So I sent an email to Canon saying how underwhelmed I was with the latest firmware update 1.8.1 for the R5.

I got a phone call from a Canon representative today. They said this would be passed up the chain. Adding, it was feedback like this they needed to understand what their customers thought.

I mentioned DPReview and RF Shooters and that their were several threads relating to how underwhelmed owners of the R5 were.

I won’t hold my breath but I got a response!
 
It seems that there are still a couple more software updates for the R5 rumoured to come with the last being Big Firmware 2.0 by the end of the year.
According to the Ordinary Film maker video on YouTube.
 
Let's keep our fingers crossed that some of our comments and displeasure with FW 1.8.1 will hit home with Canon and make FW 1.X and 2.0 that much better.

"Looks like we can't win, the interwebs will be angry anyway, let's completely stop working on firmware updates"
