I have to hit the road so if anyone has links to non biased reviews on the R5 AF I would love to check it out. The AF is the only thing giving me hope that this thing is worth $4300 to me at the moment.
I posted my summary link on page 3 - I will summarise even further:
If your are travel, hiking, backpacking photographer. It's still heavier than r8 by 200grams and $4300.
If you are just focussed on landscape on a tripod - it does not much for you.Still 45mpx/aa. They dropped shift high resolution and put in a gimmicky AI upsizing in body. Dynamic range is not known yet but does not matter on a tripod. Black Friday will be good for you with the r5 (not R5ii).[ Z9 and z8 Nikon don't do as well as d850 at low iso's because of stacked sensor. So if you are shooting landscape, you might want to wait for testing.]
If you are a video centric shooter/profeesional, you would prefer it for clog2, 8k60, proxy editing, cooling battery insert, better a/f,full size HDMI port.... But at $4300 plus 5 new batteries (to get functionality) $500 and $400 for a cooling adapter. Is it worth $~6000 - yes to big video people. Dynamic range should be better with clog2.
If you are an action photographer, you would prefer it for adjustable electronic fps, pre capture, better a/f, (and buffer when you are not at 30fps). I am tempted because I often hit buffer when shooting 20fps and have to wait 4s and pre capture is useful as long as you buy bigger cards and cull. Pre-capture requires $500 of new batteries in addition to $4300 body. Dynamic range is not known. If I don't get it this year I will get if for next year (my bear season is over in September).
