I have the R5 and the Sony A7c. For center-point focus and recompose and tracking virtually any spot in the frame, the R5 cannot compare to the Sony real time focus

This has been the subject of much past discussion. Many people do not even recognize the value of the ability to lock on any focusable spot in the frame and recompose.

Yes, sometimes the R5 will track any random object/spot but it is totally unreliable. Frequently you will see many small blue squares dancing about randomly - regardless of what some users report here. At least that is my experience with the R5. I am unfamiliar with other R bodies

Just use center point focus/recompose without servo unless dof is very critical for the focus point.
