I subscribe to a UK photo site,

Digital Camera World, https://www.digitalcameraworld.com/ and they post all sorts of information and results of world wide photo contests. I found this link interesting with some great photos.

They also post major news like AP moving to all Sony cameras because of the silent shutter that mirrorless cameras offer. I've ranted about all the god awful noise at press conferences from mirror boxes in DSLRs and it 's good too know AP is addressing it.

DCW also reported that both the Canon 5R and the Sony A7 overheat when shooting 4K video. It's a by product of the large sensor and IBIS. It takes a lot of muscle to move that large sensor around while shooting video plus the large pixel count generates a lot of data to process. There's a relatively easy inexpensive fix and I'm amazed they went to production without it.

ETA. Neither camera overheats shooting 4K 30p, the issue is with 4K 60p.
