Nice shots, I started with Canon in 2004 and left in 2014 for Nikon now I am actually thinking of moving back to Canon but waiting to see what the Z9 brings before I do. I am eyeing the R5 and the RF 100-500 but how is the background blur at 500mm?

Thanks.  The bokeh is what you'd expect from an f/7.1 lens:  not bad, actually quite decent, but also not what you are going to get from a faster lens. That is where money makes the difference:  as pricey as the RF 100-500 is, it is a steal when you compare it to f/2.8 or f/4 teles.
