Hi - I have owned my R5C for almost a year now. Primary bought it because it fixed the overheating issues of 4k120 in the R5. I post this not to be controversial (Cinema vs photo); I actually appreciate some of the cinema features;
But... the R5Cs autofocus is *severely* limited in SF mode. Even the 8K60 does a better job of tracking where in SF mode you loose all those features. But I *need* people/object tracking in 4K120 (SF Mode w/ wav). Additionally autofocus in SF mode needs to officially support more than the two Cps and would be nice if we had the updated WideDR 709 profile the C70 got.
Who has an ear on the R5C FW development timeline? Are we expecting an update soon to fix these issues? It certainly is not a "Do everything camera" with out this fix. the C70 had this fixed last year (they can even go up to 160fps) not sure why this could not be an easy fix for canon (like the audio issue). BTW: Hoping for support for the EL-5 too for the photo side
