It is a camera for taking pictures.

It is stated on their website.

The main market for this camera is probalby not 8k video.

Its also hard to determine if this is a real issue for canon or if its just an issue in a circle of people who are more vocal about it.

he sure went through a lot of trouble if it was not a real problem (maybe he works for Nikon)

He did it because it gave him, as a YouTuber, a great video camera for a very good price.

It is a real problem. The questions is for whom? For the majority of canon R5 buyers? I doubt that.

And even for a youtuber 4k 60fps is more than enough. How many people are watching youtube videos in 8k 60fps. How many people even have the internet speed for that let alone the monitor.

Not many but as Matt explains in his video, you can downsample the 8K footage to 4K to get higher detailed 4K. The same is often done with 4K to 1080p footage for the same reason.
