I used to be a wedding photographer and I only shot stills. The couples always hired a videographer separate, and they didn’t shoot stills.Who the hell wants to carry around multiple bodies for video during a wedding or for anything. Who wants to keep switching mods WORRYING about over heating. You want to work without worrying at all. No one wants added stress to their life.
That would be great because as a stills only shooter I’d buy two then.I hope(most likely in vain ) that this hubbub encourages canon to jump start the deep discounts early.
You shoot weddings at 8K? What are your computer specs like that you can process 8K video so well?
The line skipped/ pixel binned modes equivalent to say, an EOS R?
I pull out the card and it is also barely warm.R5 body is made by magnesium alloy.heat would easily transfer out . weather seal usually some rubber in between the gap but metal does transfer heat .and I barely felt the heat .well this surprised me too yesterday when I got the signal; I expected the camera to be very hot but it wasn't. Or they've made it in a way the heat stays completely inside

You get 37 minutes of 4K60 Internal, and no overheating with External. Use that, problem solved. And who shoots long segments of 4K120 during a wedding? You do know all of these compact, weather-sealed, fanless cameras overheat, right? This isn't just a R5/R6 thing.
This is why it is best to wait for real world testing of new equipment. The R5 / R6 look awesome on paper, but overheating and long cool down times will be far too limiting for many people, including me. I regularly shoot at over 85 F, and this looks impossible for the Canons.
Looks like the Sony A7s III wins for video. (Of course, the peanut gallery will fill up with "pros will only use a dedicated video body" from everyone who has never shot a video, ignoring the ubiquitous use of DSLRs and mirrorless bodies in films and videos around the world. Hint: there's a reason pros DO use these mirrorless bodies and the DSLRs before them on film sets )
"Doing a wedding shoot" doesn't seem like torture testing though?Perhaps someone should teach DPReview and a few posters here the difference between "testing" and "torture testing" a system. Dependability can only be defined and measured when testing a system not torture testing it. Better learn your lessons first then try again!
The R5 is absolutely the camera to convert me to the RF mount for photography. I just need it to be about 20% cheaper!I'm from Aus, so Aus pricing.
For the price of ONE R5, you can buy TWO 5Div (when discount) or TWO R.
Both 5Div and R and pretty much every other Canon 4K camera can shoot 4K reliably without shutdown. Their 4K is slightly less quality than the R5, but is it worth paying double the 5Div price?
The R5 was supposed to convert on the fence pro dslr users to the new mount. I wander how many or few will do so, when the 5Div is a workhorse, is half the price, and they can continue with their EF lenses.
I’m curious about the need for 60 or 120 FPS for weddings. I have’t been to that many weddings with fast-moving action, even the one where the groom was armed with a sword. I could see using those speeds so that the kiss in slow motion would look fabulous. Also 120 will gracefully sample down to either 24 or 30. So if the groom and the bride’s mama can‘t agree on the final product, that could be handy. Otherwise throwing out every other frame or three out of four for final product doesn’t seem to accomplish a lot.
I will admit that I haven’t shot a wedding since the days when instead of video, there was Super-8 film. So I don’t have much idea of contemporary expectations. I suspect it has something to do with soap operas. How common are drones, BTW?
Maybe not for the camera."Doing a wedding shoot" doesn't seem like torture testing though?
I couldn’t think of anything else in a wedding that the couple would want in slomo.Usually a cringy enough moment live. What on earth would I want to slow it down for?
Yeah. Maybe 50% more expensive, for better Ibis, autofocus and other goodness. But 100% more?"Doing a wedding shoot" doesn't seem like torture testing though?

Was speaking of the 4K quality. There are pretty fast and wide lenses available for EF/RF. Think one would be okay. Lets also keep in mind we're talking about a $3900 camera now.No, because there's a huge crop on the EOS R, so you'd need to shoot entirely different glass just to make a perspective comparison.
I would love this.For me, if we could get unlimited 4K HQ 24fps, all the other limits would be totally acceptable... The 4K HQ 24 is the only one im a bit bummed about...
Where is the controversy other than people want it to do what it was not designed for?
