  1. This is an impressive camera but I seriously doubt that Canon expects to reach a lot of serious filmmakers with it. It wasn't designed with video in mind or it would've been built from the ground up with the cooling capacities to match like S1H or the fp. I think, like others pointed out, that the camera has the horsepower to deliver such specs and Canon decided to include them as well for those who could work within it's constraints. It's also a really cool testament as to how much technology has evolved, as well as a really powerful marketing statement in a era where video specs are becoming deciding factors in a camera purchase, even for photographers. In any case I don't think a lot of people will reach overheating thresholds when the cheapest 512GB CFexpress cards are 500$ and up. This is what Sigma did right with the fp. Just like cameras, storage loses value quickly because of slow capacity or reading speeds so it's a really pro-consumer move to make it possible to use the cheaper alternative. Knowing that CFexpress cards are literally rebadged NVMe SSDs at 10 times the price (The sweet taste of Mini-mag déjà-vu) is really upsetting and I know for a fact that I won't buy a camera that needs them to record video unless prices drastically fall down. But Canon represents the status quo and I think it would be really hard for them to move to less expensive storage medias. It probably wouldn't fare well in the eyes of the "pros" who invested thousands into this storage medium. I hope we will see a fp mk.II with full sensor readout 6k60 and a USB 4.0 port to record to external NVMe SSDs. To me the EOS R5 actually highlights the real bang for the buck that the S1H is for a 6k 12-bit capable camera. The S1H is made for videographers who like photography whereas the EOS R5 is made for photographs who like videography. Knowing the roots of both companies this makes a lot of sense.
