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

My kids play all kinds of sports ice hockey lacrosse basketball soccer baseball and I'm currently shooting an R5 and various lenses.

For general purpose I would get either the R5 or the R6 or the R6 Mark II and a 24 105 F4 or even the 24-105 STM which is nice and light. Both are going to keep you a happy for a while get one or two fast primes and you're all set.

For your baseball get the Canon RF 100-400 currently selling for $499 in the United States and for your hockey get either a used EF 70-200 or the 70 200 F4.

Today's cameras can shoot at extraordinarily high ISO. Let the camera do the noise reduction and you're going to have really nice results. You just don't have to worry about noise these days so I really think an RF 70 to 200 F4 is probably going to work for hockey in all but the absolute darkest dingiest ranks of which there aren't very many left these days at least where I am in the USA
