R5 Definitely an amazing camera but I am not a video photographer I wanted to know if Stills photographers will also get some significant camera to replace like the EOS 5DSR for example

re-write this post.
There's been rumors for the last year of a high MP RF camera - so yeah somewhere around 80 to 100MP is the rumors.
Since the R5 can punch out 900 million pixels per second - we're looking at somewhere around a completely insane maximum 10 to 12 fps for it.
I would imagine it will be like the 5D - built on the 5D ergos - so take the EOS R5 and add an "S" or an "SR" to it i guess.
but really if you didn't need the higher res the R5 is going to be a crazy good stills camera at 45MP.
- 45MP
- 12fps with mechanical shutter with full AF/AE
- 20fps (most likely 12 bits instead of 14) with electronic shutter with AF (no word on AE,but probably so)
- AF includes the normal AF modes, plus Person and Animal AF. Animal AF uses AI for dogs, cats and BIRDS. No one else does birds.
- AF modes include head/body/eyeAF
- IBIS works with OIS for up to 8 stops of stabilization (IBIS + IS for both RF and EF lenses)
- Articulating screen
There's not much really that we don't know.. it's pretty damned good so far.
You can argue that it doesn't match 5D ergonomics and I agree it does not. But other than that, it takes the 5DIV out back to the woodshed *if* the performance and operational speed of the camera is there.
I'm personally waiting for the high res version of this camera, so the R5 is not for me. But it's a damned impressive stills shooting machine.
