Not even a very useful 10 second clip? How many stills do you shoot in one hour? Ten thousand? If I'm shooting wildlife I might have a couple hundred or maybe none and my guess is I'd still be able to do a 10 second clip in 8K - no?

Well the video everyone here seems to be angrily saying is a waste of time says this: "This problem persists beyond just internal recording. If you record externally to an Atamos you'll extend your time by 50% but it will still shut down due to overheating, even if you turn on every single power saving feature on the camera. And the same is even true if you're just taking pictures with the camera.
If you like to mix some photo and video, make sure you do the video first because after you've shot photos for about an hour you'll likely be unable to shoot any of the oversampled or high-frame rate video because the camera builds up heat just from being on. [...]"
He doesn't mention how intensive that shooting is, no, but for it to cool down requires the camera to be turned off - he mentions this in the second Overheat portion of the video.
Define "shooting stills for an hour...."
I mean, if we're having to sit here and define how intensive our photography sessions are to determine what sits within the "certain realm" of being able to use the higher end features in even a casual manner, it suggests there's a problem with the implementation!
I'd rather the only thing I have to worry about with intensive photography was how much it might drain the battery, rather than "am I even going to be able to use 8K if I wanted to?".
Thankfully, no I probably won't want to - it's still rubbish though, and taking umbrage at people pointing that out doesn't ultimately change that.
