It is being reported to myself and others that Canon is going to be releasing feature updates to both the Canon EOS R5 and Canon EOS R6 via firmware.
Rumored Canon EOS R5 Firmware Update:
- FullHD 120p
- Adding a low bitrate mode for RAW & IPB in all recording modes
- Canon Log 3
I do find the mention of FullHD at 120p confusing, as the Canon USA site shows FullHD 120p as a feature already.
The Canon USA Pro Twitter account says it’s supported.
Full HD 120fps is supported. The EOS R5 specification information been updated at: https://t.co/il1l11jr50

However, Canon’s own specification PDF doesn’t mention FullHD at 120p.
Rumored Canon EOS R6 Firmware Update:
- Adding All-I for all record modes
- Canon Log 3
When these firmware updates are coming is unknown at this time, but I do expect Canon to put some marketing behind any feature updates that may be coming for each camera.
