Thanks, that's really good to know because I really didn't want to have to make a bunch of changes to my editing room.
Mainly your audience will be looking in various conditions and lighting. That means cell phones, monitors at who knows where, indoors and out, prints pretty much the same. So you can't control the viewing and each condition has color variables. So do it for what you like and I guarantee you that not one person will complain about your colors. If they like the subject they will love your photo.

My question to my UHH family is, should I edit my photos in a completely dark environment or should I have some lighting in the room in which I'm editing? I was told to edit in a dark environment; however, after reading suggestions from a printing company to use a 5000 kelvin daylight environment, I'm a bit confused. So, if anyone is versed in this, please give your suggestions, thanks.
What ever is comfortable to you.
I sit in an easy chair with my laptop, TV on.
Room has lots of windows (8) but I do it day and night. Walls are a very dark maroon and white ceiling.
No one has yet to complain about the colors or anything.

I expected nothing else Bill! But the rest of us now get to deal with a different reality. The people in my life that are important enough to see my photos and videos all watch on screens of different size, brand and brightness. I don't think any of them even know what calibration might be.

I don't have that camera but it is highly recommended by reviews that I have read
You can't go wrong with it.
And as you said get some good glass.
Just remember to make sure your lenses have the built in motor and have the electronic diaphragm. So if you decide to do any further upgrade in the future at least the lenses will work. Otherwise they will not work on the Z cameras.

You said in the tittle "I thought the Z8 had an articulating screen?". You should have known, You may like it or don't like it. You may think Nikon should have done better but you should know that it doesn't have an articulating screen.
If your tillte is "Nikon should have made the Z8 with an articulating screen" then I won't say anything.

Image litter here is 99% trying to show off on a very easy subject.
It seems like here, other sites for photos is mostly birds over and over. Other wild animals are by far more difficult to capture and require far more work or we would see more of them.
But here it is just showing off another me too bird photo.

The OP said the R5 is not in their budget, and asked for a comparison between the EOS 6D Mark II and the EOS R8. Why are people talking about the R5, R6, RP, 5D IV, OM-1, Nikon Z9, and Sony A1? Why are people posting photos of birds?
Because they can't stand the idea of the OP going with a FF Canon that is 40fps and has what is rated as the best AF currently available taken from the R3 and R6M II at a price half or less than any competitor's camera.
The birds are always thrown in to bore the crap out of us with same old same old.

Then why do virtually no pros use Nikon.
Nikon is about 13% of the photo market.
Why was Sony chosen for media companies over Nikon if Nikon is so good.
I still see a vast majority of White lenses and black lenses with the L stripe, second are white with no red stripe and rarely long black lenses on college and pro sidelines.
Also Canon dominates and Sony rental equipment at Lens Rentals.

PROS AND CONS WHO HAS EXPERIENCE AND OPINIONS CANON EOS 6D MARKII VS. EOS R8.
EOS R8 vs.6D MarkII )want R5 with bottom and lots of lenses but have little money for cameras

Here is an excellent real world review by an unbiased reviewer.
Watch this all the way through and it should help you decide regarding the R8.
And again the 6D MII is pretty far behind the R series cameras.

As he says this is a review from over time use, not like a quick review of an hour or two allowed by the manufacturer.
Note that the R8 has the new multi function shoe that the R5 lacks and definitely the 6D MII lacks. Some new products coming out for the shoe will not work with the old standard shoe. The new shoe allows for wireless microphone instead of having wires hanging all over to get it to work. I believe that Sony has been doing something now for many years and Canon finally has done it as well.
Hope this helps.

Canon,
Here is a review on the R8 by a reviewer that uses Sony, Nikon and Canon cameras.
Note his discussion regarding Auto Focus of the R8 vs Sony a1 and Nikon Z8 and Z9.
https://youtube.com/watch?v=FW7We7rbk2s&si=rokubRt-NOpdHqeE
This camera should answer the question of 6D MII or R8. And it will seamlessly use all EF lenses 100% as well as RF lenses.
Hope that this helps as it discusses a wide variety of subjects beyond only good for birds.

Agreeing with all those who recommend reading online reviews and to distrust the fanbois that pervade UHH. Altho far from perfect, reviews are definitely preferable.
A large problem on UHH is that supposed "advice" on choosing a camera is hugely polluted by narrow visioned birders who recommend purchases that do not make common sense for greater photography.

The OP seems to want a camera that is great all around.
Notice the birders fanboys feel driven to show birds here even though they all look like the last crane shown.
The OP is wanting Canon, yet all that is shown is Nikon and Sony fanboy photos of birds, which is incredibly boring to a vast majority.
To the OP as you look at reviews and your budget it might be best to go with the R cameras as they do have newer technology and best in class AF. Superb for children and grandchildren as well as pets like dogs and cats. The R8 is fast, and for a fraction of the cost, it shoots at 40 frames per second bs the Sony a1 maxes out at 30 frames per second. So a serious contender with latest technology would be the R8.
Read the reviews and see how many reviewers approached the camera negatively and by the end couldn't say enough praises for the R8 and saves big bucks.

While not exactly what you ask, I have a 6D first iteration and an R5. The R5 is hands down the best camera I have ever owned. As a canon guy I’ve had Ftb, F1, Eos A2, 5D as well as Maymia and Hasselblad and 4x5’s and even an 8x10. Probably 20-30 cameras over 50+ years. The R5 beats them all.
Even the F-1?
