    Funny how this issue gets so much attention, but literally nobody complains about Canon charging 10% higher netto prices in the EUR/GBP zone compared to Yen/US$. They started that with the 5D 4.
    THAT is what kept me from buying the R5.
    Third party lens manufacturers like Sigma or Tamron actually have lower netto prices for many lenses here, it cannot be a general thing.

    Says who? What from I read, you can take photos AND use the 1080 & cropped / non-HQ 4K modes (that are still way better than compressed to death YT videos) all day. Anything else especially concerning photos would be a first, and a huge failure.
    4K+ streaming is still a joke anyway, all we are seeing is the higher bitrate services reserve. I have an interface traffic graph running at all times on my PC acting as a router, the bitrates are laughable. You could upconvert by at least one resolution step and probably no one would notice..

    I guess the mistake Canon made was giving the samples out primarily to a vocal minority of videographers. There are real issues like a fixed viewfinder eyepiece that cannot be replaced by the magnifying version I was using for more than 11 years. Or the fact that the ergonomics are limited for left-eyed shooters (face obstructs access to some controls on these smaller camera bodies). Or baked RAW files below ISO800 with baseline noise reduction applied. Or the huge issue that DPAF cannot sense horizontal detail at all.
    I generally do not watch video "reviews" because reading is 3x faster and I cannot stand listening to someone reading his text at "single speed", but I bet not a single one of these YTers has addressed anything of this.

    Well, this is what happens if you stop using the "cripple hammer" people often complained about, and simply offer what the hardware can do.
    12 FPS H+ mode with mechanical shutter is also severely limited, check out page 452 of the manual.
    In most instances, the camera will deliver between 7 and 10 FPS.
    From a developer's point of view, Canon has included features once only available with hacked firmware like Magic Lantern. This is one of the factors that allowed the leap forward in performance.
    Personally I like this, because there are no arbitrary limits, but it is different from what people are used to from this manufacturer.
