As soon as I posted it I thought to myself "Someone is going to ask why not the R5?"

Because the R5 was shooting video at the time, and that was the priority - especially in that light. The R5 can only shoot 7 fps with the 300 2.8 IS USM which is a bit of a drawback but in lighting like that, it's obviously worth it.

Ahhhh.  That makes sense.  Though, I wonder if the speed boosted M6 II for video and R5 for photos might have made more sense (if you are not shooting 8k).  Given the image degradation on the periphery of the frame, I have tended to find speedboosters far more useful for video where the 16:9 ratio crops out a lot of the defects, and there tends to be less pixel peeping for video.
