z9 is a slightly better R5 for $1600 more.

I'm a proud owner of an R5 and I don't believe that assertion for a second. The z9 is better than the R5 in almost every way.

Bingo!

My R6 is a focusing beast. I'll be amazed if the Z9 can beat it.

It's never a bad thing to dream. As long as you're not too disappointed in what ends up reality. Just about EVERY camera I've ever seen hit the market does NOT reach it's level of perfection that the marketing portrays. That is what marketing is for. To raise your expectations. So don't get too carried away. The Z9 is a pro beast, large body to be sure. The viewfinder doesn't have the rez of the R5. It may provide blackout free results in high speed shooting. But the blackout on a R5 is so minimal it's sad of one complains too badly. Sure battery life on that beast is great. But if I have my grip on with both batteries loaded it's in that ballpark as well. The focusing is what I do believe I'll end up arguing. I doubt that a focus point design with 1/3 of the focus points will exceed the already well accomplished dual pixel design of the R5 which has 3x the number of focus points to work with. We shall see. I'm not expecting to be surprised at all.

Name the gear and I've probably owned it and used it.
