I don’t know where you’re getting the 8192x5464 figure, but it’s not in my R5.

Which figures are you getting in your R5?? 8192x5464 is the stills (max sensor) resolution.

I thought we were writing about 8K video. So we agree 8K video is 33 MP (UHD) or 35 MP (DCI), you can’t double that to fit well onto a 61mp sensor; you either scale a lot or crop a lot.

Besides, there’s no zebras in Still mode so who wants this new camera anyway?

R5 horizontal resolution is 8192 pixels. That is exactly what is needed for 8K DCI. There is no room for EIS here. New 61 Mp sensor will have horizontal resolution 9504 pixels. That means 13.8% of them are wasted if oversampling is not implemented. That is not huge, just about right for EIS.
