We have been told that a minor firmware update will be released for the Canon EOS R later this month.
Apparently the firmware update will correct some wireless flash compatibility issues.
Do not expect any new features, this will definitely be a minor firmware release.
*Update* It looks like the update has moved to sometime in December 2019.
You can use that word however it's not accurate nor does it show an understanding of product tiers. It's called differentiating. Now I know you're not asking the Rebel line to have 1DX software features.... (maybe you are!)
one may understand product tiers and not agree with or like them. A camera in similar price range with slightly faster fps is not equivalent to pro features on a sub 1k camera. I'm in similar boat as cosmo, though I don't think it was intentionally crippled.. just rushed and they didn't quite have the horsepower to handle everything they were trying to do.
It isn't. Canon's older sensors are just too slow in terms of read out to deliver accurate focus and high FPS at the same time.
And that's a new sensor combined with an 'old' digic 8, imagine what it could do with a digic 9.
We'll see when the 1DX III or high res R come around, I guess. Currently, the rumors that the 1DX III will be around 24 MP, 20 FPS Max would indicate that at least with that body, they are not willing or able to push past the M6 II throughput. So that has my expectations a bit dampened.
In some respects it is better than the 5D Mark IV. Which is better depends upon what one wants to use a camera for. You know that. Otherwise, why would one make the switch for just a matching frame rate? Be real, dude.
I have not noticed any issues with my Flashpoint lighting off camera... including on the 28-70 and the mentioned concern with the LED AF light. The LED AF light is only good to about 12'-13' out anyway. I've had no trouble focusing the 85mm past that distance (real dark conditions), but I have yet to use the 28-70 at a low light shoot.
