If people can't get a new camera, they definitely want some feature updates for the Canon EOS R5, EOS R6 and EOS-1D X Mark III. Most of the talk I get about new firmware is for the EOS R5. Solid information about future EOS R6 and EOS-1D X Mark III feature updates haven't been very fruitful.
Firmware v1.3.0 was supposed to be in the hands of external testers/reviewers some time in February, and I've been told by a couple of people that this has yet to happen. As we continue to navigate the pandemic, additional challenges and delays can obviously be expected.
I have been told that there are a couple of early April dealer events in regards to the new firmware in a couple of countries. This could be telling about the timeline for release.
Another source also mentioned that Canon will add “at least one new codec”, but I wasn't given any additional information about the new codec(s).
The next Canon EOS R5 firmware will include
- Canon Cinema RAW light addition
- C-Log 3
- 1080p @ 120fps
- New Codec(s)
- Bug fixes
Again, I don't have any information about firmware updates for the Canon EOS R6 or Canon EOS-1D X Mark III.
Every other camera I used before the R5 had this feature!
Yet, the EOS R got left out. They never even added an interval timer. Or, god forbid, a 4K mode without crop.
Record limit , 10 bit non-log also please
1. It can be charged on camera (18W minimum USB Type-C Power Delivery compliant)
2. It can be used while camera is powered in the ON setting by a 45W minimum powerbank with USB Type-C Power Delivery compliant)
3. H+ mode works fine.
I have no idea about the grip but if I recall correctly you can mix one LP-E6NH with one LP-E6N. That way you will last twice with H+ speed. At least it's worth a shot.
LP-E6 batteries are out of the question but they are too obsolete anyway
Yes, it's a pain in the a$$ when you accidentaly touch the button and find that you've shot 20+ shots of *nothing* because you were unaware that the shutter was firing. The flashing white outline that indicated shutter activity is pretty useless. It would be nice to have a choice of sounds available, and a choice of volume levels. Such a simple thing to fix in firmware.
