Canon confirms addition of Canon Log 3, Cinema RAW Light, lower bit rates and more for the EOS-1D X Mark III and EOS R5

LOL Canon!!! You're giving Canon-Sony-Canon-Sony switchers heart attacks

I fear that the R5 will be getting all the good updates/upgrades while the R6 will get close to nothing.

Just getting better and better.

I'm sure R6 will get good updates also. Rumored firmware soon.

Why no mention of 480p at 2,372 fps? It's clear they are just trying to protect the Phantom T1340. If they don't add this capability I'm going to take them to the UK small claims court.

Wish the M's would receive some occasional firmware improvements.

Maybe anohter 5 minutes of time uppage too

I don't suppose there are any rumours to update the EOS R firmware with animal AF?

The R6 might get lost in the dust as the R5 is only a couple of thousand more. Dog food is not that bad!

I haven't even received my R5 yet and it's already a better camera than when I ordered it! This update will make it even better! Good job Canon!

Good to see things improving for R5 and hopefully R6 will get similar updates soon

It's quite possible that EOS R does not have enough hardware to do it in realtime.

While I'm sure the R5 will be the priority, I think we can expect good firmware updates for the R6, where warranted. Canon did right by R owners, so I expect they will do the same by R6 owners.

The lower bitrate will help with that. I am really happy with this news, especially the cinema raw. The 8K will find its use in my eyes.

Clog 3 and FHD 120p, that fits many wishlists well.
I guess my personal wishlist will be unfulfilled, I bought my R5 in China, and cannot change image.canon to US/UK server and can only get my photos into Baidu not even the app. No option to choose and no way i can get a Baidu account even.

Canon has to justify the price differences between R5 and R6 and 1DX3 and this might be a means to do that.

Where/how has this been confirmed?

vangelismm · Aug 27, 2020

Lower bit rate option for 8K RAW video recording

What's the benefit? Less heat?
