I have the R5 and tried pixel shift high resolution when it came out with a firmware update.

I was excited yet after I tried it was nothing but total disappointment.

No RAW output, weird artifacts, extremely long processing time (though this is acceptable given what the camera is doing) to name a few. I can barely say anything from that session was usable, and it's not much better than AI upscale + sharpen on the computer. Yes, better, but a little better. Much worse than I expected.

Therefore I think Canon did the right thing by cleaning up a half-baked gimmick from a pro body.

However I'd be all in if they come of with a proper implementation that actually works well.
