How great is that?

Can't be.

Everything Canon is bad. I heard it here, on DPReview.

Case in point, the R5...you only managed to get this because it is winter. The main characteristic of this camera (...again, according, to DPR users...), is that it overheats.

Sorry for the irony...

Loved this clip. Well done! 👍

Hi PK,

A big LOL regarding your tongue in cheek comment about the overheating and the negative naysaying on DPReview.

Mind you, the overheating of the R5 was a huge consideration for me when doing my research in preparing to move to Canon after 12 years a Nikon DSLR shooter. I knew what I wanted to do with wildlife videos and the R5 was the only camera I could find that checked all the boxes for me... but the overheating was a deal breaker.

Then last summer Canon came out with the 1.6 firmware update somewhat mitigating the problem and extending the useability of the camera. All the reviews of this firmware update were positive, plus for my short wildlife videos I only do very short clips of 4K120p, so I bought the camera. Very glad I did.

Glad you loved the clip!

Cheers,
Rudy
