What then of wildlife? Scroll down to his running dog. About ⅔ down.
Unless this is resolved with production models, I won't be spending my money on this camera. I was intrigued with it for fast action wildlife with my 600mm, but this pre-production unit is disappointing. I would expect we'll start seeing some production unit reviews within a few days...
Finally the first trustworthy review from a very experienced photographer. Even being an Canon ambassador, he elaborates the technical capabilities and too high claims. And very important to me as a hobbyist, he mentions the joy of using the camera different times.

Interesting how Sony overheats earlier in outdoor hot usage.
Here, Tony thinks R6 does a better 4K60 than Sony. Regardless, the new Sony is heavily video centric and is for that market, 90% video/ 10% stills usage types is my guess. It isn't something I will consider at all. Both R6 and R5 are stills camera that I have interst in getting (pre-ordered the R5 to replace my R. Keeping RP and 1DX2 as backups), and can do decent video if needed.

Summary:
IBIS is better in R5
Rolling shutter too.
In some situation, the a7sIII overheat before the R5.
As hybrid camera, the a7sIII doesn't even compete.
If you see Jared Polin video:
IQ is better and sharper from camera in R5.
All of this in the best video mode from both camera, 8k 3... oo sorry, my mistake. 4k something.

Might be the pattern of coat on his dog's head/eye area, or pre production firmware. But overall a very positive review.
yeah, i don't view this as definitive. dark eyes/dark face running nearly straight at the camera at 20-30 mph seems like a tough challenge for any AF system and probably not a very common scenario for most wildlife photographers anyway. f2.8 doesn't give a lot of leeway either if that first image isn't cropped at 200mm. just my 2 cents.

Not in English. 2:37 and 2:43 are mechanical. 3:00 is Electronic. The next two are the A7R4. We don't now if he turned the EVF review off or was he using 120 fps refresh rate.

Minute 5:30. I think this was posted at FM. He claims he tracked a Cheetah in mechanical. He is an Explorer of light.

Have you all seen this one by Rick Sammon (a Canon ambassador)?
The video focuses on the R6 and the new 600/800 f/11 lenses. The photos throughout reveal some of the strengths (weight & sharpness) and some of the drawbacks (lack of subject isolation due to depth of field).

From another explorer of light. I don't know anything about him and I don't use Facebook.
"I’ve been using the EOS R5 and pushing it hard on birds in flight and a few events.Focus on fast-moving Osprey, the animal eye detection, picks up so fast and accurate! I shot a series of photos in H+ 20fps electronic at 1/1600 sec no blackout or lag, no rolling shutter! If I was able to keep the bird framed, it was sharp!
Battery life: in my experience to date, it’s about the same as the EOS R. I don’t have a specific number of frames, I photographed a 6hr event with plenty of power left over.I photographed an event on a sailboat, the IBIS, in-body image stabilization, in combination with RF24-105 IS, which was outstanding. The boat was rolling with the waves.
Last night I experimented with high ISO 3200, 6400, photographing the stars. I haven’t download those images yet, but on the screen, they looked smooth. Also, the EOS R5 was easier to zoom in on the stars to acquire focus using the LCD screen than the EOS1DXMIII. I shoot both bodies side by side to compare low light height ISOs."
He has since posted this info on his own Facebook page along with the low light images he referenced above. According to his post he will soon be posting his Osprey photos as well. If the Electronic shutter is truly viable for BIF and other fast moving animals I will be very happy.

It does take a fairly small and fast BIF to start seeing distortion even on cameras I own that have way slower sensor scan reads than the R5 (although we don't know exactly what the R5 is yet so I'm just assuming it is faster). So I'm not surprised that an Osprey would turn out fine in ES. Osprey have very slow wingbeats (I was just shooting them a couple hours ago)...though if you tried to shoot one in full dive I wonder if it would work?

I have no clue. I'm just trying to find any videos I can that show mechanical shutter.
The clue to when the shutter is firing is the shots remaining counter blinks. If that's correct then I see zero blackout in this video for mechanical shutter and the slightest of stuttering - totally acceptable. Am I right?

I see some freeze frames, but without understanding the hosts, it's hard to tell if that's just the video edit. I need to see if my wife can shed any light on it but her Cantonese is mostly limited to understanding what's happening at dim sum.

Lol yeah I don't speak it but it looks like they are showing the viewfinder(note the evf info) and then showing the shots taken in a slideshow succession as part of the video edit (note no evf info).

more video review. Dont use video much, so it won't change my preorder in getting it.
Despite several posts here rubbishing his results, everything he found was consistent with what I expected. His video has caused me to shift my attention to the R6; if I can live with the 7% crop, it appears to meet my requirements better than the R5.
(I don't agree with him that 4K 60p is necessary other than for slow motion. That might be my bias as a long-term cinephile coming out.)

I replied in that other thread with more detail. The way to tell for sure is the white frame or box flickers when e-shutter.

. It appears it is through the EVF but yes it is hard to tell. It looks pretty similar to the Fros Human eye test where he used an Atomos. The frame count seemed to correspond to the movement when he did some short bursts.
