I'm watching for more teardowns from folks like Roger, but the conclusions shown in the Chinese article make a lot of sense with the external temperature scans and warm memory cards users are reporting.

It's clear the overheating is not simply because there are software limits. There are software limits to protect the overheating hardware from long term damage.

Still trying to suss out early shill reviews from real world experiences.

So far it sounds like:

Sony +
- Considerably longer battery life
- Can still shoot HI+ with AF-C until the battery dies
- Sony runs better from external batteries
- Can record maximum amount of 4K without any heat issues
- Better IQ at base ISO to around ISO 800 due to Canon "cheating" and using baked in noise reduction at low ISO

Canon +
- Faster burst while battery life allows for it
- Better IBIS
- Higher Res EVF
- Better video capability before it overheats
- CFE support
- Possibly better weather sealing, needs more user testing
- Seemingly...Show more →

Thanks, interesting bullet point lists. As I don't own any of the cameras, I cannot comment on the validity, but I might have an opinion about the importance of each point. I would have to say that the +A7rIII list is rather thin as far as a "more capable camera" goes. In the end, maybe everything will boil down to AF keeper rate, but that will be hard to compare.

Since you gave balanced lists, I would also like to add a couple of + point for the R5:

- Animal AF (you may have included that in "Seemingly better AF"
- Much faster sensor scan rate with electronic shutter.

As it stands, my opinion is that the R5 is a more capable camera than the A7rIIi. That is not important for me to point out, I just want to see you eat bacon boots or whatever

As it shakes out, the R5 is beyond the general abilities of the Sony R3 and closer to the Sony R4. However, I think the R3 is still as good of a stills-only option IF you don't need aggressively tracking animal eyeAF.

If I owned the A7r III, it would be difficult to justify switching system based on the camera alone.

Last year, Roger Cicala made a great point that if you are not committed to a FF system yet, the year 2019 would not be a good year for doing so, as there are too much unknown things in the pipeline especially from Canon. It turns out his intuition was right. We are now in a more normal situation, where there are capable cameras everywhere, and you don't marry a camera but a family of lenses.

I still haven't. Quite. You know the difference between a Fairy Tale and a Southern Fairy Tale? A Fairy Tale starts "Once Upon a Time". A Southern Fairy Tale starts "Y'all Ain't Gonna Believe This Sh$t'. Y'all ain't gonna believe this sh$t, but I just bought a 600mm f/11. :-)

A true pig of a lens according to MTF charts, but it's reasonably priced and small enough that I'll actually take it on "not photography" vacation time; I have a house near the Southern coast next to a wildlife refuge; tons of light and wildlife but I won't bother taking a big lens on vacation. But I'm really not interested in getting close enough to gators to use my cell phone for a pic. BTW - we tore the 600mm down right after I bought it, should be up end of the week.

And I expect I'll be buying an R5 pretty soon, although for right now I'm 'borrowing' an R to just see if the lens is adequate.
