R5 is a photo oriented camera. If you compare it with Sony A7sIII where it clearly is video oriented camera. In case of IBIS - best in class, DR - on par with the best of the best, high ISO performance - probably class leading, 45 MP, 12/20 FPS, AF that is just amazing. On top, if offers all sorts of video option up to 8K.

So let's be super-super honest. What does this camera lack as a photography tool? I want to see an example from folks that complain and demand more what is this camera not able to do? Show me your photography and what you do and let me know how you are not able to achieve what you want with R5?

In the almost 4 years I've had my 5DIV I've used the video maybe twice. Don't see that changing with the R5, I know, it's like having a Porsche 911 GT3 and only driving it to work!

Do you not think that Canon will release a photographic focused camera, for instance a R4, with less video features and with a lower price or is that camera the EOS R?

Sadly I don't believe so. Probably a R5s with maybe 60-75 MP and perhaps little less videocentric features.
