As an R5 stills shooter, there's nothing in this update that excites me, it's a snooze fest...lol!

May heaven help you… I started a thread to that effect and got ROASTED ALIVE.

Get this: The gem of the update is that the camera will no longer shut down if it gets hot. It will just keep going and going… and apparently, it gets hot to the touch but works just fine that way.  So no more 8K video limit, no more shut down after keeping LiveView active too long. It’s a huge improvement, except… the “fix” was to remove a limitation that shouldn’t have been there in the first place.
