Software isn't firmware. Dont be an idiotVery true, that’s why for example as a software dev it’s 100% transparent to me that you are full of shit.

To all those who complain about the camera's spec sheet not being up to par/expectations ergo "I will sell off all my Canon gear at a discount and spend a ton of money to buy the other brand's replacement!", please take a deep breath, go out, find some inspiration and shoot interesting photos or video.
Photography and film have been around for over a hundred years and it has always been about the stunning resulting product be it subject, the decisive moment, the grandeur, etc etc. It has never been about what camera was used.
Old pros sure as heck didn't have the spray and pray 40fps or whatnot nor the dynamic range of modern sensors. Heck, lots were even shot on manual focus! It took experience and skill back then to actually learn and shoot photos, hence why only select few are photographers.

So, what you are clearly stating - by your own words - is that you are NOT a tech savvy person. You somehow think BSI is a huge tech advance - it is not and has almost no advantage in a FF sensor. You call this sensor an antique, well, that is so stupid it needs no reply.
You sound like a mindless gear-head that would gladly pay hundreds (if not more) for a camera as long as the tech is shiny and NEW - even if it offered no benefit or improvement.
And when we don't all agree with you, you feel compelled to repeat the same garbage over and over.
Perhaps you should heed the old saying, "it's better to keep silent and seem a fool, than open one's mouth and remove all doubt."

It has to be posted over and over because people want to complain and are too stupid to understand.

You mean tech savvy people like you who spew asinine claims that stacked BSI sensors are cheaper to produce than FSI sensors and are unwilling (far more likely, unable) to produce any evidence to substantiate your BS?
Or do you mean people who are actually tech savvy? And you have the gall to call others idiots.
Stop being a jackass. Better yet, go troll somewhere else.

I know they are the biggest market but other brands here in Australia don’t charge insane amounts, it’s only Canon. They block third party lenses and charge stupidly high amounts for both EF and RF lenses whereas other brands like Sony charge nearly half the price so pretty hard to justify it.
The problem with that is even despite the warranty an extra 3 years doesn’t equate nearly double the cost. If I bought the 135GM from the US it would be just as expensive but the point it Sony Australia already price it at a fair and reasonable $2300 AUD so the fact Canon charges double that for IS and an extra 3 years warranty is insane.
It’s more of a case that we are a smaller market, B&H doesn’t ship to AU addresses so Canon is trying to milk us for all we have compared to other brands that charge fair amounts.
Good that you are getting decent prices over there! It’s $4599 AUD at launch here!

Pretty obvious. Shouldn't need to be stated. Has always been the case and will even more likely be the case as the tech has reached maturity.

BSI by moving most of wiring behind does allow for better light collection - so "Better low Light" is true... and I am not aware about any stacked FSI sensor - so wiring behind makes it apparently more doable to stack ( if we have 2 separate chips and if it is a one chip stacked design then it has to be BSI , as the wafer has to be exposed on the back side to lay out DRAM etc on that same imaging chip behind sensels)

not huge but still writing is on the wall - more so w/ more megapixels (think 40mp APS-C for example or Sony Semi made 20mp M43 sensor with quad pixel AF for OM-1 - because you know that is 80 mega sensels on m43 chip = 320 megasensels on FF chip) and also BSI is precondition for stacking at least when we will have FF sensors made as one chip, not separate stacked chips

No way that the R5ii will decrease in resolution. The R5 introduces 8k to the hybrid market and it would be crazy to think that a successor wouldn't have that ability!
You need 45mp (3:2) to get DCI/UHD 8k video and it also translates nicely to 4K/HD when oversampling compared to A7RV which needs to oversample from the full sensor or have a crop if they ever release raw recording.

Clearly you mean the multi-function hotshoe but there is anecdotal evidence that the R5's hotshoe isn't as robust as the 5Div so I am very careful when the flash is attached.

Long warranties give piece of mind and a competitive differentiator. Things do wear over time... cars are a good analogy here and also for the second hand market if the warranty is transferable.
The other thing to consider is that Canon released firmware allowing higher temperature recording which generally does reduce semiconductor lifespan. The extended warranty will cover my use of that feature which is nice... ~3 years to go
