I'm really not sure what has happened just now. Is this it? Were there other features that were supposed to be included? Are we just seeing a postponement of other things until a real v2.0 can drop. Will 2.0 ever come? Will it be as major as this one should've been? Were did that teased "feature" information come? If I recall correctly there were supposed to be unique features. I just hope this isn't the last of it.
Canon: next one: v2.0 you know we want it, you know you can do it.
EDIT: It said "sometime this year", sooo this might not have been the one this post was talking about. I guess there's nothing we can do but wait and see. Maybe at NAB, maybe paid, maybe in the next cycle in and around July. My hope didn't die yet.
EDIT2: Yes as expected: HDR PQ and IBIS High-Res don't mix. Thus no HEIF.
EDIT3: No RAW. All JPEG. ~175MB
EDIT4: Here in Europe it is dated as 15.03.2023, so I guess it was only delayed because of an internal bug report, hence the name 1.8.1 Maybe this is an indicator that it's not the one everyone was talking about.
