Canon EOS R8 Review (the-digital-picture.com)

Bryan has the R5 vs R8 speeds here

12 .5 ms for the R8 vs 16.3 ms of R5 - a 12% improvement over the R5

The R7 is 31 ms which is 250% worse than the R8

for me, FF all the way since we also have affordable long RF lenses

You probably wanted to write "14.5ms".

Other articles show slightly different numbers, for example DPReview states (for R6 II): "In terms of rolling shutter, we measured it as 18ms (1/56 sec).", which would be quite a bit higher. For the R5 dpreview states: "At a measured readout rate of 16.2ms". Hard to say who is spot on.

It is safe to assume though that R5, R8 and R6 II are very similar with minor differences, that will not be discernible in the final image. I have not seen any other data that would contradict this.

Preordered the R8 as well btw, as a companion to the R5.
