I seriously love what Canon did yesterday. Great-great move to catch up with Sony. I would say that the only two things that I believe were negative for me is the heating issue and short battery performance. I do not use video, though, so practically I would not be impacted.

I, however, feel that this is not the camera for me. I am into landscapes most of the time and really want to spend money on something that will be perfectly designed for it. IBIS is not needed, high FPS not needed, video not needed.

Pure focus on high MP, sharpness and DR at base ISO.

I think that there is a high probability that Canon will release R5s in 2021. Who is in the same group as me?

The R5 is worth every penny IFF one can make good use of high FPS, video in 8k, 4k etc.

However for landscape photography one should think twice whether an upgrade from R is worth it. Nice to have for landscape certainly is IBIS.

Anyway, I will be in for the R5S. Should arrive early next year. Besides 80mp I would expect specific features like pixel-shift. Another benefit: Any problems that might surface with all the new technology introduced in the R5 (IBIS etc.) would be fixed in the R5S.
