More EOS R5 video details
#1
It will offer 8K video in Ultra (UHD-2) (7680 x 4320) and DCI (8192 x 4320) resolutions (and UHD and DCI for 4K too). That means that the camera will have at least a 44.7 MP sensor.
Recording format options (for 8K) are internal RAW, ALL-I and IPB, and external IPB. 4K upto 120fps.

And "outside of external factors, there will be no overheating issues when recording 8K for more than 15 minutes".
 To compare it to the Sony A9 II: 

A9 II does 10 FPS vs 12 FPS of the R5 (both 20 FPS in silent shutter mode)
A9 II has 24mp vs 44.7mp for the R5
A9 II no 8K vs R5 8K RAW/DCI
A9 II 4K upto 30 FPS vs R5 4k upto 120 FPS.

This all illustrates how in one big jump, Canon upped the computing power from lagging the competition the last few years to leap frogging them.

So Canon manages to beat a 2017 camera in 2020? ;-)

Yet for most, this will be an unaffordable camera. Well, most RF lenses are playing in that category as well.
The R6 will be more interesting for most of us and let's hope Canon can give us (pro-)consumer lenses that are a deep dark gap in the lineup.

Only the A9 II is from end of 2019.

Coming next for EOSR5 users are other problems..... 8k that should be around 200GB per minute so you need a lot of storage space.
You need a computer with enough computing power, and you need an adequate display....
If you check prices for decent 8K displays and computers that can handle such files, plus storage with enough space and fast enough communication, it's not the camera price we need to worry about....

That is very backward logic.

The R5 offers 8K for those professionals who for whatever reason need 8K. For those, those "problems" are no issues at all, since they need the 8K.

For those who 8K is "a problem", they can just shoot 1080p, which is no problem at all. And for those who do not need 45mp and 12fps, they do not need a R5.

Great video specs ...... but let's see how close Canon come to matching the A9II when it comes to still photography and action ..... frame refresh rate ..... AF refresh rate ...... and how good is the AF-C in comparison ??
 
 ....... still 8K will catch the eye of many .... even if they can't actually watch it!

Ah, right, I looked up the mk I.

Doesn't make too much of a difference though. The mk I also featured 10/20 fps ;-)

Canon "always" has done good with live view refresh rates, why would they break that trend with the R5? The AF on the EOS R already is good, so the R5 and R6 will do fine.
Or just look at the 1D X mk III to get an idea:
