A new, low rated rumor emerged from the interweb of rumor mills. The EOS R5 might get replaced by two different models.

Rumor has it that Canon might replace the EOS R5 with two different models. Says the source of the rumor:

We have been told by an anonymous source that Canon is planning to replace the EOS R5 with two models. This is not unprecedented, as we saw what Canon did with the EOS 5D Mark III. If you remember, Canon added both the EOS 5DS R and EOS 5DS to give us 5D series options.

[…] The source claims that Canon will release a EOS R5 Mark II along with a higher resolution model, perhaps the unicorn that is the EOS R5s?

Don’t know what to think. You?

Latest rumor has it that…:

[…] further firmware updates are coming. It was suggested that there would be 2 more feature updates for the Canon EOS R5 before the end of 2023. With the final version being 2.0.

And that’s all. But it is a rumor about future features to come to the EOS R5 via firmware update ;-)

Stay tuned.

View Post

Canon released firmware updates for the Canon EOS R3 and Canon EOS R5. Please note: at the time of writing the firmware updates were available at Canon Japan, so we link there.

Canon EOS R3 firmware 1.4.0 (download):

  • Compatible with Speedlite EL-5. *It is not compatible with the automatic dimming function of the AF auxiliary light.
  • Added [Registered people priority] to the menu. Pre-registered people can now be preferentially detected and tracked.
    • * The effect may not be obtained depending on the shooting environment and scenes where the subject is moving, such as when the face is small, when the face is slanted/side profile, when part of the face is hidden, or when the subject is moving.
  • [Save/load communication settings to card] has been added to the menu. Network settings can now be inherited between cameras of the same model.
  • [Panning Assist] has been added to the menu. When panning with a compatible lens, “camera shake correction” and “subject blur correction” are performed during exposure.
  • Shortened the time it takes for the AWB results to be reflected in the viewfinder when looking through the viewfinder with the auto white balance (AWB) setting.
  • “Image protection” for FTP transfer has been added to the menu. Images transferred by FTP can now be automatically protected. This makes it possible to determine whether or not the image has been FTP-transferred.
  • Fixed minor bugs.

Canon EOS R5 firmware version 1.8.1 (download):

  • [IBIS High-Resolution Shooting] has been added to the menu. By utilizing the in-body image stabilization mechanism, it is now possible to record images with a higher sense of resolution.
  • [Save/load communication settings to card] has been added to the menu. Network settings can now be inherited between cameras of the same model.
  • You can now trim and resize images while transferring them to the FTP server.
  • “Image protection” for FTP transfer has been added to the menu. Images transferred by FTP can now be automatically protected. This makes it possible to determine whether or not the image has been FTP-transferred.
  • Fixed minor bugs.

View Post

Want a Canon EOS R5 that converts to one of the popular transformers, an OPTIMUS PRIME version? You can.

This is a toy product, but someone might want it. From Canon Japan (machine translated, emphasis mine):

In the Transformers’ annual collaboration project, a product that transforms into a robot from the mirrorless camera “EOS R5” released by Canon Inc. has appeared.
The camera state “EOS R5 mode” is reproduced at 80% scale of the actual camera, and the camera body and lens can be removed like the actual camera.
Although it is a toy product that cannot be photographed, it has a finish that reproduces the details of the main body design.

In addition, in the robot mode “Optimus Prime R5” state, it has a symbolic design with a lens on the chest, and the arms are red and the legs are blue, which is the original color of “Optimus Prime”. Matrix and EOS R5 handheld (Mini EOS R5) are included, which is proof of the leader, and can be held in your hand.

More information can be found here and here too. Will be available at the beginning of 2023.
