I love your detailed and carefully written review. I have the 5DIV as well the EOS R & R5. Your review very similar to the way I feel about the R5.

The one thing I would say is that you really need to try out the 4K Movie Crop Mode. It is an excellent companion to all the rest at the least on the R5. It has not thermal limits and is much more detailed than the 4K standard mode (not the 4K HQ). Both modes have no thermal limits but their is more fine image detail in the crop mode (since it is a down sampled image). I assume the R6 may also benefit crop this way. Of course crop mode also as more lens focal length reach which is good for distant small skittish wildlife.

Thanks very much.  I will try the crop mode for sure, although with the recent firmware I want to really be sure (it had to be pulled and tweaked and re-released as a few people bricked their cameras) it is fine.  The nearest Canon service center is a long, long way away!

But you are totally right - with wildlife there really is no such thing as too much reach.
