The next Canon firmware update for the Canon EOS R5 is still on schedule to be released sometime in February 2021 I have been told. The same source also suggested that the new firmware is already out there in beta form in loaner cameras, though I have not been able to confirm that. Some people take their NDA's seriously I guess!
There are also more long-term plans to add features to both the Canon EOS R5 and Canon EOS R6 over the next 12-24 months. Keep flooding Canon with what you'd like to see added to both cameras, they are listening.
The next Canon EOS R5 firmware will include
- Canon Cinema RAW light addition
- C-Log 3
- 1080p @ 120fps
- Bug fixes
I was not given an update on new firmware for the Canon EOS R6.

Yes please, pixelshift.
Lets hope around the 13th which will be the anniversary of the original development announcement - can't believe that was nearly 12 months ago! o_O
Really looking forward to Clog 3 on the R5.
– on cameras without the mode switch (R and R5), there can be an unlimited number of C modes that I can name and choose from the menu (tripod, portrait, street, macro, my cat1, my cat2...)
– I want to customize the dials on Fv mode. There are four dials so I could assign each of them to A, T, iso and compensation. It would be perfect mode then!
Or at least make it possible to change the parameters with the joystick (up-aperture, down-reset aperture, left-shutter speed, .., middle button reset all, back dial: iso, control ring: exposure compensation)

Absolutely. The WYSIWYG mirrorless advantage isn't fully realized with Canon taking more of a DSLR approach where the scene is presented wide open.
