I repeated your tests with all your use cases, but my word wasn't good enough for you either.

My car drives 500mph. Trust me, I do it daily on the autobahn. Takes only 2 seconds to accelerate too. You should really trust me, I'm a regular poster at dpreview forums. I will get mad and aggressive if you don't believe me.

See the flaw?

Btw the videos in itself were great, I just derived my own conclusions from them, which do not seem to match with your perception. And that is totally fine. But please don't expect from me to lower my standards (what counts as 100% reliable, what as 0%, what in between?) just because someone posted a video.  As I have stated multiple times now the pure availability of a feature does not make it perfect. And as already stated: I have learned that most people seem not to be able to quantify results.

And btw, as you seem to think that I have to defend or hype any of my cameras: The Z6 has terrible AF speed. All modern Canons are lightyears ahead. The Z6 is terrible at detecting animals. Nikons current gen body lineup is ridiculous (only Z9 on par). The Z9 is a behemoth (and not in a positive way). Canons touch and drag AF is unparalleled. Canons bodies are great in a general sense. The R8 looks like terrific value, etc. etc. etc..
