Why the Canon R5 isn't for me (and I how I choose my cameras)

I've shot with the R5 on and off over the past year and whilst I can't make a full review (because I don't own it), I can give my thoughts as to why I personally wouldn't pick this camera up. I shared my thoughts on Instagram and some people didn't fully understand so I thought I'd make this video.

The R5 is NOT a bad camera by any means. It's a fantastic camera but every photographer needs to learn HOW and WHY to choose a specific camera and not just because it has X specs or is the latest and greatest. Hope you got something from this!
