This says it all of course.

When talking about a high quality Canon 50mm f/1.4 we're still in the dawn of the EF mount if not FD mount.

Chris - he would choose the R6II over the A74 if he were shooting sports and action - he says the subject action AF keeps up with the 40 fps...AMAZING. He says he'd chose the A74 for slower general photography for the slightly higher resolution and 3rd party support. For video, Jordon likes the R6II over the A74 for reasons stated here:

Canon EOS R6 Mark II Final Review - YouTube

if using the great zooms with great AF - canon is hard to beat with speed, AF action and pj work

though those lens AF motors are impressive and the small size is impressive with your A74, the speed of the sony body and af acquisition in low light for zooms lags behind

the big picture - a camera alone cannot take a shot.  A lens alone cannot take a shot.  It takes the combo.  Everything has its compromises including price.  Looking at the R8/R6II galleries here, the RF 85 F2IS  and RF 24-105 F4L will work very well for me.  And if I need 50 fov, the M6II + 32 f1.4 with spot focus has not let me down

yes I'd like a RF 50 f1.4 with speedy AF motors for action.  But I also want the speed and price and size of an R8

to each their own - and as Chris said, there is not a bad choice between the Sony and the Canon
