Since the R5 is beginning to ship, please post your images here, and share your thoughts
I know a lot of folks would like to know if there is no black out shooting burst's, be sure to mention the card used, and I am sure a host of other things about the R5
Here are two really quick shots. I had to shoot in JPEG to get Lightroom to recognize the files. The first shot is SOOC. The second I did a couple adjustments on. I realized it wasn't tack sharp on the eyes, but I've only got about 5 minutes before I have to get back to work. Hopefully I can try it on some birds after work. Taken with the RF 50/1.2.

pretty brave and generous of you to let the savages on here pixel peep your child
It any gets a chance how is 12fps mechanical shutter panning side to side while burst shooting? Even 8 fps would be nice to know. I'll probably shoot at 8 from time to time to get 14 bits.
Also if you don't mind if you have an EF lens and adapter is High Speed Display available?
Looks good. I think the EVF refresh rate factory settings is power saving or 60 fps. On Page 276 of then manual it says "You can select the performance parameter to prioritize in shooting screen display for still photos".
I'm assuming that Smooth is for Stills only because there is no other info. If you are in Smooth and start burst shooting does it kick into Power savings? It you have some time explore it that would be nice. No pressure. Lots to go over right and others will explore that as well.
I'll delete this when they start coming in. 
, 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.
