The R5 will use CRAW instead of SRAW/MRAW options. Introduced with the M50 and also on the EOR R. Both compressed and non-compressed raw are .CR3 files. The comparisons online (petapixel, DRP, TDP, fstpotters etc) shows a small difference in the shadows. I won't use CRAW by default - especially for landscape/underwater but will for events where I am likely to exceed 1600-1800 shots on a 128GB card in a session.
I was a bit concerned after seeing that part of the review. I am hoping that there were some non-optimal settings used, and that the issues mentioned could be addressed via using different settings and a more modern lens. The teleconverter can't help either.
Great table! What does this say the CFe card write speeds need to be? I have seen a big difference between rated speed and average write speed in some specs. I haven't seen any authorised cards yet for the R5... the closest is the 1DX (under burst rate) and for some reason the Sandisk 128BG CFe card is not authorised yet it is rated at 1200MB/s

Think it's a bit early for a product recall as the production units haven't even reached the public and the one's sent out to press etc have some really varying reports. Some say they have had no issues then there are others that had had overheating as expected, others like Mrs Northrup who said she had horrendous issues in every area.
Always keep in mind that the important number for storage here is minimum sustained write speed. The write speed on the label is typically not that, it's usually a maximum burst speed, a different animal altogether. Unfortunately the minimum sustained speed is rarely found on spec lists, especially for cards that don't have a very good one.Great table! What does this say the CFe card write speeds need to be?

Surely Canon wouldn't launch something if it was as bad as Chelsea said it was. Looking at her review again, I do wonder if there are user issues, what firmware was she using for the lenses, what state was the battery in before shooting, what setting was she using on AF, auto, self selection etc etc.
You may be right but I hope not.
Sorry I can't find it at the moment, but I want to say I saw a table over the weekend that included Sony cards as supporting 8K. Don't quote me on that though.On the Prograde website they handwave about that, paraphrasing it a bit: "Hey, the Cobalt range gets 1700MB/s write speeds and more than 400MB/s sustained".
I went with a Sony Tough 128G CFe card, I hope that's fast enough for 8k RAW. Which I'll likely use once and decide that 4k HQ is good enough
Canon USA has a knowledge base article for the 6k in the 1dx3, I used that to decide on the card to get. I would’ve preferred a Sandisk, but the 512G is too much after the R5 + grip being a lot more expensive than expected here in the Netherlands.Sorry I can't find it at the moment, but I want to say I saw a table over the weekend that included Sony cards as supporting 8K.

FWIW, the ProGrade Cobalt series have a sustained write speed of 1400MB/s. The Gold is the series that has a 400MB/s sustained speed.
I'm of the same mind as you, I don't think there are as many issues as some of the You tubers are saying. I think under normal use eg 4k30p there are no overheating issues and let's be honest, most You tube videos are currently filmed in 1080p and are likely to continue that way for a while.

I've just watched a video by a contributor called the Ordinary Film Maker. His experience with the R5 is mainly video so doesn't match what I do which is mainly stills but it is interesting that he has used all of the video modes, including over 2 hours of 4k30p and several clips in 8K with no overheating. His main issue isn't with the camera, it's with his own computer being able to cope with the bigger files and amount of data to render before he can edit it. He confirmed he is still going ahead with his R5 order.
This guy isn't a Canon fanboy and has been quite honest about his doubts but I do think his reviews are more realistic than some of the other reviews that are a little historical and biased.
Overall, I've got to stop watching so many videos and make my own mind up when it arrives lol.
Only need to be careful with 4k120fps.The R5 would be good enough for me - 45 Mpx is a nice compromise between huge file sizes and resolution. From what I can see from the dpr comparisons and elsewhere, the 5DSR and Nikon D850/Z7 are very close together in resolution, and sightly better than the R5. I agree with dstaylor that the R5 does the tracking for you but doing it yourself is a proven approach that also works.
ProGrade Cobalt 325GB; Lexar 256 and 128 GB cards.
Minor correction... cobalt is 1400MB/s but average speed is 1300MB/s as per their spec sheet which is close to max speed. Gold average speeds are significantly slower than max speed.Sorry I can't find it at the moment, but I want to say I saw a table over the weekend that included Sony cards as supporting 8K.

=> I can't imagine Canon approving a Sony card publicly
