The R5 is just an amazing camera. I'm still in awe of it every time I shoot with it. I don't even see how they could charge $4500 for it considering the biggest things this camera has going for it are +10 fps and a bigger battery bay..........but that's at the cost of half the resolution and a myriad of video features. Then you realize it will most likely cost closer to $6000 and you have to laugh. Kinda lame honestly, IMHO.
A lot of people here keep taking exception to others comparing this to the A1. It's a valid comparison because that camera has been released for nearly six months. What they don't realize is that Canon's own release from a year ago makes this camera look bad too. Shame, really.
Anyone who has never shot sports/action with Big Whites fails to understand how much difference the larger battery with higher voltage makes in terms of AF speed with large lenses having heavier AF elements when compared to similarly spec'd cameras with lower voltage batteries. It can often be the difference between keeping up with the subject or not during continuous tracking in continuous drive mode.
