Yes, R5 sounds like a great stills camera, given the competition is that worth $3900? Not to me at least. Will wait for the price to drop below $3k mark.

For those who were talking about R5's Dynamic Range...
Now add the specs (top AF, IBIS, 12/20fps, 8k Raw, 4k HQ), RF Glass and the colors Canon provides and then come and tell me that Canon has not the the best hybrid system out there!! Expect a few firmware updates that will extend record times and reduce cooldowns. Im telling this mostly to myself who cancelled the preorder and now I have to wait for sometime...
"Oh, and I never experienced any overheating on the R5 when shooting still photos, even during long bursts on a hot day". There you go. Another reviewer who didn't encounter overheating just shooting stills, like the trolls and Sony fanboys would want everyone to believe.
That would apply to every camera that shoots 8k, 4k120fps, or 4k60fps,,,,oh wait there’s none so your point is mute since it can do anything every camera out there without overheating, plus the added high bit ratesExcept if you shoot 8k Raw or 4k HQ for 20 to 30 mins you need to leave the camera for 2 hours you need to forget the camera for next 2 hours and that is definitely sounds like the best hybrid camera at the $3900 price tag
You are assuming Sony does not do that. There is suspicion that Sony does the same. I am not denying the superiority of Sony sensors over Canon sensors in terms of dynamic range and noise performance (Except R5 which seems to be better than Sony) but whether Sony does NR or any kind of correction to their RAW file or not is an unknown. We can debate all day whether they do or don't and if they do is that true RAW or not.

How does it make zero sense? RAW is the sensor data untouched, unless the manufacturer decides to touch it with some processing like NR or pixel shift, etc. This is not the first camera to do that. Long exposure noise reduction has been applied to RAW across brands for a long time. It is as close to the RAW sensor information as you will get. RAW just means you are getting close enough to the original pixel readout that you can customize the final look and preserve as much detail as as possible. There isn't some rule of physics broken here if the manufacturer decides that some sensor data needs to be processed in some way prior to storing as a RAW.that makes zero sense, a raw file is not completely raw? sure, ok
Just. One. Thread.Unles you are living under a rcok by this time you know there is a7s3 and the Pansonics that does not over heat with 4k60. Each have their short comings. My reply is to your point because it has 8k, 4k120fps it is great hybrid camera. No it is not, if you use those modes either you have to buy 6 cameras to continue the shoot without interruption or you need to stop and wait for hours before you can use the camera again. Noone asked for 8k. Canon foolishly tried to pull 8k purely for marketing stunt and lost again on 4k too.
Until we can run those R5 RAW's through the image editor *of our choice* we really have no idea of its quality *for our usage.* BUT, looking to Gordon's review, the R5 looks like a monumental upgrade to my old 5D's. Colour me impressed by the R5-- as a photography tool.
5D4 was 3499 at launch. Add 4 years and some inflation, and way more advanced STILLS technology.I believe the $3899 price reflects the 8k and 4k 120 video features. Both of these have turned out to be a failure in the eyes of videographers as far as I can tell. Canons only hope is that photographers, like myself, will buy the camera to replace there 5D mk4's. I feel the camera should be price more around $3299 like the 5D mk4 was.
Except if you shoot 8k Raw or 4k HQ for 20 to 30 mins you need to forget the camera for next 2 hours and that is definitely sounds like the best hybrid camera at the $3900 price tag
Agreed the R5 is definitely a great upgrade from any older 5 series camera in terms of stills. But for a stills camera given the competition it is way over priced.
LOL, then you haven't read many threads here or elsewhere on the internet. Lots of people have been whining about reports of overheating just from stills. And they all tie back to two incidents, one of which wasn't even an incident. There is a difference between pointing out shortcomings and blatantly making up false narratives, which is what the trolls have been doing.So far I have not heard anyone saying the R5 overheated just shooting stills Vs I heard even if you mix 8k video and stills it overheats. Sure anyone points out the shortcoming of Canon are trolls and Sony fan boys. Keep that narrative going
You mean shooting in a nudist colony would not be more RAW? Sorry, could not help myself.It's as raw as you can get. Whatever processing the camera may or may not do is a black box to the user. Complaining that CR3 is not "raw" is just semantic masturbation as long as it's not possible to make the camera output anything more raw than what we already get.

Can we not have yet another thread of people who do not even own this camera whining?
