  6. how many frames save, or if that is an option. More frames would support dealing with more complex motion (camera or scene).

Good questions. #5 would certainly be a concern for me (I like to have RAW for all cases)

I guess thinking about this a bit more, even if Canon did add Pixel Shift to the R5, it seems highly unlikely they would add a new RAW mode for the new pixel count images that would generate.

What new pixel count? If they are shifting one pixel to get around the Bayer issue, you'd have the same number of pixels. Because of the AA filter, I doubt a half pixel shift would gain anything useful. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong about that.

I don't know, you may be right.

I was thinking if pixel shift was done to increase the resolution. Isn't that what most cameras which do pixel shift give you?

And even if it's done for better clarity, wouldn't we still want the generated RAW to include all captured info, from all the pixel shifting?
