    1. So in 10/20 years when I pull out a old R5 to play with, will I need a firmware upgrade for it to work with the 100-500mm f/4-5.6 II ? It seems almost every model needs a software patch, which is a bit odd and concerning for the future. Perhaps over thinking this a wee bit.

      Probably not, but the RF mount is obviously going to continue to evolve and there may be new instructions for image stabilization and autofocus.
    5. no animal eye focus for EOS R? :(
      Yes, Was hoping for more features added. We can keep on hoping I guess.... Depends if they class it as processor limitation or similar.
    7. Done, yes the touch-bar now works just like a scroll wheel for quickly going through in playback mode.

      I wish it could be configured for a different function for photo or video mode, but it's ok. Maybe each time a new lens is added they could add something little extra :) But I don't think they will.

      I feel like my 5D4 would always get firmware update when they would announce new lenses too.
    10. no animal eye focus for EOS R? :(
      Animal Eye AF is exclusive to DPAFii. It has a faster refresh time and it able to lock on to subjects in a much smoother an accurate manner. After using it on the 1Dx3, my 5D4 and R seem so lack luster and clunky now.
    11. Geez, using the Touch Bar you can really flipping quickly skip through photos in playback mode. Actually kinda cool, better than the skip 30 per click I have set at the moment.
    15. They just can't let that stupid touchy bar die, can they?
      Haha, nope. Canon is just trying to do the best they can to make up for their mistake of bringing it into existence. Their efforts are appreciated though. I actually really like being able to browse through images quickly with the touchbar now (slide and hold).

      I would expect that the lenses will work even with older firmware, but without digital correction. Someone will have to try the new lenses on an R without the firmware to see what happens.
