I was lucky and could get the first and only R5 of my local dealer because I was the first on the preorder list.
Unfortunately there are no sports to cover , so I asked a friend if I could take some shots of her dogs to test the camera and AF and also some take some high ISO images in the forest. The animal and eye detection worked well although I think I could do some progress. The R5 can nevertheless compete with (and hopefully replace) my 1DX Mk II because the combo R5 / RF 70-200 (1923g) is much lighter than 1DX Mk II / EF 70-200 IS III (3151g) and easier to pack. I shot 1220 images (H+, 12fps mechanical shutter) and had 29% battery left. I shot Raw on a Prograde 325GB Cobalt CF-Express (to be able to shoot 8K an 4K 120fps) and JPG on a Prograde 128GB V90 SD-Card with a Prograde reader. In the reader the CF Express gard gets very, very hot! I used Adobe DNG Converter Beta to convert the RAW-files to DNG and imported the DNG files into Lightroom. This took a lot of time and is not a workflow for a sports photographer.
The RAW files are huge: most (757) were between 50 and 59,9 MB, 85 files between 40 and 49,9 MB, 378 had 60 MB and more. The JPG files are big too: between 8 and 22 MB.
Here are some samples (all with R5 and RF 70-200). I added the ISO for information only, the files were processed in Lightroom and the Exposure has been adjusted so you cannot conclude on the ISO performance of the camera.
