Re: Canon issued a statment regarding the overheating of the R5
I have no interest in video and would never consider buying a camera that compromises factors like size, weight, durability, or ease of use for stills in order to implement video features. I don't mind a camera having video if those features are basically invisible when the camera is used for stills, as on recent Canon DSLRs like the 5DSR. I also don't want to pay a lot more for a features I'll never use.
I suspect the reason the R5 has 45MP instead of a higher resolution, and an AA filter, has to do with the 8K video implementation. I also think the camera's price reflects technical measures required for the video implementation and the desirability (whether that's real or not) of the video features. All of that puts me off a bit since I don't need or want any of it. But adding the size, weight, complexity, price, and lack of reliability inherent in active cooling would make the camera DOA for me. I might represent a minority, but I know lots of people who wouldn't want to compromise these things to have fantastic video features.
All IMO.
