I seem to see a growing anti-sentiment that manufacturers (like Canon) have put more resources into fleshing out its video functionality at the cost of its stills performance. I thought we had long agreed that Canon decides what to put in their products based on their target market. Just recently, some of those bodies left out 24p, left in a significant crop in 4K or didn't have IBIS among other things. When users complained about how that would hurt Canon's share, the data would always show that it had no real effect on its market share. Neuro has probably mentioned this a million times here already...
Clearly, Canon has changed their mindset. Hybrid shooters like myself shooting more video than stills maybe only make up a small part of the market, but when the entire market contracts dramatically with the ongoing pandemic compounding this, Canon might be looking at what other segments it can appeal to and as a result decided to spec its upcoming R5/R6 this way.
At this point, all manufacturers includes some form of video specs. The GFX100 shoots ProRes RAW, even a Leica M240 shoots 1080p. Aside from any real fine print tomorrow aka "cripple-hammer" , it appears as if Canon will be WAY out in the lead as a comprehensive hybrid MILC. Heck, I'm a Sony shooter and the R5 is REALLY appealing to me right now because it is a dramatic upgrade to what I have now.
