you will have much wider lens selection. I just don't like the user experience on Sony, especially their crappy lcd's and evf's. It was really uncoforable to me to shoot on sunny days with my a7 iii years ago. And when I sold a7 iii and tried a7 iv I understood that it's pretty much...the same in that area. It also have some noticeable rolling shutter effect in video mode or with electronic shutter. Another thing to highlight is that A7 V is close to its release according to the rumors. About lenses, I DO miss modern Sigma and Tamron lenses on Canon (I heavily used them on Sony). You can buy some of them on Nikon, all of them on Sony and none of them for Canon RF (full frame). However, they came last year to RF-S mount (APSC), so I hope they will go fullframe in 2025, a year later, as they did on Nikon. Canon RF lenses are great, but lens selection is limited and you have to choose from cheep STM lenses and very expensive L lenses. Nikon (and Sony's Top lenses) are around the same, but they has 3rd party lenses with great IQ and reasonable prices. What system you had before? Maybe you already have some lenses you like? It will help you at the beginning. Canon's EF lenses works awesome with R bodies. Also good idea to go to store or rent and check all cmeras - their egonomics especially. For photo purposes you mentioned - they're more than enough. Hope it helped and sorry for my English - it isn't my native language. More on reddit.com

Avoir un appareil photo que vous aimez utiliser est beaucoup plus important que les spécifications techniques et autres.

Donc, si vous appréciez plus le Canon et êtes plus susceptible de l'utiliser et d'être créatif avec : Changez. Sinon, ne changez pas.

Quant aux performances, il y a toujours quelque chose de mieux, mais honnêtement, si vous ne pouvez pas travailler avec le A7 IV, parmi tous les appareils photo, c'est vous, pas l'appareil photo. Donc, même si théoriquement meilleur, est-ce que cela compte vraiment en pratique.
