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.

Light Pilgrim I like your idea about the poll. But sampling here will not represent the true result of the population since it’s not random sampling and any sampling here will not be representative sampling because I think it’s a photography focused website, slightly skewed towards older folks. If you conduct the same poll at a video centric forum you’ll think no one shoots photos (which would be absurd to suggest that) [this is my opinion don’t take it as a fact]. It’s likely photography is more prevalent than videography but I wouldn’t consider videography non-existent.

YouTube videography reviewers like Gerald Undone’s (and Philip Bloom) wouldn’t be getting any views if videography was insignificant. Similarly people to to these reviewers to to learn to use ILCs for videos.
