One of the issues I have with the EOS R is that the continues shooting takes a massive hit (down to 3 fps) when you are in a situation that requires run n' gun shooting, like a wedding or club scene with dancing people. Also the initial focus in low light is super slow and not as snappy as a DSLR because the IR beam is not utilized on mirrorless. I understand that this is a technical limitation.
In light of the 1Dx3 release, I noticed something in the manual regarding live view shooting and flash. Because this is essentially mirrorless mode it is stated that the continues shooting will be lower but the approximate fps is not mentioned (page 412). Can maybe some of the early 1dx3 users test this out?
I also noted that in live view mode AF assist beam will indeed not fire but when needed an AF assist beam from the LED light of speedlites will be used (page 193). I am confused, I don't think my 600ex flashes have a LED light. Is this maybe equipped on the new "flagship" speedlite that is rumored?
This should give an indication I believe what the EOS R5 is capable of.
Maybe worth a discussion.
