Hello, folks. From reading the forum and checking youtube for R5 reviews, most of it is related to video overheat. I wanted to check how people use cameras these days?

Interesting to see at the poll results for how people will actually use the EOS-R5 as compared to where the youtubers and blogosphere are concentrating their reviews of the camera..

There appears to be a huge disconnect, esp. with the tubers.

It seems that the 'tubers are over-indexing on what's important to them instead of providing useful information for their audience. I did finally see a Youtube review from Northop today that actually reviews the stills aspect of R5, which was refreshing.

So much focus is being put on comparing the R5 and A7siii, when they serve very difference audiences. Clearly, the A7Siii is targeted at the videographer.  If I were a 90% videographer, then the decision is easy for me that I'd go with the A7Siii. But I am not.

Canon blundered the message by leading with 8K as the killer feature (and, of course, the overheat-gate). Also, gotta give Sony credit for how adeptly they took the wind out of EOS-R5's sails w/ the timing of their A7Siii announcement.
