All joking aside I'm like you with shooting a 5D4 or 1DXII and not having to worry about a battery all day. It will be interesting to see how the R5 battery fares with shooting stills. If it requires a few battery changes then I'm not interested. Bring on a 5DV please!
I'm seriously amazed that one would forego the obvious advantages of AF just so that you don't have to change batteries. But to each their own, as they say.
As for the reduced frame rate: I've been shooting my 1DX2 with my old 1Ds3 batteries and oh my the shutter was slowed down from 14 to 12, not sure the number of times I missed it. So if I have to feed the R5 my old batteries if in a pinch, I am sure I can stomach the reduced frame rate, and that probably holds true for most other people as well.
As for "only compressed raw possible in E-shutter" - all Canon raws have been compressed, always. So that's good. And if he's referring to CRAW, then that's fine too. It's objectively hard to measure the difference on the R, and I have been using Sony's equivalent for the better part of a year now and I really can't tell much of a difference either. So I think we'll be fine.
