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.

The Z9 is no doubt the better camera than R5 , but by how much depends on your main use of the camera.

They both do 20fps@45, but don't forget that the speed of Z9 is built around lossy raw.

Nope.

The manual says 79 with lossless raw, also confirmed by Ricci:Ricci Talks: Z9 Buffer Tests: Nikon Z Mirrorless Talk Forum: Digital Photography Review (dpreview.com)

So it's clear that the endless buffer is with one of the compressed raw formats. To make it clear I think that's a good thing. The amount of data the high fps generates produce lots of heat.

I don't mind lossy raw at all, and will be shooting cRaw on R5.
