With the way people are losing their minds over the video capabilities and maybe drawbacks of the overheating on the R5, you would think these cameras had a C in front of their name. Who else is genuinely excited just to have the R5/R6 as a stills camera? While I rarely do video, I pre-ordered an R5 with barely any care that it does 8K. I am extremely excited just to have:
-45MP. Plenty of room to crop compared to the EOS R/5D4
-Finally IBIS to turn all my fast primes into IS lenses
-Getting the joystick back instead of that ridiculous touch bar
-Getting the spinny wheel back
-The additional programmable button on the front of the camera
-Two card slots to never have to worry about losing images to a bad card again
-One whole stop of additional ISO compared to the EOS R/5D4. Will the camera actually perform twice as well as those cameras in low light? That's probably a stretch. But there's still probably going to be a decent improvement. Between IBIS and improved ISO, this camera is going to open up a whole new world of low light possibilities.
