The question remains, why do you suppose they left oversampled 4K60 off (if not due to heat)?

Maybe there were some issues other than heat with it at launch and they need additional time to work out the bugs?? Pure speculation.

Incidentally, setting single shooting disables pre-capture. Easily accessed with the Drive button on the top left.

Now if only ACR/Bridge had metadata indicating an image was part of a precapture. That would make culling that much easier.

Reading your comment made me actually just think about the R1 for a moment as I now have one as well as an R3, as much as I love the R3 my god the r1 is a fantastic camera. All of the flagship cameras are great right now. But I gotta say in my own personal subjective experience after using all of them the R1 is really awesome. Sure people complain about megapixels, but I don’t.
the sheer fact of a locking diopter adjustment and other little details that were paid attention to make this camera shine. But I will say I did like the placement on the R3 for the power switch better but that’s just me.

Yeah...amazing.
And dramatic difference overall to R3. I remembered couch experts with "R3 mk2" comments and propaganda clowns complaining and laughed.
Tough to go back after that EVF.
Did you compare the colour, sharpness and Cinema RAW ? I found some things...differed.
So much data is already with 12 bit raw. : )
I don't care about that size difference with the advantage, if I'm burning GB every 5 sec I want full bit depth of the sensor and sensor can handle 40 fps in 14 bits.

I was a little surprised that the color saturation and the way that the data was being rendered is a bit different. I actually think I like the video coming out of the R3 more than the R1 but for work no one will ever know or care. For most video stuff though I still use my C300mkiii and c70. Which all four of those cameras play very well together.
120 frames per second with audio and pixel bin versus the line skipped on the R5 is fantastic.
my God it’s like looking through a DSLR viewfinder it’s fantastic that thing is impressive, my eye is so much happier looking through it. I was dumbfounded, like it’s a proper mirror box.
And I guess yeah when you’re already burning all of that data 14 bit probably wouldn’t be that much more. I am truly impressed though with both the R1 and r3. I only have one real complaint about both of those cameras as I preferred the texture grip of the 1DX series over these new texture grips. Bravo Canon.

This is why I actually really liked the previous implementation that stored pre-captures in folders on the camera. I would just extract the keepers in camera and never need to open DPP at all.

Was there any major firmware release this week at CP+ for bodies? I saw the lens updates related to R1/R5II but nothing related to updating the bodies itself. Also disappointed in the no show of the 200-500, now I'm wondering if it was scrapped. I remember it being said here that it was spotted in field test last year, then crickets. Wasn't there a recent patent discovery that mentioned a 300 - 600? Maybe that's the focus, no pun intended hahahaha

A lot of times Canon announces big whites after CP+. For example, the Canon RF 100-300 mm f2.8 L was announced on April 20, 2023. If Canon does decide to announce the 200-500 mm this year I would expect it in the March-May timeframe.
