If you read internet and watch youtube, then you think that 99% of people use video only and for them R5 is a disaster because it overheat. When you talk to people, 99% of them to stills and overheating is not at all a problem. I think Canon knows their Target Audience for this camera.

When you read some comments it looks like 99% of the only take photos but this site is skewed towards older audience who isn't comfortable recording and editing video clips. I bet 99% of people do consume both still and video content, be it online or old fashioned TV. Now the votes show that for 30% people video is important feature they will use sooner or later and that's significant amount.

I bought Fujifilm X-T3 mainly because my previous Canon couldn't record 4K, and I didn't want second body for recording 4K, and also wanted to upgrade to 4K/60p. Despite using the camera mainly for photos, 90-99% of time, I want to record some events for documentary purposes which means having the highest quality posible for reasonable price.
