Not sure what your expectations are. I upgraded to the R5 from my 5DM3 two years ago. It is superior in every way to my 5DM3. Maybe your expectations a a bit high?

Folks (trolls) like you really are good at contaminating a discussion. You make it sound like this global-shutter announcement suddenly makes all prior cameras obsolete and inoperable. That somehow all photos taken with other cameras are no longer viable in quality. That is absolutely not the...

60MP is getting silly. As an R5 owner, 45 - even when I crop - is way more than sufficient. Going to those high MP levels is only catering to those spec-whores that think the only path to a better photo is more megapixels. Keep it at 45MP, drop the thermals down more, and if I must ask for...

I bought my R5 knowing the specs, and capabilities at the time I purchased it and so far has performed superbly from purchase, and after several firmware updates. I understand that modern mirrorless cameras are more computers than optical cameras like dSLR's and it's primarily software which...

Wow... the downers in this thread... Seems like they were expecting the firmware to update their R5 to an R1. Go figure. My R5 was an incredible camera before the firmware. You folks might want to consider that your bar may be set a wee bit high.

I'm about 1 year into my new R5. Absolutely love it. I bought it for underwater photography and the underwater housing costs as much (or more) than the camera body. I would be very irked if Canon includes dual CFExpress slots as that was one the one key complaint I have about my R5. It...

I don't understand the point of this. Of course every current camera that Canon has released has some next-gen version on the drawing board, or maybe even designed/built and being tested. It means that even in a pandemic with supply-chain challenges, it's great that Canon is continuing on with...

Not sure why you wouldn't want to. I bought my R5 last December and I've upgraded the firmware each and every time, which was quite a few. Haven't had any issues. It's to your benefit to keep the firmware current. With the R5 being so new, I'm sure there were half-baked functions and...

Storage manufacturers are salivating at the prospect of selling more disk storage to those new owners of extreme megapixel cameras. I just upgraded to an R5 (from a 5DM3) and going from 22MP to 45MP, and faster frame rates has seen my disk usage explode. I can only imaging what a 100MP image...

COVID put my R5 purchase on hold, and now I find myself eyeballing this R3. I'm tentatively excited about this camera as from a body-perspective, has what I'm looking for. Now waiting to see what Canon's official description of the internals and performance... and of course, I hope the price...

I wasn't quite convinced that the R5 would be the camera that would have me taking the leap to mirrorless. The R3 though might be the one. Very excited to see what this bad boy can do.

Now this gets interesting. Maybe this is meant to fall between the R1 and R5? It's making me feel better that I waited. I like the R5, but feel it's not quite baked enough. Maybe the end of 2021 will have me retiring my trusty 5DM3.

I agree with you on that. It still doesn't mean that 8K is (or should be) the primary focus of the R5. Some folks here on this thread are really having issues accepting that. Whether it's Sony, Canon, or someone other company but I think 8K will be better on next-generation CPU's that what...

There is no magical one-size-fits-all camera. Many people purchased the R5 to do stills photography, and that is its primary strength. It added 8K video more as a side-benefit, but a certain segment had too high an expectation. 8K is NOT a 2021 camera feature. That you say it is does not...

As an underwater photography, I was going to purchase the R5 but COVID put a hold on that since I'm not traveling anywhere or doing anything that would warrant a pricey investment of an R5, and the very expensive underwater housing for it. So I patiently wait and continue using my trusty 5DM3...

Many R5 owners couldn't care less about the video "issues" with the R5. There hasn't been any real issues with the heating issues lately with the R5 right? Just media sites fishing for clickbait and Canon-haters looking to stir the pot.

The pricing for the R5 was not too far away from the equivalent 5D. I would expect the R1 to be in the same ballpark as the 1DX. I'm not buying the pricing. It seems too high. I few hundred dollars maybe, but not thousands. If it were priced similar to the 1DX, even I would consider it.

Are you saying that freelancers should not have to pay for software that helps them make money?

Yes... one company a friend of mine worked at got hit by ransomeware. It was a really bad one. Their data was inaccessible for weeks, and refused to make it public for obvious reasons. Live in ignorance I suppose.

This has nothing to do with cloud storage. It was internal data, stored on Canon's own internal servers. Typical ransomware means that a user's PC was compromised in some way, and their attached network drives were attacked and encrypted. If anything, if they were using a cloud service like...
