Re: Canon R5 or R6 Mark II or something else altogether...

Little late to the party.  Hopefully you grabbed that R5.

Pretty much all mirrorless are good for sports so I would definitely go for MP.  I suspect you will usually be cropping with these lenses so all the MP you can get will help.

The R5 and Z7 II are pretty well matched.  I keep reading Nikon Z AF is not as good as Canon RF AF and yet Nikon users never seem to complain.  I would do some research there as it would obviously be easier and less expensive to stick with Nikon.  You could replace your Nikon lenses over time.

With Canon you certainly do not HAVE to buy RF lenses either.  You could buy used EF glass until Canon fills out their RF system.
