Advice: Used R5 R6 mk ii for Hockey

[Hitechi]

Hello everyone,

Wanted to get everyone's take for what I should consider for my first foray into the mirrorless bodies.

Currently using the 5d mk 4 and I mainly shoot jr ice hockey most of the year and triple a baseball in the spring/summer. The occasional portraits sessions on the side. I'm in the midst of the hockey playoffs now and want to get something before baseball starts up.

I'm in the market and looking at a used r5 or the r6 mk 2. Which body would you go with?

Hi Hitechi
I am also in the business of shooting junior ice hockey since my dear grandson is playing it. I started shooting it many years ago with EOS 5D MKIV, the results were good. In 2020 I switched to R5 and I am using it regularly now. I dont have experience on R6 II but personally I am not missing anything while using my R5. The speed on 20 fps is quite fast enough believe me. And on account on R5:s higher MP You can do heavy cropping. So my opinion is; choose R5.
