Nobody is shooting NFL or NBA games with an R, that is under contract, not ever. There was no need for those 2 videos unless influenced by someone, like a manufacturer. Many of us remember the exact timing of these videos in relation to the EOS R announcement and subsequent concerns about how useful it was going to be for action capture.
I think that was his point. He doesn't have an issue with the auto focus, and 5fps is workable, but the blackout is a no go. I guess you were expecting him to say" get this piece of crap out of my sight"? I don't think that is Peter's style, and the R is a perfectly serviceable camera.
No, I think he is trying to portray the EOS R as capable for sports, then goes out and shoots an NFL game to show just a couple of keepers. The average person would have said "I tried the R, and I got a few keepers, but it just isn't designed for this kind of shooting".
He came off in both of his videos (there might have been a 3rd) as the EOS R is fine for sports. Somebody of his caliber or anybody that actually shoots professional sports that wasn't being supplied gear or prompting for the video would say that. Again timing of these were key to these perceptions as well.
People seem to use Peter Miller videos when it serves an argumentative point, but his videos are dry and without any real substance, I feel, most of them anyways, and rarely do people point to those videos for educational purposes. I am not saying anything about his photographic experience and results, but his videos are bland and many times lacking any real substance.
