I'm just installing it now. Hopefully, it's not some sick Canon joke that removes features.This sounds good. Now we want to know, is it as good as rumored?
LOL - April Fools!I'm just installing it now. Hopefully, it's not some sick Canon joke that removes features.
Without messing with anyone's NDA please post as many details as possibleI'm just installing it now. Hopefully, it's not some sick Canon joke that removes features.
Just because it hasn't happened before, doesn't make it true now. Canon is having one heck of a battle with Sony for the mirrorless crown—which means they need to do things differently than in the past.It is unlike Canon to offer a firmware upgrade as good as the one that is rumored (C-Log3, Canon raw light, more frame rates, etc). Seems way too good to be true and since it seems like it was supposed to be released a few times now, I am starting to think it's not going to happen. Feels more like the specs of an R5c.
When has Canon ever offered that significant of a firmware? That's more of a Panasonic thing. People begged for the 10-bit codec on C200. Never happened. Same with EOS R. Etc etc. They update some AF tracking and some small updates here and there, but never something like new codecs and log-profiles.
Same here. I have been playing with 8K lately and pleasantly happy with the result. The 8K raw is way too heavy. The 8K ALL-I is similar. I am wondering about the raw light. The 8K IPB is really good. I just want that 12-bit thing when really, really, needed.Thanks for the update. Looking forward to RAW light.
Canon offered CLog option to 5Div soon after release as a service centre upgrade for USD199 to compete with the GH5/A7Sii. It then changed all future 5Div purchases to have CLog built in at a higher list cost.It is unlike Canon to offer a firmware upgrade as good as the one that is rumored (C-Log3, Canon raw light, more frame rates, etc).

@Canon Rumors Guy
right... and ignore his NDA?!... great suggestion.Im still not convinced, send it to me so I can check it myself.
says who? If you don't have planned obsolescense in the back of your mind as a company, why not upgrade the functionality of things to make them more appealing to customers? Whatever can be upgraded by software should be upgraded by software.... sustainability and such.Keep in mind that the original intent of firmware updates is to fix things that are broken. While we may not get anything new, there are likely fixes to existing issues such as the lockups.
Pretty sure he was making a joke.right... and ignore his NDA?!... great suggestion.
The noise and compression artifact pattern around the number look legit... and since this firmware has been announced, might as well be legit. Guess we'll have to wait and see.
Cool. Notice anything added/changed? Or is it more of a quiet bug release?I now have the firmware for one of the cameras, it should be available to download this week.
Would love to see it released this week. I have eagerly anticipated CLOG3 and Cinema RAW Light and some bug fixes for lockups and general reliability. Also, that RATE button needs to be customizable please!Final Firmware Versions:
- Canon EOS R5 v1.3.2
- Canon EOS R6 v1.3.0
- Canon EOS-1D X Mark III 1.4.0
