So why did they market it as an 8K full frame camera?Anybody expecting genuine unrestricted 8k from Canon in a sub $4,000 camera is an idiot.

Just saw an opportunist unopened R5 on Craigslist, for $5,000!So I just utilize the My Menu settings completely, ignore the video functions and be happy as a clam? I can do that. Ok, I will wait for the refurbs to show up next year. I'm good.
I agree. First Canon PR says R5 is a 5div equivalent. Should have left it at that.I have two. Canon marketed this camera’s video specs pretty hard so it got video centric users interested. Thought it would make a good B can. Quit excusing shady PR.
BECAUSE IT IS! They never said you could shoot a movie on it, they never said it was designed for long form use. It is a sub $4,000 small hybrid. Maybe my mistake is I live in the real world, I never expected more from the R5 and Canon never promised more so I don’t really understand people’s dismay and anger.So why did they market it as an 8K full frame camera?
They’d need to buy two cameras... like we’ve always had to do. Canon gave false hope that this body could eliminate that need for 2020-2021. Maybe it’s not possible, I don’t know.Totally agree with the buying power stuff. Speak with your wallet for sure; forum posts are cheap. And again, Canon borked the PR here.
But, and this is an honest question, what competitor would you suggest people buy if they like the R5’s photo capabilities but are unhappy with the video?
[Canon] are doomed?
How much longer you going to hold on to your argument? You can’t shoot ANY 8K if you’re doing anything else on that camera, including shooting stills. Need two hours to cool it down. I was betting on great 4K, and even that is severely limited if at all usable when utilizing this as a true hybrid. You’re describing a shady PR team btw.BECAUSE IT IS!

This camera is definitely for you and I’m excited for you! I imagine all stills photographers will fall in love with the AF this camera provides at 45MP. I don’t know what you shoot, but I know you’ll enjoy shooting it.As someone who has shot 7D IIs and 5DsRs and currently shoots the 5D IV and an EOS R (and one who has shot about 20 minutes of video in the last five years), I cannot wait for my R5 to arrive this week! Super excited.
Not part of any villager mob but you can continue to let Canon walk all over you as you point the finger. Buying power is critical and those looking for a hybrid solution truly capable of video will find it, if not Canon then definitely with one of the competitors. Criticism is incredibly important or things will never be improved. You implying Canon will listen then do something to “hurt” us is incredibly worrisome of the brand’s reputation.
If you don’t want negative PR don’t market the camera dishonestly? Pretty simple.
I keep hearing people talking about cooling the camera in a fridge. Wouldn’t that rapid change cause condensation inside the camera? Especially with the lens off.I wonder how much one could reduce the cooldown time by using something like a small Peltier-cooled travel fridge or similar device. Also, how much effect removing the lens has. How about a Peltier cooler that you can mount on the camera in place of a lens?!

No gun to my head. I have other cameras, but I did invest in RF thinking Canon would deliver so that’s my bad I guess? It amazes me how so many stand by Canon 100%Is someone holding a gun to your head and making you order anything from Canon?
I agree. The 4kHQ downsampled from the 8K is amazing and is honestly my favorite part of the video specs. If they can alleviate the overheating there, I think everyone would be a lot more forgiving but it’s highly unlikely for this gen. Maybe next gen will have better heat dissipation. I’m sure it’s incredibly hard given the amount of processing power required and the great weather sealing.I kinda of get your point, but that being said the camera doesn't really have a peer. If you are a pro and love the video specs you can buy more than one and keep on shooting. What else gives you 8k? Most reviewers report the 4khq is top notch. Is the Nikon z7 better? What about the A7R4? Which camera is better all around than this camera?

Why is a gimmick? How many times you need over 20 minutes of shooting? Seriously!
You can do amazing things with 5-10 minute 8K shots.
