'As promised....but that's not enough'. If that doesn't speak loudly about the motivation and state of 'media' I don't know what does. This is why I despise when people cite what the talking heads are saying. People paid to generate clicks always have an agenda. Show us objectively what the tool can DO when used for what it was built for, and keep your inane opinions out of it. Don't deliberately stoke controversy. Were competing products put to this standard in the past when they overheated without even manufacturer acknowledging it?
What is WRONG with people in this world?!
Every reviewer has been trying deliberately to push the camera to overheat, or trying to use it as a cinema camera, or dedicated video camera. Meanwhile the competition, also overheats just slightly less fast and cools slightly faster, is testing in ideal conditions indoors, and somehow a couple outdoor tests where it fails faster than Canon are not valid.
Look at this, a wedding photographer who apparently actually USED THE R5 in the field. He was realistic about how long he could use the HQ modes and simply, like an adult, respected the tool limitations and went back to normal modes. He also has a second body, like any working professional.
Let's hear from the normal, non paid customers, who are focused on trying to use the tool properly and let them tell us if the camera is failing them in normal, not deliberate failure modes. No more from the paid click bait crowd or emotional perpetually bashing whiners. It is time to hear from the voice of reason.
