Strikes me as a rather excellent idea, maybe put some heat transfer in there too.
Incidentally would they also be able to add the extra cost of unlocking the 30 min tax rule onto the grip? That would be like three birds with one stone!

Hong Kong has stock if you want the 24-105mm bundle and expects some more bodies only sock mid August. Guess I and others may have jumped to the wrong conclusion, and it’s more Covid related than anything else....

Haven't you thought that the launch may have been intentionally made controversial, to force your kind of folk to do unpaid PR job for Canon?
I mean, now everyone on the Internet, even those who have never been into photography, knows that Canon EOS R5 is hot.

This has been a huge pet peeve of mine with many cameras and many brands.
I have not found a way yet, but I have not spent a lot of time either,
yesterday I was on an assignment for the newspaper and I did not want my screen on, so I cut a small piece of photo gaffer tape that leaves no gum marks behind and taped it over the eye sensor, when I want the screen on, I remove the tape and stick on the bottom of the camera.
Not great, but when you want some privacy (lots of people come and try to look at the screen to see what you are shooting)
it at least works.

I shot two assignments with the 5 yesterday, on a single battery I got 1000 stills and about 17 minutes of video, only at 1920, but that is more than what I need anyway.
So the specs worked out just fine in my world.
I just wish Adobe would get off their asses and get us a raw plugin update.
DNG converter sucks.

I have one in my hands
Still quality is great
Video is super sharp in 8k and 4k.
Record limit is a bit annoying as the cooldown period is fairly long
Auto focus is a massive step up from the R
Normal 4k 24p is still very nice
I do miss higher frame rate 1080p
Still shooting is an absolute pleasure with the 12fps. I keep it in low continuous, and it's so snappy to respond to the shutter button, Something I never found to be true with the R
Battery life seems fairly good - better than their reported shots per charge anyway.
I do feel like a trick was missed with the overheating tho, I'd gladly have the camera be bigger to reduce the problem. That being said, still image quality is superb.

I went into my local camera store today here in Denmark and asked whether they had received the R5. He told me that they haven't seen any cameras yet and that they were originally promised for mid-June. He suspects that it might be a few months before they see the R5 and R6. According to him, nobody in Scandinavia has received cameras yet at all.
I told him about the overheat issues and the recall rumors, but he hadn't heard anything about that, even though he was on the phone with Canon yesterday.
The fact that none of the Scandinavian countries have received any cameras is a bit strange, but when I look at the major online camera stores here in Denmark, it looks like none of them have the R5 in stock.
What is even more weird is that a few weeks ago I was on the phone with a Canon supporter from Sweden (unrelated to the R5/R6) and he told me that the R5 was very popular and a lot of retailers had shown interest in the cameras.

It looks like now if your remove the express cards and attach an Atomis Shogun 7, you can film in 8 or 4 K till the end of time, the overheating issue does not happen. Then when your ready to take pics, put the express cards back in. I'm good with that. Winters coming, long live the R5 in the North
