Ummm..... This put my stomach in a knot...
See the image. This is directly from the Manual. Still image shooting is effected by HEAT and images will degrade in quality and can stop shooting. This is terrifying... I get it. 8k overheats. But shooting stills..... I really don't know what to think about this...
Saw that too.... guess we will stay tune for this. shame though that none of the so call reviewers are even talking about this....
This is crucial
This is likely for people that put it in 20fps mode and press the shutter button... forever. R5 is going to be a fine, if not currently the best, photography camera.
Reviewers don't test a lot of photography features because everybody seems to have decided that R5 vs A7s is a thing, instead of the more obvious R5 vs A7r (and maybe even A9). We can partially attribute this also to Canon marketing that is getting away with a black eye here - they led the R5 introduction with video features that turned out to have a few limits - independent reviewers love this. Instead they could have led with photography features: class leading AF+IBIS, 12/20fps, DR,............, and top it off with a few min of 8K RAW.
Again, R5 is going to be a really good photography tool. However, I hope that moving forward they don't forget about photographers! There are some things that could make a major difference for some still shooters: for example an integrated RF flash transmitter, much higher flash sync speeds, ... and -c'mon- GPS .
